Ordered mine over the weekend from Nick @ gotexhaust.com
Saved me a few buck with no shipping charge. Can't wait to hear it. Hopefully the 2022 My starts being built soon. I'm getting impatient 😒
What's your impression of it?

I recently bought the AWE exhaust and had them install it at their shop in Horsham, PA for my Ram. They went ahead and pulled the Corsa catback off. Their shop is EXTREMELY nice, very clean and the employees were all friendly. The installation was very well done. The welds are top notch and the pipe looks to be of high quality, and the fitment is perfect. They weren't kidding on that guarantee. The sound is deep and the cold starts are aggressive, it truly does have an amazing sound.

The downside that I've noticed is that there is constant volume in the cab while you're driving. If you let off the throttle, it goes away, but as you're cruising down the freeway at 60-70mph, you WILL hear this exhaust all the time. Unfortunately, I was under the impression that it was only loud when you lay into the throttle and goes dead silent when cruising, this is not the case. My Ram did not come with the resonator from the factory on the mid pipe. If it did, it would probably drop the volume down a little but nothing substantial.

At this point, I'm not sure if adding a Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonator will do the trick or not.

Of course take my opinion with a grain of salt as sound is very subjective to everyone, differently.

So they removed the cat as well - would that affect the sound? Never removed one to date.

The stock cats are not removed. There's a mid pipe on all the 5th Gen Rams. Some came from the factory with a resonator and some didn't.

I had the Borla ATAK (recently sold it with plans to buy this AWE 0FG but haven't yet). The Borla was the same way, quiet with no throttle, noisy with moderate throttle and loud with full throttle. The cabin noise is just noise, not Drone which AWE and Borla claim to not have and they are true to that. I have a 2021 laramie so I didn't have the front resonator either, added the borla optional resonator and helped a bit but still just had that noise.
I'm glad you chimed in because I really didn't want to spend another $1200 and have similar results.

A lot of people are going to hate me for saying this but the Borla ATAK is LOUD. It sounds awesome but I feel bad for neighbors...and a little noisy in the cabin. I originally wanted the Corsa but didn't want to spend the extra couple hundred dollars.

hmmm... exhausts are completely subjective cause I've had my ATAK on for 8 months and wish it was louder. It definately screams when you get on it but very subdued otherwise. Opinions vary i guess, too each his own!

I don't know what it was but I had a decent amount of noise in my cabin. I'm not sure if that factory front resonator that the '19 to 20s' have makes a difference but it was noisy. I've watched nearly every video on the internet and even read all the forums and most people mentioned it being fairly quiet in the cab. I guess I'm one of the select few...

Exhaust is definately subjective my 21' doesnt have the resonator either so it cant be that, but i've run long tubes and catless mids on my SRT-10 and a few other vehicles so maybe i'm the wrong guy to ask but sometimes i'm in it and i'm like damn i wish it was louder! :ROFLMAO:

I have a 2021 Laramie 4x4 ORG 3.92 rear and I have the mid pipe resonator that came stock. I've ran a muffler swap Borla XS Pro and a Super 10 with the rear resonators deleted while leaving in the front resonator. Right now the Super 10 is still installed and I'm waiting for the AWE to arrive.

For anyone wanting an nice sounding and more refined aggressive exhaust (with zero drone.).. Swap out the OE muffler for a 3 inch Borla XS Pro and delete the two rear resonators. To me it is like a more aggressive stock sound and quiet while cruising. Decent cold start but not too loud and after idle it calms down. Acceleration opens up the exhaust but chills back down at cruising and/or in ECO mode. That said, not sure if the front resonator has anything to do with assisting with drone.

The Super 10 is even more aggressive. Loud cold start, deeper tone, nice grumbly idle and aggressive acceleration. For someone who doesn't mind a little louder exhaust while cruising will probably be just fine with the Super 10. ECO mode does get a little bassy but overall, it is not bad at all.

All this said, I'm wanting to swap out the whole system for the AWE catback. What little sound clips I've hear it sounds good and worth giving a shot. For those volume sensitive, just swap out for a Borla XS Pro.

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for this to be a bash or anything, as it isn’t by any means. The sound is truly incredible. A couple things to keep in mind; I have a 3.92 gears and no resonator. I actually have another factory midpipe with the resonator on it. I’ll throw that in then report back.

Please don’t let this be a deterrent. It isn’t obnoxiously loud by any means cruising, just a constant hum, where you know it’s there. To me, I like silence until I get into it. AWE really does make some of the best stuff on the market. I also use my truck as a daily driver and I have an hour commute each way, 5 days a week.

Do you like the Corsa or the AWE better?

Don't worry, I didn't take any of that as bashing. I watched @HammerdownMotorsports videos because he had the same as I did (Borla ATAK and switched to AWE) and liked it much better. I loved the Borla ATAK when you stepped on it. I was stuck between that and the Corsa. I liked the corsa setup better because it had nicer tips.

Now, with the AWE based on it's design, had better adjustability AND better tips. I'm not a huge fan of the rolled tips...they just seem a little cheap to me.

I sold my Borla ATAK but now just trying to decide if I want to spend another $1k for another exhaust system. I love how quiet the factory exhaust, but I did smile from ear to ear when I floored the Borla Atak.

Just my opinion.
