So this video was basically just a really long ad...Got it.
What a fucking waste of time. Clickbait me once, never get my business again.
Sooo, how do you cancel the drone without upgrading to the 180 technology 🧐
yup basically this was a long, convincing sales pitch for buying the exhaust he mentioned.
im glad someone felt the same way. I was a little let down when he finally got to how to fix drone and its basically "buy our sponsers products"
Get an aftermarket resonator
180 technology is just a commercial term to say helmoltz resonance on exhaust. thats what manufacturers have always used before. The cheapest way to fix drone is to create a J pipe with a calculated lenght that cancels out the undesired frequency. There are many tutorials on youtube about j pipes.
J bend in the pipe. Go to an experienced muffler shop and tell them around what speed and rpm you get drone and they'll be able to make a bend in the pipe to help with drone.
I have an FK8 with the AWE Touring Exhaust. I had significant drone with this exhaust. It was more noticeable in the winter time and not to bad in the summer in the summer (ambient temp affects the speed of sound). I ended up fixing the problem by buying their dual phase mid pipe option that adds another resonator/phase chamber to the exhaust, and have not had an issue since. So yes, throwing the frequency out of phase at the tail pipe is a good idea, but its not always going to be enough to fix the problem and their exhaust are not exactly drone free out of the box as stated in their marketing.
All exhausts drone at highway speed
waste of time, nothing more than an AWE commercial
Will they release one for the 8th gen civics? =(
I coated the whole hatch, and passenger seat floor with Dynamat, eliminated the drone in the cabin. Going to add more as I really like how quiet it has become if I choose to have some peace while my exhaust still rumbles away.
was that hard to do ?
Ok, so all this turned into was a commercial for a sponsor for AWE... No real solutions to the problem other than, Buy their patented180 technology" 🥴🙄 Wack.....
I literally came across this video while trying to find content to figure out how to get rid of drone on my AWE. How ironic.
Just keep the resonator and do a muffler delete, always the best set up! :)
Invented a muffler and resonator GJ..
Just a sales pitch
Dude 4 minutes to get to the point and it ended up being an advert. Poor form dude, poor form.
so the fix is change the exhaust?
I called them a while back asking if I could put a resonator on the system I had put on my civic. It drones so bad and I'm fine but those who ride in the car either love it or can't handle it for very long lol. After a drive to Vegas which took me 10 hours or more I couldn't hear shit. After several hours I couldn't handle it. $1400 exhaust system shouldn't sound that way imo. After they responded I gave up because all I wanted to know was, "Can I add a resonator to the system I put on in hopes of eliminating some of the harshness of that sound, if so which, if any, would you recommend?" I got a response about how everyone precieves sound differently... well duh! I understand that but even someone as myself who can deal with the loudness just fine but also doesn't care for the drone factors, I can agree the system needs some form of dampening. It's vibration is louder in the car than outside, and that's the point was getting at. The sound is great the actual physical properties of that system changed the dynamics in a way that adding the Honda resonator back into the system might of been enough to create the perfect combination to get that exhaust note I was hoping for. But I wasn't able to get that answer from them, nor could they even give me an idea of where I should install the resonator in regards to that system. But in the end, it is what it is for me, and this news here makes me feel better knowing they have put some effort into fixing such a challenging task. I do love their exhaust systems and look forward to next system I get now. Lol good work
Took way too long to get to the point
Been looking at your stage 1+ package, live in MN so an OTS tune for a small amount of time from the same state seems smarter than a different. But my WRX is a 2021 and your packages say 15-20 :/
Unfortunately we do not have any tunes for the '21 WRX.
@@maperformance if I roll up with mine can I get a discount so you can put it on your site too? 😏 What's the change from the 20 to the 21 that calls for a different tune? Or does each year have its own?
A while damn ad, wtf maf
I got so nervous when you closed that laptop
Sales pitch about AWE , no answer for drone
3:45
Thank you
My 22 WRX drones, even with the stock exhaust 😂😂
It's all in the resonator.
Reverse Uno for the win!
Solo j pipe is the answer keep the noise but quiet inside
I have awe touring w test pipes and I have drone ..
I'm pretty sure all I just watched was an AWE ad. Basically clickbait for AWE.
Sorry gotta call out BS on the AWE 180 tech. Bought the AWE touring exhaust w performance midpipe for my 2013 BMW 335i and the drone was crazy and way too loud. Per recommendation from the muffler shop put a Vibrant bottle resonator and it reduced drone by approx 80% and also got a little quieter. But still drones on highway speeds around 90mph.
Cancel culture exhaust drone 😂😂 loved that!
Or you can just install a j pipe. Same concept.
Thanks for wasting my time!
This video reminds me why I chose to stop getting this channel recommended.
