AWE Exhaust for Civic Type R - Comparison of Stock DP / Catted DP/ Catless DP

[Civictyperyuko]

In percentages how loud are they compared to eachother? Like stock dp being 100% , catted would be 125% ect..? Thank you

Did you just install yours? Once broken in, it will get a little better. You’ll still have the echo/ringing sound around cruising speeds though. I recommend removing the trunk spare parts and putting on noico sound deadeners. It reduces the sound SIGNIFCANTLY. I love the exhaust even more now. Message me if you’re interested in doing that... compliments to repyT!

you want a layer like this and another layer of 150mm noico red

Hey Bro sorry to bother you, Any idea how much material you needed to do the trunk? I don't want to buy 5 square feet and be super short but also don't want to buy $100 worth and have a ton of leftovers. Thanks

Mmm I think 5ft may be cuttin it short. Is there like a 10ft? Better to have some left over for other projects. For me, ordered the 36sq ft and 18sq ft deadeners and so many were left over.

From what I found there is 5 and 36 of course lol. It's all good, if it cost me $100 and it actually makes a noticeable difference in drone then it's worth every penny. I have 2 other choices. Duel phase midpipe for $500 from AWE and have no idea if it actually works or welding in a vibrant resonator. Worth trying this first for sure.

Yeah, I’ve contemplated getting the dual phase as well since I’m going to be keeping this car for a long time. The only thing holding me back is spending up to 1700 dollars total with that set up. Maybe there will be more options when the new type r comes out. Good luck to you though

So the only thing that really helped with the drone was adding 2 additional resonators. Yes I have sound insulation in the trunk too. Save your money with AWE midpipe and just add a pair of resonators. I had a shop weld them in and I have ZERO drone even now with a catless downpipe, yes it gets loud at high rpm’s but ZERO drone

1st resonator is 5” round body and 2nd resonator is 4” round body. Hope this helps.

We added it as an additional option for cars running downpipes. While we can’t account for every DP manufacturer's materials, cell count, etc. we implemented our 180 Technology® into the mid-pipe to help kill the overly-raucous frequencies produced when having a DP in the mix. Of pretty important note, our patented 180 Technology® does not utilize packing material in the resonators (at all), and are (literally) straight-through from inlet to outlet.

It’s not designed to muffle your Civic to only be heard at high RPM.

When developing the DualPhase mid, the same DP was used from our initial exhaust development which was a catted unit from PRL. Hope this helps, and feel free to PM me

Thanks for the reply, It's much appreciated. It's actually the route I'm going. I talked to the owner of Unity Performance last night and he had nothing but great things to say about it. He had the midpipe on his FK8 and vouched that it works really well. I definitely didn't want to hack up my exhaust but was hesitant to spend $500 to find out it didn't cut down the drone enough but I'm pretty convinced at this point that it will. I have the Catted PRL downpipe as well.

Nice to see you on here, Matt

Hi y'all, total newbie but just installed awe touring on stock downpipe (no midpipe) and it's a lot louder than I expected, not great for my toddler. Love the tone but don't like the drone/resonation at 2.5-3k rpm. I've seen some ppl mention packing the trunk with insulation vs installing a resonator vs buying the dual phase midpipe , curious what your thoughts would be for next steps.
