Awe axleback or muffler delete

I’m planning on getting the awe axleback and putting on catless dp will this be louder than a muffler delete and catless dp just wonder which one would be louder I don’t wanna get the full exhaust from awe bc it’s too much

Search here and/or on youtube and i'm sure you will find video of the exact combinations you are referring to.

Awe and a delete are completely separate. AWE is said to be loud but obviously a delete is the loudest you'll ever get BUT drone and quality might not be as great as the AWE. I personally would straight pipe the shit out of my car if I didn't have two small kids and a wife that ride in my car a lot

do a downpipe with a straight through mid pipe to an mperformance axle back. by far the best combo in my opinion

Muffler delete would be louder. But remember that it's not just volume, it's the depth of sound. Sound quality. AWE axle-back sounds great.

If you want loud, obnoxious sound - whack the muffler off

If you want refined, beautiful sound with no drone - go with AWE

If cutting off the muffler = good sound, everyone would do it instead if spending $2k+ on an exhaust system

You can always do an exhaust cut out pre muffler if you want a straight pipe noise so you have the best of both worlds

I put an AWE axleback and a hi flow downpipe on my 328i n20 and it sounds great louder than before but in a good way. You won't be disappointed.

I just put the AWE axle back on my F32 with stock mid and downpipe. Coming from a straight piped N54 with catless DP's and a small resonator, it is much quieter. I am installing the downpipe tomorrow and so I'll let you know ; )
