I was always on the fence about getting the AWE touring exhaust. I pulled the trigger and was actually quite underwhelemd in the beginning. It made more noise, and the overall turbo spool felt more responsive at WOT. But I figured it must sound a lot quiter inside with all the sound deadening and electronics. So, rather than have a buddy film my drive-bys, I went with gopro.
Spoiler- if you were on the fence, watch and just go get it! It is awesome!

How is the cabin comfort with the new pipes?

Yep, I hope to help people decide. On anything other than Dynamic mode, its pretty docile. Louder at WOT but hardly from in the cabin. There is Zero obnoxious drone whatsoever inside the cabin. Dynamic mode with the lower gears definitely picks up the decibels some more especially at WOT. I shot the vid to prove my theory that it gets waaay louder from outside and I never really knew by how much till now.

If there's one mod I had to pick as my favorite it would be the AWE exhaust. The best part is as its broken in (now have 8k miles on it) it has gotten slightly louder, deeper and when you let off the throttle you get some pops and crackles... just amazing AWE did an AWEsome job with this. My only wish is that it were 5-10% louder, but its great.

In case anyone needs more convincing I'll throw in my own videos...

The first two are right after getting it installed, sounds "young"

Sorry for the litany of videos but one last one...

Some autocross action, first time I had done this in the S6, please forgive my poor lines but a great demo of the exhaust and what other people hear

Worth every penny!

Sounds great, Mel. Wish I could find more clips of the A6 version. Not too many out in youtube land.
