    Blown cat(s) or AWE resonator(s) ?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Got back from vacation and noticed the AWE resonated system sounding much raspier and less exotic. Car is Stage 2.

    Put it up on the hoist and knocked/banged the system in various areas. Mufflers seem in tact as do the resonators, no rattling however when grabbing the exhaust and shaking it, I heard slight rattling in the system in the piping before the resonators on the Awe resonated downpipes. Could the cats actually be in the process of dicingrating internally and that’s what I’m hearing/experiencing?

    I don’t see any gray debris on the exhaust tips and no smell or CEL

    Any insight or possible similar experiences are appreciated.....

    Thanks in advance!

    How many miles at stage 2? If you have a hoist can you take a section off to check the rattle?

    60K KM, so roughly 40K miles, yes I can, just didn’t want to cut into the AWE system...... gonna give the car a spirited drive to see if any material blows out the back/debris on tips/CEL gets tripped.
