After reading this post, i am genuinely interested in getting AWE exhaust with black tips, but i have a hard time justifying the price. I might wait for black friday or something to see if it goes on sale unless someone here got the hook ups lol

I ended up going with the SXTH intake. That said, if you get the chance, I'd love to see Mishimoto and Stillen added to the comparison. Of course, that would probably mean retesting the other intakes as well, since ambient temperatures during your original testing were likely much cooler than...

I made a post asking if anyone had feedback on the K&N intake, specifically whether the oiled filter causes any issues with the sensor. Rob was first reply by posting the Banks intake with his usual ad disclaimer. I told him, “No thank you, that’s not what I’m here for.” A couple hours later, I...

This is awesome. Your video was super informative and honestly a big part of why I’m leaning toward it now. I definitely 100% blame you for that, jk lol. When I first watched it, I got the impression that it was still more of a prototype since you mentioned relaying your findings back to HQ so...

Did you ever post a YouTube video about this? I swear I watched a guy online talking about having to extend the pipe near the flange because of some hanger issue early in the production cycle. I’m no stranger to loud cars since pretty much everything at my house is titanium straight piped, but...

Love the assessment. Appreciate the response, but I think this proves the original point. There’s a difference between educating consumers and constantly inserting yourselves into conversations to call competitors ‘poorly designed’ or ‘bogus.’ Even if some criticism is fair, the tone comes off...

Hey guys, I wanted to see if anyone here has had long term experience with the Stillen Exhaust. How do you like it in daily use? How noticeable is the drone? Have you felt any real power gains, maybe dyno versus what is being claimed? I really want the AWE system, but the Stillen price point is...

Are we just going to ignore the fact that Banks inserts themselves into every post asking about the SXTH intake, trash talk other products, essentially steering people away with messages like “don’t buy SXTH or K&N, buy ours" lol. I was a potential buyer, but the way the brand presents itself...

Agreed 100%. No doubt they make a great product, I am not dismissing that. It just felt like a desperate attempt to push their product when it was not even asked for. Someone asked about a K&N intake in a group, and Banks came in and hijacked the thread, trash talked the product, and promoted...

I ended up going with the SXTH intake and boost tubes. A big reason was the condescending attitude and ego from some of the Banks reps and affiliates. The way they responded to anyone with criticism or negative feedback about the product was a huge turnoff to me. It felt like the mentality was...

Sure, it's all marketing to prevent the competition from entering the market by having an affiliate delete all related contents because there are incentives for them if a product gets a sale. I get it lol, but I said the same thing to SXTH as well. I prefer hearing from actual consumers and...

I have no objections to Banks at all. I think they’re a reputable company with a proven history in the industry. My issue was more with the bias and silencing of opinions within that large FB group, whether the feedback was positive or negative. I understand affiliate sales play a role and...

I noticed this very fast when my comment got deleted and I was given a warning for "self promotion, irrelevant comments & link".... when all I did just shared a screenshot of the SXTH boost tubes and intake. It wasn't even a jab at anyone, nor anything derogatory. I did glance at that before...
