Exhaust

took me somewhere between 2-3 hours this weekend, no lift or jacks on my back.
Removal of stock was easier for me because I had the mrt trail rated already installed.
The connection to the cats was the biggest pain in the ass for me. I don't know who thought of that idea for gaskets, but they suck.
I have to go back under this weekend to make some adjustments, but overall all fairly easy. Just make sure you have something in hand to support the driverside muffler during install.
How would you compare the two?

I have the MRT Extreme and think it sounds great. Just waiting for someone to come out with a good down pipe setup.
 
Curious to hear some drive by runs and acceleration.
Im working on uploading the video tonight, I was going to edit and make clips of it but I'll just upload the entire video. That will be the last time my truck will sound like that......

Apples to oranges, the mrt trail rated is basically a muffler replacement/valve removal, the awe is is a full cat back. The valve removal was important to me, I don't like that there's the slightest possibility of those failing, I could not believe how small the opening is when the valves are closed, the rattle at idle/startup was aggravating, and even with the valves open, they definitely would still cause a restriction in the exhaust. The mrt does a 45 degree offset inside the muffler, but is more or less straight through. The awe is completely straight through and also removes some of the cat back section that is flattened from the factory for what I assume is clearance.

Honestly, I would say both are EXACTLY as advertised, just depends on what you're looking for.i enjoyed thr mrt for it's advertised purpose, the awe is a little loud at cold start and during light acceleration for my liking, but I can live with that. The idle sounds very nice, the highway cruising is stock, or honestly possibly better, the wide open throttle is unreal. It's exactly how I want this thing to sound at full throttle.
