2 questions
a) with the valves closed and in comfort mode, is the sound almost like stock?
b) Did I see somewhere where U test the AWE tuning touring? I am curious on your thoughts on how they compare.
My initial impression though, is the the meisterchaft is definitely worth the extra money. I have waited long enough, I'm ready now to upgrade the sound, but I'm very happy with the stock power, I'm just interested in the sound.

a) With the valves closed it almost sounds quieter than stock.
b) We have tested both I find the touring to be a little better value then their track addition. I am a huge fan of being able to sleep the car so miesterchaft was the way to go for me. Each person is different we will have them together again for downpipe installation soon when we do we will get video of them together

Any drone whatsoever when valves are open/closed in that 1500-2400 rpm range?
With the AWE Touring exhaust there is a slight drone in those rpm ranges but definitely bearable.

Loud drone/resonance
Just got the weistec catless downpipes and rest is original, after mounting I have an unbareable drone/resonance around 3000-4000rpm.
It sounds so loud if is embarrassing to drive the car.
Anybody have this problem when mounting downpipes? If yes how did you fix?
I am thinking about welding some 100cell HJS cats in it - but will it be enough?
when swopping back to OE downpipes with cats drone is completely gone.
