glad they were able to film that with a potato for the best sound quality

It sounds sweet though. Completely quiet still when just putting around, but when you get on it, it's a BEAST! Almost obnoxious but I love it!

Worth $4500 for some added noise and very little performance? Personally I'd say HELL NO!
Our catbacks are really quite sufficient for 400-500+ HP.
If you want to get some more noise and get an ACTUAL gain in performance, install some downpipes. Only cost me $800 and the car sounds fantastic now
Having a switch for your exhaust is awesome and I would totally get an Armytrix if it was $1000-1200. But $4500 for a switch and some valves?? Get real

Get the AWE Track for 1/4 to 1/5th of the price! For $5k, get yourself an awesome tune, killer wheel & tire setup, an AWE exhaust, coil springs to lower at least 1-1.5 inches, maybe get a carbon fibre spoiler, and take a long weekend to go to track the car (road race & 1/4 mile) and have enough left over for the 3 night hotel stay and meals (steak dinner).....

Totally agree! $4-5k on just an exhaust? Get the AWE Track for 1/4 to 1/5th of the price!

Haha! That is true, but you should already be able to afford that. A car is a depreciating asset, therefore rule of thumb you're not supposed to spend more than 35% of your income on your car. If 4-5k is pricey for you, I would recommend an American or Japanese car.
"Killer wheel & tire setup"
Vossen has nice VFS/2 rims but due to the suspension set up and front brake needed to clear, I would need a forged rim. Below shows a C450 with vossen forged rims, his rims alone are $7,000.

Adv.1 wheels sets price at 3k but has the same issue like the vossen, so the forged set for 4 rims are $14,000.
Personally I do not care about the +10-20 HP difference since I do not track my car.

I'd be happy with some of the TSWs I've seen on the C43/C450s posted out there. ;-)

Knowing there are other quality alternatives out there which give the same result for 1/3 the price would keep me from spending the $4,500.

This one maybe better as it's a Warm Engine and Exhaust so that you can hear what the AWE Touring Sounds like when its Warm and not a Cold Start like the previous video.
