That looks pretty good!
CT5 Blackwing. Thoughts?

The tips are silly. Should have done stock or similar. If round, definitely not sticking out the way they do.

Disagree. I'm into those for sure.

​

@Sara/AWE Any info on pricing? Weight reduction vs the OE exhaust?

 

[TERRAVAST4]

I agree. I like a stock look with an exhaust upgrade.

 

[ngoni]

I would prefer the stock look as well.

Happy that we have more options. A 4.5" quad tip on the back is extreme for my liking.

 

[Roadhawk]

Looks great...sounds good. I can see installing these in my future. I'll probably want to hear more and see some reviews (and pricing) before deciding but I'm pleased with what i see and hear.

 

[piranha971]

Is the loud path routed through a muffler or a straight pipe? Not a fan of straight pipe sound on this engine.

If I were to get an aftermarket exhaust, I think I'd prefer the Corsa slanted black chrome tips. Maybe AWE will have something similar at some point.

 

[Roadhawk]

I agree = they are nice.

100% agree. If Corsa had a square/carbon or at least square option it would already be on my car.

Seems like the slash cut is planned based on their description here: AWE Exhaust Suite for Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing - AWE

In R&D as we speak! Will be posting about this one sooon

They are depth adjustable, so that is certainly down to personal preference and can be set to your liking.

All of the info will be out as soon as the exhaust releases and I will be sure to bump and update the thread with all the info

Since the stock tips are welded to the system we were very limited when it came to options for this system and it would not be feasible to use the stock tips with our exhaust.

We did test some tip options for R&D anything smaller than 4.5 looked pretty ridiculous in the BW's uniquely shaped valance openings.

That being said, tip depth and placement is adjustable and also may be standing out more against our all black dev car's styling. Black tips will be available as an option as well.

Since the system is not released yet, not all the info is live. As soon as it is released the site as well as this thread will be updated with all the info

Is the loud path routed through a muffler or a straight pipe? Not a fan of straight pipe sound on this engine.

There is plenty of sound tuning via the X as well as 2 resonators ahead of the 180 Tech resonator that is valve-directed. We put much thought and engineering hours into the sound design of our systems not just tube path

Personally, I have several hours behind the wheel and in my opinion our engineers provided a really well rounded system, smooth tame tones when the valve is closed and aggression on demand with them open, without being over the top. Luckily you don't have to take it from me since we post plenty of sound clips once the system releases for your review

We will offer a black option very similar to the 4.5" double walled and slash cut chrome ones shown. Of course more photos and video of both will be available upon release.

You got it! 4.5" double walled and slash cut tips in chrome silver and diamond black.

Will update the thread with more info as soon as it is released

I was so excited for AWE to be making a 4BW exhaust, but those tips are really bad. It sounds great, and I'm sure it's great build quality, but there's just no way I could live with that look.

I fully understand the engineering challenges that come with trying to re-use the stock tips and how that isn't feasible, but without a more understated option, it looks like I won't be considering this one.

 

[sps4runner]

Understated...
Thinking smaller tips or would the black ones be enough?
Looks like the tips clamp on so AWE may be able to offer some options.

Sooooo pumped for this!!!
