Default AWE Track exhaust issues? missing tips?

Just curious if anyone bought the AWE track exhaust for their C8 and were missing parts? I finally got my C8 into the sop for the exhaust and they were to the end of the job and I had 2 passenger side tips. So now I am stuck waiting on Cicio Performance to get a hold of AWE to get me a new tip. Which sucks since I was putting new tires on it this weekend which is not going to happen. Anyone else have this issue with AWE? It's labeled D34 but I have 2 D35 tips. Which probably means someone out there is getting 2 drivers side tips.

Thank you, I received the correct tip on Saturday and dropped it off at the shop this morning.
Thanks for getting that to me quickly!

Nice and thank you. I am going non NPP on my second C8 because NPP wasn't loud enough. The labor on HFC on HTC is expensive and the tips I prefer figure the track exhaust will give me exactly what I want. Had HFC on previous C8 HTC and had intermittent CEL that was annoying but sounded great.

You are welcome, the only thing I don't like is the AFM is still going into V4 mode at times. I drive in Sport mode everywhere but when just cruising at a constant speed it kicks into V4 mode and you can hear it drop.

Use track instead for exhaust and you won't have that problem. In track mode, AFM doesn't engage I believe.

I had the same problem! I ordered a C8 AWE exhaust system and one of the mufflers was missing. I was pretty disappointed because it took me two months to get an installation appointment at a reputable shop. I sent it back and ordered the Paragon Performance Touring Exhaust which actually is a much better product. Better welds and overall quality and sounds awesome!

AWE made the situation right for me, I had the track exhaust on my C7 and loved it, so I went with them again on the C8. I am very happy with the sound quality.

I just ordered the AWE track exhaust for my 22 HTC. I know you can avoid cylinder deactivation by either driving in Track mode or going into manual mode.

How are you guys liking the track system? Mine is going on next week. Any codes with the track system?

Just Installed my AWE Track exhaust. It's LOUD! Sounds like American muscle. Love it. Not for the faint of heart. No problem listening to music or conversing. It is very well constructed and the tips are jewelry. No codes. Took 3 1/2 hours to install.
