    Greetings F56 fans!

    Helix is proud to stock the new AWE Tuning F56 Touring exhaust. We were involved in evaluating this great exhaust option for your F56S. It's a great option for the 3rd generation exhaust, featuring their sound cancelling silencers (what they call 180 Technology), there is a deep sporty tone, with no drone at any RPM.

    I really can't wait for some one to start tuning one of these. What it lakes in looks it may make up on power.

    Not sure if serious.

    But exhaust hanger.

    Also, top notch product. Glad I finally don't have to keep this a secret any longer - I've known about this product development for several months now.

    I was kinda figured as much... but I couldn't fathom that those meticulous krauts would hang an exhaust with such a cantilevered set-up.

    This is why there's a long hanger:

    It's to counterbalance large box on the right of the muffler.... ie: Ballast...

    Without large stock muffler.... equilibrium will be off....

    Replacing the OEM muffler will cause a string of events to occur...

    Coilovers will be required for corner balancing...

    Beefier sway bars... to control sway.... because coilovers... equals faster in corners...

    Will require high performance brake pads because higher corner speed...

    Will require HP SS braided brake lines.... In red color... Fastest color...

    New wider rims err... Wheels in order to mount racin tars....

    Rim studs.... Because better than errr wheel bolts...

    Need racin helmet because banging head on door in turns...

    Smaller diameter steering rim with yellow centering band... Racekor now...

    Slippery slope.... All down hill...:ihih:
