AWE Definitely has better looking tips and sounds a bit softer/deeper tone at startup. They are very similar to my ears but AWE looks sick with the larger tips.
Who wants softer - maybe GrandMa’ not me …


The first aftermarket exhaust systems for the Ford Explorer ST were released shortly after the vehicle's debut, with
Thermal R&D and Borla being among the very first to offer cat-back options. Borla slightly behind Thermal on debut dates. Effectively making Thermal the “King” of ST exhausts

Softer as in not so raspy but to each his own. Not trying to sway you one way or the other because you clearly have your mind made up just saying some people like one and others like the other.
