Howdy,

Recently acquired the AWE 0FG Catback Exhaust in a trade and have been pretty happy with it. It definitely increases cabin noise a good bit. Safe to say some of the significant others out there may not be too thrilled.

Anyways, was out having a bit of fun at Wolf Den Run State Park and figured I'd share the video for those who would like to hear. gave her the beans towards the end.

Cool.
I'm headed to Wolf Den Run tomorrow morning.
What trail is that big mud hole on?
My plan is to hit the North Hill Area first and take 1101 Blue to 1103 Black and then swing around to 1102 Blue and then down to the Potomac River area. I plan to do the onX 7 Blacks (2301, etc) and stop to admire the onX 8s and decide if I should try.
First time there so looking for recommendations and advice. Thanks!

Looks like a fun time for sure! Any noticeable gains with the new exhaust?
Good question, honestly hard to tell. I took off my RTT the same time I put it on so the comparison isn't necessarily in a vacuum. It felt much quicker after but I would attribute the majority of that to the tent.

But, paired with my tune, intake, and snorkel I'd imagine better throttle response, stronger pull up top, more turbo/exhaust character.

You will have a blast. The mud is the Huckleberry section. This is trail 0204, or better known locally as the gallows. The red is where this was shot. The purple is probably the toughest area just in terms of high centering and being at the mercy of slipping into ruts if it rained recently. I got stuck in the purple, or so i thought, and was able to back out and re-line but it took 20 mins. There's two paths, I got through on the left and had issues on the right. Or if you are not worried about your paint you can fully drive around through the forest.

For north hill and Potomac area I didn't have any trouble besides pinstriping and banging my skids/sliders. There's a couple tight areas where if you lose traction on a rock your sliding into a tree.

The slag pile is really fun to test yourself in the Potomac region. If you have a front camera it makes it significantly easier.

My advice is just take it slow or know when to put your pride aside especially if you are headed there alone. If I was closer than 3 hours I would join you.

Best of luck, you won't regret the trip!

Extremely helpful. I had not included Huckleberry in my plan because neither onX or Trailsoffroad has any reviews of that section and I was thinking it was mostly for ATVs & Dirt bikes, but I see now that about half the trails are full-width.
For tomorrow, I'm going to stick with my plan and checkout the blacks but if there is time maybe head to Huckleberry late in the day. And I do plan to check out the slag pile after 2301 loop.
Thanks!!
