GReddy EVO GT Cat-back Exhaust Review - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

mikool · 08-13-2015, 10:07 PM

Since there is no review (afaik from using the search tool) I will be giving some personal insight on this exhaust system.

First and for most, This has a very nice deep tone with it's 3" piping and 4.5" tips. Not overly loud, and doesn't drone at cruising speed. Cold start was quieter than I originally thought it would have sounded and after it has warmed up it's a very subtle warm lion purr. When WOT it's like stepping on previously mentioned lion right on the nose and it wanting to attack (sums up how it sounds pretty accurately if I do say so myself). Installation was very easy, took about an hour to put in as it was my very first time swapping a cat-back. Removing the OEM cat-back actually took the longest due to the hangars being really hard to remove from rubber mountings (took about 45mins). Installing the EVO GT was simple lego action and hangars slipped right in the rubber mounting. One other thing to note, probably mandatory to have a helper with you as some places are hard to reach while holding up the exhaust and trying to bolt/unbolt here and there.

**NOTE** This is with OEM headers/op/fp. Will be ordering a UEL-Header probably next month so stay tuned if you are interested.
**NOTE2** Installed a Gruppe-S UEL catless header, review will be in another thread and will be edited into this. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=93549

Sound clips/installation of this system can be found here (not done by me):

thank you for the pics! I was too excited when I got mine (almost 3 month wait) that I didn't get to take the pics of the parts.

Are you lowered? Can you take a low shot from the rear? Looks like you lose some ground clearance with this exhaust

No I am not lowered, and yes you do lose 1.5" or so ground clearance with these. I will take a pic when I can sometime today and update on here.

Any installed pictures from behind? lower and from standing behind if possible
