Nameless Performance Track Pipe Installed

Impressions:
  • Great sound, positive comments from everyone. A low pitch quality sounding note. Suprising for something so simple.
  • On the road, drone between 2k and 2.7k (was expecting this, it is a straight pipe afterall)
  • At our local SCCA event the pipe measured 81-83db. The loudest STR S2000's measure 95db for reference. This exhaust is not loud by any reasonable measure.
  • Can't comment on performance as my butt dyno is out of calibration, but it sure drops a good bit of weight.
  • Took about 10 minutes to install (just ran it up on the alignment rack )

Way louder than stock, way quieter than a truly loud exhaust. It's perfect for track/autox and livable for DDing if you don't feel like swapping the stock one back on during the week.

Looks goods, certainly a great choice for stock class.

Given your readings, it sounds like it would be over the sound requirements if it was used with a header and high flow cats.

I will probably end up with their axleback for daily driving but wanted to pick up a straight pipe for larger events since its $99... glad to know it sounds decent.

On second glance what is the rest of the exhaust. If its the stock one it almost looks too shiny but maybe it's the camera.

Yes that's stock. The track pipe is axle back.

The stock midpipe has a resonator.

IIRC Nameless stated their track/test pipe saved 26lbs. I figure that because of extra tubing and some hangers, that doing something similar to what I did is probably a weight savings of 20-23lbs. As for any power gains, marginal @ best, but I am getting 32-33mpg @ 80mph with the a/c on and 35-36mpg @ 75mph with the a/c off... with the 6MT.

I only have my spare/jack/tow hook/screwdriver in the car when I'm going out of town. With the weight loss of the trunk items and the muffler you can notice it's a bit more nimble.

BTW I only posted my videos because the sound of what I have should be similar to the Nameless track/test pipe. It's not really loud @ all. I was surprised with how "deep" the sound is especially @ idle. If you're considering it, get a (2) 14mm wrenches/sockets and unbolt the exhaust @ the 2 bolt flange where the stock muffler connects and start/rev the car.

Thanks for the reviews/impressions of the muffler delete pipes. I have one on order from Nameless for my BRZ, and I was hoping it would be here for this weekend's autocross, but still no shipping confirmation, so I'm not holding my breath.

One thing to note, it does stick out of the back a couple inches. Already burned myself on it once.

I'm injury prone I guess.

Hey! Thanks for the review and details including video. We have been so swamped lately with a lot of development work on the other side of the fence (STi Rotated Turbo Kit, etc) but we do have some good news on further development: We bought a 2013 FRS that should be in any day. Raven Black, will be getting a full vinyl wrap most likely from Guardline in Tacoma, WA. Thinking about an F35 Joint Strike Fighter look. Two tone flat grey/black w/ a ghosted logo down the side and maybe some wild tail end look similar to the Navy F35's:



As soon as it comes in, our development schedule will be back on track and we'll be building like crazy. Thinking about getting the quad tip valence garnish from TRD and getting that quad tip design finalized as well.

We do have plans to take this muffler delete and give some options to it - add a double wall exhaust tip, maybe throw a little canister muffler into it as well. Not as light, but still a LOT lighter than the factory muffler. Let us know if you're interested in something like that and we can dial it in for you.

Jason
