Best Exhaust for FR-S?
So I am in the market for an exhaust system. What are THE BEST options out there? I don't want to bust my ear drums with the drone when I ride with my windows up (mostly all the time they're up). Also I want a boxer engine sound, which I'll probably need an UEL Header. Weight doesn't matter much to me, power gains are appreciated greatly. GO!!

I dislike topics like these, i don't know your tone preference. If you want light weight, or most power gains.
It's like you asking me for music, i don't know what the fuck you like. Here's some Bud Powell though. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRKIDcjOZ-M"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRKIDcjOZ-M[/ame]

Going off from what i've heard in real life, Borla sounds proper boxer with UEL.

This is the best axle back exhaust for the FR-S. http://shop.namelessperformance.com/...eback-exhaust/ Why do I say that? ...... because it's the one I chose ..... Just pick a pipe size (I recommend 2.5" - if no other exhaust/power mods), with the 5" mufflers (if you want to hear yourself think inside your closed up car). humfrz - |

Engine, Exhaust, Transmission section i like the q300 because you can go uel headers and it will not be too loud nameless sounds good etc, maybe go to some car meets and check out other peoples setup

You'll want full muffler instead of dual canisters.
So thats: (in order of power gain) Perrin Resonated cb HKS Legamax cb Greddy SP ab As for UEL: FT 86 SpeedFactory seems like the way to go for power but i haven't looked at many other options as I'm not looking at changing out headers |

Invidia N1 with Invidia N1 downpipe is a good combo.
But yeah I think Borla UEL are one of the best headers to get that nice boxer rumble. They do have a reputation for some headers having bad fitment but all of my friends did not have that problem at all.

I got some really good gains from my dual can m7 setup!
Of all exhaust I have heard I'm partial too: tomei, auto factory, fujitsubo, kakimoto regu r, and of course m7. These I judged on sound alone from online vids mainly as there only a few modified twins I'm aware of in my neck of the woods. Go to some meets listen to people's cars! Oh there's not much drone at all bit it can be loud. I got 8whp and 10wtq on my stock at 13 frs with that upgrade Last edited by Kakawate; 02-27-2014 at 02:32 PM. |

Perrin headerback sounds great. 2.5' all the way down. No drone. Loud when you want it to be. Quiet when cruising.

Here is what I have installed right now. Definitely more rumble than the Greddy Cs-Gts v2
