EverydayDriver Series on Youtube

They review a lot of cars and have featured the FR-S on their channel more than a few times. didn't see a post about it so I thought I would start one and initiate some discussion of what their thoughts are about the car.

Here's their latest video that talks about the torque dip and what swapping out the exhaust does for the car.

Enjoy.

These guys make really good and thorough review videos. Definitely a bonus once they picked up an FR-S to do a long-term review on.

I really like their video reviews. Their podcast isn't too bad either.

The podcasts are great companions on boring commutes.
I find they strike the right balance between hating and loving the car - they aren't afraid to point out where it could've been better, but are also quick to recognize the strengths.

Neither fanboy nor hater be.

My car has been stock for 2 years. I think this video convinced me to upgrade.

@FT-86 SpeedFactory, get these boys an OFT and a E85 tune stat! Then they'll feel what a proper flat torque curve is like!

Anyone else catch the subtle jab at the Phantom ESC at the end? :-)

Hey,I'm curious. Does that exhaust they put on sound as obnoxious in person as it does in the video?

I just installed the same catback (with stock header and front pipe) as these guys did and I'm loving it. Although I wish it sounded just a little, tiny bit deeper...but I'm happy with it.
@Th3rdSun It's not too bad...when it gets to higher RPMs, it gets a little annoying. And yes, it really does sound like that in person.


Also, these guys are awesome. I like their reviews.

The Everyday Driver guys posted a video comparing their catted UEL + OFT FR-S against a supercharged monogram.
