Shout out to my friend JR (86_ZN6) and Pete from WORKS for making this exhaust for me! Making it happen this Christmas just states that Pete is a customer dedicated shop owner.

When I met w/ JR to check and hear the catback exhaust (I'm looking for a quality catback exhaust that produces power, looks good, sounds about right, no drone, not loud in the cabin, right price and you get what you pay for) I was sold and told JR to ask Pete if i can have one just in time for Christmas. Then, next thing you know I received a text message that the exhaust is ready and waiting for me. (will not be out yet until they finalize everything) Group buy is coming out soon! Even just in the installation of this product he's there to check on things making sure that everything is in high quality top shape. The service is top notch! Awesome owner! Will try to do a review (get it in a dyno) and more pics after the holidays. More of what went down to this exhaust in the next update. One word Awesomeness!!
I have been meaning to come hang out with you guys so I could listen to it in person. Work has just been to nuts for us. my pop and i are hopefully going out to works in a couple of weeks to get a tune flashed on his 370z and look into one for the FRS.

Too windy where I live for a driveby. I did make a video inside the cabin but it's deceptively quiet and not a good example. It sounds great, however, it is by no means a quiet exhaust if that's what you are looking for. My only "sound obstacle" is my wife and she loves it the way it is so - mission accomplished!

thanks for the video. if you could do another one outdoors though sometime, i think that would be more accurate. the garage amplifies the sound quite a bit. also, just to confirm, both of you have the AB-R? not the AB-M, right? comments on drone?

Yeah I actually have a video outside taking off and it sounds great. Only problem is i'm a dumbass and didn't cover up the plate. Motivation to go out and repeat the process while concealing my license plate...on a scale of 1 to 10...a strong 4 at the moment.

ah man. here's looking forward to you getting motivation! that, a drive by and an in-cabin would be everything needed for someone to make a decision on whether or not to get an exhaust.

Do you have an exhaust leak? Sounds like you have a blown gasket or fitment issue.

I really like that sound! Not loud, but has a nice tone to it. Plus the price is right! Also it saves 10 LBs weight wise on the car
