Greddy doesn't even compare in quality to the Nameless system. You can listen to the clips on the exhaust thread or on youtube.

That was the one I was looking at too.... Before I heard the nameless sound clips. Then Greddy went out the window.

I've researched this exhaust just about as much as @Sportsguy83 and I'm telling you this is the exhaust to get. If you constantly second guess it, you'll be looking at exhaust forever as more and more companies continue to release exhausts. Pick one that is light, and sounds awesome, and if you like aesthetics, then Nameless fits that category. The front part of the exhaust is where you need to be picky. A good header, a good front pipe/op for gains. If all you're doing is an axleback or catback, the Nameless system will more than exceed your expectations.

I suggest giving Jason or Ryan a call at the shop. Your decision will be easy from there.

About the shipping charge, it probably is fine and it's correct on the website but it has happened to me that I've quoted a shipping price from a website and then the final order numbers come in and its different.
Back to this... Lol
He asked if I would be doing anything else to my car and I said no, axleback only, so he said I should go with the 2.5. But what difference would it make if I went with the 3"?? I would think his suggestion would have been the other way around.. Since I'm not gonna do anything else, go with the 3" (??)

3" would be overkill on this car in stock form. Maybe if you were planning on going with a turbo kit down the line but the 2.5" will suit your needs from stock and all the way uo to an AVO turbo kit/Innovate twin screw for forced induction.

Jimbo is correct. If you are only doing Axleback, stay with 2.5" This is one of the rare cases in which "bigger isn't better".

Going 3" while keeping everything else stock is super overkill, and it might even hamper performance slighty as you will be loosing some backpressure compared to the 2.5". It is not going to be a big deal, or really make much difference.

Let's put it this way, the 2.5 will be a better fit.

3" doesn't matter near as much on the Axleback portion, but the 2.5" Axleback is lighter than the 3" by about 5 lbs or so. Either way, you can't go wrong, but if you're only getting the Axleback, might want to go 2.5". I prefer the 3" system because I like loud for one, but if I did end up with a 3" DP/OP which possibly not due to loudness and I want a header, I'll probably go with the 2.5" OP/DP.

Contact them and try to get a groupbuy together for forum members.

They have done it before. Previously, 10+ buyers and you got a $50 discount.

If you get the discount on the black one, I'll be a little jelly, since I've already ordered one, but at this point, all I want to see is the delivery man pull up in my driveway with a big nameless box.

It kind of was initially, but as soon as I got on the phone and asked directly to Jason for the first time, it was approved in minutes. Not saying it will work or that they will even say yes..... What I'm saying is try it, there's nothing to loose.
