Zeta Performance Catback Review and Thoughts

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QRerG47Mkc"]Scion FR-S Zeta Performance catback - YouTube[/ame]

Don't mind the crappy beginning - didn't feel like editting.

I had a shop install it and it took ~30 minutes. The guy who did the install said it was really easy. I was watching as well and everything bolted up without issues. I still need to better align the rears but I've been lazy. But other than that the fitment is on point.

If you want to be extra loud, this isn't the catback for you. This is a more subtle setup, but cars around you will definitely still be able to hear you.

When cruising there is no drone at ~65. You can still hear the exhaust but it's a faint deep tone but not annoying. Crusing at 75+ there is a slight done but not unbearable. Nobody should have issues DD'ing this exhaust.

At idle the car sounds pretty much stock. Once you start going WOT is when the exhaust really shines. I'll try to get more videos up soon.

For the money you can't go wrong. The mufflers are beautiful, welds are well done, and everything sounds great

Nah, it's for track days. More cosmetic than anything though.

It sometimes depends on the weather. When it is cold, you will notice the exhaust note more.

The finish quality is pretty good.
