Mature Sounding Exhaust
 

what would be a good option for a more mature sounding car but subtle and wouldnt draw too much attention. everything is stock right now and wont be going FI (unless i win the lottery lol) but something needs to change about the exhasut. should i get a catback? a new header and keep everything stock? muffler delete? muffler delete and header? i dont know ahhhh. i wanna get the best bang for my buck and a make the car sound like it looks without being obnoxius and being "that guy". :thanks:

Just looking for sound then a catback is the way to go.
There are many options for a budget from "oh that is a reasonable price" to "HOLYFUCKINGCRAPSONOFA BITCHDAMN how much?"
I love the TRD which is a bit at the upper end of the scale in price but has a nice deep tone and zero rasp.


Check your local for sale section and you may pick something up used.
Or just wait for Cole to change his again and get it really cheap.

Header and stock catback FOR SURE.

the TRD would be nice but i feel for the price it may be too much :iono: do aftermarket catbacks weigh less or genereally the same weight as stock? does your TRD hang low or is it not super noticable when looking from the back

do you have this setup? or what header do you have or would you reccomend?

What about the Nameless Performance axelback with 5" mufflers?

I get compliments from my over 30 soccer team on my setup. PTuning EL header, JDL ultra quiet catted, perrin 2.5" resonated

Although you don't HAVE to have a tune with a header it is usually a good idea since you start to mess with air flow. Not needed if just looking for a new sound.


It is made for the car so fits very well. Is costly new though.


That would be what I would probably go with if I didn't have the TRD

Q300 is a nice subtle setup. I run that with my Catless Ace 350 header and it is very tame unless you ask it to do other wise.

Greddy Supreme SP catback

TRD owner here. It sounds great, nice low tone. BUT it drones like a mofo on the highway at 3k RPM.

On the lesser expensive end ($500-$600) I am still recommending for dual exit, the MXP Comp RS (low tone (deeper than even the TRD, quiet when you want it to be, loud when you stand on it) With Ti tips now available if you want to dress it up. For single exit the Tanabe Concept-G (much quieter than most single exit CBE, still but saves a ton of weight over stock and aftermarket dual exit CBEs).

LOL
The answers to this question always end up being more confusing than the question warrants.
There are several thousand possible combinations and we usually hear about most of them.


People are lining up to give their preferences.

what about inlet size? im not familiar with it all lol

i should have mentioned i am also looking to go for a quad setup, not sure if this is gonna change the sound or anything but from my understanding you can just take the quad tips to an exhaust shop to weld them on like new? or get them doing a custom tip? and i do wanna OFT tune it as well

lol i knew it was gonna happen and not looking for anyone to mnake my choice, just wanting to see options with people have and gain some knowledge :party0030:

To each our own. Personally I think the quad tip in our openings especially if you have the wind-age tray (under bumper spoiler w.e you wanna call it) its just to much.

you mean axle back

Unless you're going to have the exhaust shop fab tiny exhaust tips, you're going to have to cut your rear plastic bumper trim to make room for the tips. The tips themselves will add cost ($50-$200ea if not already on the exhaust.) You're probably going to want to add trim to clean up the look of the rear (another $175ish). Mentioning all this because costs can add up quick on a project like this.

If you're going quad tip, I'd recommend the hks legamax sport, but it's quite expensive. So possibly find a shop to change the tips of another exhaust too.

Really restricts your choices. Also need to chop up the diffuser. Zero benefit other than a certain look.

Either or.

i thought about just getting a quad exhasut from the start cause i saw this https://www.ft86motorsports.com/mxp-...-fr-s-brz.html but yes im looking for either a TRD rear or ill get the exhaust trims

this is what made me want the quad exhaust with trim setup

This is my setup as well and I get a lot of compliments. It can be a bit loud if you're all out, but if you drive normally it's quite quiet at idle and does not drone at highway speeds.

I recommend if you just want a CBE, go for the Perrin resonated cat back exhaust.

You will need to take a good hard look at your budget if you want to start buying TRD body parts.

well right now i have this plan in my head where anything is possible lol:bonk:

And anything is!

I had the Perrin 2.5 resonated on my BRZ... Wife loved it, friends loved it, I loved it. I felt it provided what the car should have had straight up from Subaru. If I ever bought another 86 I'd buy it again no question.

love this exhaust. nice low, growly tone that goes well with the boxer. not very raspy and hardly drones on the freeway (i dont hear anything when i am in cruise control). when paired with an intake it is a perfect sound IMO.

The more power your exhaust makes, the less mature it sounds in my experience. at least with this car.

I've heard that exhaust in person, it sounds really nice. They also have lifetime warranty on it, and we drive on salt all winter, that thing is not gonna rust away. They usually have sales on black friday and such.

Take a look at my recent thread, also a lot of thoughts/opinions and videos. My final setup is very mature....as would be just doing a cat-back.

I should've went with mxp instead of a knock off n1 style exhaust, lesson definitely learned. I think for the time being I'll go back to stock cat back and keep my catless setup. Hopefully that chills out most of the rasp and drone.

I have the HKS Legamax quad and love it. Pretty quiet until I get above 4-5k RPM.

But like others said, it's pretty expensive. Around $1600 new.

TRD Exhaust. Well made easy to install, lifetime warranty even when bought used.

The stock exhaust does not handle the volume of air well that a catless setup will feed it. It is EXTREMELY raspy.

If you want sound and are going to do an OFT tune, headers on the stock front pipe and catback is a decent option. Changing the catback after this stage is a risky decision in the noise section if not chosen carefully. Getting a catback just for sound is a good place to start, but if headers are anywhere in your future then I suggest getting an exhaust you think is quieter on a stock setup than what you'd prefer. You have a better chance of not hating it when you get different headers.

ARK DTS is an excellent way to go (disclaimer: I have it). I've heard Corsa is good as well. Both are nice and throaty. Both are more noticeable than stock/TRD, yet both aren't drony like an N1. If I didn't come across the ARK I would have gone with Corsa as they both sound the same through the internet.

imo if you want "mature" then just keep it stock. So long as you aren't waking people up at unreasonable hours then who gives a fuck what anyone else thinks, as a mature person takes into consideration others' well being

The Corsa sounds good with stock headers and either stock front pipe or the JDL Ultra Quiet front pipe. The Corsa with aftermarket headers and the JDL Ultra Quiet front pipe was obnoxiously loud.

Everyone will most likely just comment what they own and justify why they bought it or why its the "best". Just research the reputable companies, look for sound clips on YouTube, and be a big boy and make a decision. Some reputable companies are Ace, Nameless, Dezod, MXP, Greddy, HKS, etc just to name a few.

Did you delete the cats? Sounds like you did cause that'll do it. Cats are great for baffling sound and reducing polution
