cool box.

Lol the packaging is pretty high quality to be honest.

Where did ya get it from? How much??

damn you brianlo622! How can you post a BOX! LoL. That's the most epic troll tease thing to do! OPEN THE BOX! LoL. I'm always excited to see quad tips!

Got it from Luis from Carson Toyota. It was $1645 before tax. (Yes, it is a lot to pay for for an axle back exhaust hehe)

Cant resist.. it will look nice :)

Do you need a new diffuser too? Wow, thats a lot of coin for sure.

7% of the total price of the car! :eyebulge:

Hey Brian, let me help you out here...

BASTARDS! :(

Very nice, I am jealous. You can get the garnish to cover the cutouts needed to make them fit. Anyone have any idea if these will be more easily available in the US anytime soon. I have to decide on a catback by January and was hoping this would be more affordable and available by then. Be sure to post a video with sound clip once you have these on.

Yes, you need new rear exhaust area diffuser. That dual tips won't fit

Can't wait to see how it'll come out! ...waiting for more photos :)

Thanks! Will do about the video.

Oh, no garnish needed.. I have this :)

damn thats a price of a whole header back!

congrat! I cant afford that much just for an axle back exhaust :(

I know everyone is talking about price...but 20 years from now an FRS with TRD parts will be in a class by themselves.

Think about finding an AE86 with TRD parts? Or a 91 Civic with Mugen parts? Pure gold. Now it was also harder to get those parts back then, but now money is that divider not availability.

but 20 years from now you wont be allowed to drive the FRS anymore. lol! :bonk:

Finally somebody who understands what I am trying to accomplish :)

A little addition though.. these has to be JDM TRD parts, not USA TRD parts hehe :)

Brian

Here is a before after picture..

quite striking I must say :)

:drool:

ouch thats a steep price... but... i gots to have... the TRD offered up here has ugly tips, and I'd prefer quad tips.

Its either that or the borla..

lol the TRD USA exhaust probably makes more hp than the JDM TRD exhaust.. the JDM one is only axleback with no midpipe upgrade :)

But yes, I didn't buy this strictly for hp increase hehe.. the bodykit and the exhaust needs to work with each other imo.

No idea what it sounds like yet.. that installed pic was sent by the person who installed it while I am at work.. I'll post some videos when I get her back.

congratss! looking good. i really need to see this in person lol. but ddnt expect the jdm trd exhaust is just an axleback with that price :eyebulge:

All Toyota dealerships can get the exhaust now

wow money bags dude! Might as well of just got a high end car!

Are you sure it's not the USDM trd exhaust they can get? (Different from the version r high flow JDM)

Lol modding is a hobby.. If I got a lets say 1m or m3 I would want to put a bunch of Hamann or AC parts on it.. Or a Porsche with techart or RUF parts which is way out of what I could afford :)

Following a factory tuning program is what I have always wanted to do :)

I could be wrong about the 4 tip but I know the dealerships can get a TRD exhaust now. I would have to check when I get back to work

Thanks.

Here is the part number:

I was gonna ask if you overnighted the parts from Japan, but then I saw you got it from the states. :)

LOL

I know more than 1 local FR-S owner which is going for an all-out TRD build that might want this even at the $1695+ price. It may not seem valid to you, but to someone who is going for a particular look or theme to their car, this might make sense to them if they have money to burn. It will probably sound good when paired with a midpipe and other exhaust parts. (TBH, kind of poor taste to call someone out for being able to afford really nice mods like a high end xleback, but I respect your opinion.)

That said, I went with the SRT/Nameless for my BRZ and ended up getting a headerback exhaust for well under that price.

I didn't like the look of quad exhausts for this car until I saw that TRD, though...needs bigger tips imo :D

Yo Brian! How are you liking your exhaust? I remember you saying you were gonna get the exhaust back in November, but I didn't see an update on your thread "I'm getting my trd kit installed!" Then I found this lol. Anyways, it looks great man, keep up the good work! Also, have you justified dropping 10k on those brakes yet?? Hahah kidding.:lol:

Thanks! Loving the exhaust so far.. definitely not a power adder but it sounds awesome under load.. not raspy at all and it just looks so complete with the TRD rear apron hehe.

Regarding the TRD brakes.. hehe I think both Carson and Nigel list them at closer to 11k :( I have been following an Austrailian/New Zealand thread and they can get the brakes for 8.5k.. If I can save that much I'll consider it, but if not I guess I will just have to do without them :)

The next few items I am putting on my car wont be TRD at all.. they will mainly be suspension and wheels and my sound system.. after all that and when more funds clear up, I will get the small items such as the strut bar, the oil/gas caps, the shift knob, etc etc :) Stay tuned!

Brian

Honestly, that TRD rear bumper w/ the Five:AD kit and have Nameless build a custom QuadTipped axelback exhaust using the what... 4" tips? that would be complete sex!

Also Brian, where did you get the rear bumper? did it come with the exhaust? I am assuming it was purchased seperate.

That is a genuine TRD rear apron. It attaches to the stock bumper but requires enlarging the exhaust openings :)

alright, thanks :)

one of very few or if any guys i found on here with the trd exhaust. think you can post sound clips? it'd help with my purchasing decisions. thanks

Is the piping any larger in dia than the stock muffler?

any gains on this exhaust? how about sound? i cant seem to find a good video of sound

I'll try to take some sound clips tonight, but it is very mellow. Afterall, it is just an axleback =)
