Debating on which exhaust
 

Hi new to the forum, but I have a 2013 whiteout FRS that I absolutely love, just wished it had a little more grunt and power to it. So I was thinking about changing out the exhaust, which would most likely be a catback system. I was wondering if anyone out there has had experience with Greddy and or Flowmaster in terms of performance. Any help would be appreciated.

Flowmaster is gonna be your general mass produced exhaust, similar to borla. Greddy is Greddy, standard JDM stuff.

In terms of performance, you're not going to notice much of anything with a catback. Period. Your biggest performance gains are going to be from replacing the header and over/frontpipe.

As far as headers that totally comes to personal preference...UEL vs EL. UEL will give you more of a rumble, EL will be smooth.
*EL headers will generally also give much better performance. If you're planning on going forced induction down the line, (turbo), fa20club and P&L both make modular headers which can be converted to turbo manifolds for their respective turbo kits down the line.

Nameless, thank me later

I like the nameless as well, or the invidia N1

try to attend Car Meet up... and asked around. Specially listen to their installed exhaust... Then decide which one do you buy... :-)

I have the Invidia N1, and I fully intend on going full Nameless once their header comes out. In other words, I agree!

You can't go wrong with Nameless or Perrin. I have the Perrin(with Motiv frontpipe) and it is pretty quiet, but that means you can add other parts without the car getting obnoxious.

Also catbacks don't do much in the way of power, you probably want more like headers, overpipe, frontpipe

I love my Perrin headerback, but I'll give the nod to Nameless too. Nameless downpipe costs a good bit less than seperate front and over pipes.

I have the EVS tuning catback/test pipe and really like it. Sounds like a mix between an s2000 and wrx. The single exit isn't for a lot of people though.

I have a Greddy Evo 3 and a Motiv Concepts Test pipe. I won't lie IT IS LOUD as Hell unless you put the silencers in. They are both for sale at a greatly reduced price. I don't have my car anymore.

Motiv Concepts Test Pipe

I am also going to jump on the Perrin bandwagon. I have a soft spot for their exhaust on these cars;)

I'm on the Perrin wagon as well. I love my resonated headerback system.

Just got my Perrin headerback installed yesterday. Cold start it's loud, but then it turns into a nice mean rumble.

We carry a ton of exhausts, most of the ones that are posted up above including but not limited to Perrin, ARK Performance, Flowmaster, Borla, HKS, Greddy, Invidia and more. Everybody has their own taste on what exhaust to pick, so I would suggest going to a car meet, listen to other cars in person, and listen to them on youtube and see what exhaust sounds the best to YOU, not just based on what everybody else buys :)

Nameless everthing... It's simple. Just don't buy anything else for your exhaust that Nameless ok?

:party0030:

You cant go wrong with the Invidia N1 exhaust. I have it and am in love. if you really want to get the "GROWL" out look towards the Rev Works UEL header system. good luck!

SRT HEADER BACK.
I had to wait 3 months till i received it after full payment up front.
i also have a small exhaust leak.

but dear god... that sound....

Interesting. No love for Tomei or Milltek yet?

Debating on which exhaust
 

I'm actually in the market as well, I'm the type that likes the porsche/exotic sound vs the hardcore subie rumble or the deep growl. I don't want something that's crazy loud, just more howl and a bit more presence than stock. It gets complicated to me because you have to consider the interaction of all the components, header, op, dp, muffler. For just a header back, I think I like the borla, but it's also hard to tell from youtube vids. I also think i like the srt tone, kind of ferrari-esque, but seems a bit loud. Any starter recommendations appreciated!

If you dont plan on doing headers and everything else and want just a catback

Perrin Non-Resonated is the way to go.

I love mine. I still might do headers but will have to see what Nameless comes out with before I decide.

Ark

I have ark grip with resonated test pipe and a motiv overpipe. I can't recommend this combo enough! Nice throaty rips but then silent for highway cruising. If you like an exhaust that will open up but go away when you're just trundling along, this is the one.

Got an ARK Grip recently and LOVE it. Great for DD as there is zero drone and really makes some awesome noise when you get on it.

If you want refined exotic rather than Subie rumble, you don't want a Borla UEL header. You want equal length.

Does anyone have a custom setup with part numbers and videos?

example:[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYi-4wR9tdw"]2013 Scion FR-S Custom 3" MagnaFlow Catback Dual Exhaust ( Subaru BRZ ) - YouTube[/ame]

He says the cabin drone is loud but it really doesn't seem that loud at all.
I'm about to test my luck with 2x 12616 magnaflow mufflers on a 2.5 pipe with the stock resonator. Thoughts?

Yah I understand I don't want any UEL headers - I was referring to the borla cat back. So many systems and combinations out there - was listening to a clip of the Greddy evo 3 and I liked how refined it sounded.
