Nameless 2.5" Single Exit Muffled Track Pipe - Who Has It?
 

Can't seem to find any reviews/installed pictures of this unit. More specifically with the 4"/5" muffler and 4" tip.

So who has one?

I wish. I got their 2.5 back when a tip wasn't an option. I asked if they would do a tip and they acquiesced, but I got the feeling they thought I was crazy. Then the tip became an option (they liked it too). Now that I'm getting the header I'm pretty damn sure the track pipe will be too loud... This may do the trick if so. I may just slap my stock axle back on for dd and track pipe for track/autoX. I'm eager to hear this muffled track pipe.

I was pretty eager on getting my hands on their plain track pipe too, really glad I held out. It's winter here anyways so I'm not in that much of a rush.

I really just want to see how this thing looks in both 3.5" and 4" tips. I like the fact that they added the muffler as well. Like you said, with a header, over pipe, and mid pipe combo, a straight through track pipe would be deafening as a DD.

There's some positive reviews on their website....

Thanks tips. But if you bothered to read as much, those reviews are old and most likely from when it wasn't offered with a muffler and tip.

Cute... "nyan!" >O.O<

I bet it doesn't change much over the standard track pipe. that muffler can't be but 5" long...a standard muffler needs to be at least like 14" (various other muffler reviews support this) to be truly effective.

I really like that...

@Jason@Nameless, any video or sound clips?

Their catback mufflers are 8 by 5 and they work fine.

Anyone have a part number for a muffler like this? I'll just weld 1 into my catless front pipe before I get a catback like I was going to do anyway and see if it does anything

Damn, I just sold mine (5" muffler w/ 4" tip), wish I got sound clips from it before I sold it. But I was running it up until right when I sold it and I loved the sound. Had a mean sound to it like a traditional muffler delete, but it was definitely quieter and reduced a lot of the drone.

I originally ordered one when I put my Revworks UEL headers on, hoping it would reduce the drone but retain that boxer rumble, compared to the traditional muffler delete that was just too loud and droney with headers. It did reduce the noise somewhat, but not enough for it to be the perfect solution.

Maybe the guy who bought it from me can chime in @cdo221

It'd be nice if there was the option of including a turndown (either permanent or perhaps removable slip fit with spring retainers)

No part number, we manufacture those little beauties 100% here in house. While they are small, they are quite capable of doing heavy lifting in the exhaust. Obviously, this is still a track pipe, so it will be louder than a more traditional option, but it will be much different than a standard track pipe.

We could do one with a turndown fairly easily. Just weld a 90 degree elbow on to the end of a track pipe is the quick and dirty version.

I bought one just like this (Nameless Track Pipe w/ 5" Muffler) from @overlookedx

I was planning to throw it on this weekend and bring it to an exhaust shop to get a custom 2.5" midpipe built for it. Maybe I'll drive around with the OEM midpipe and commute with it for a week instead. I'll come back and give my impressions when I have a better ear for it/if there's any highway drone, etc.

Got a sound clip laying around?

awesome! i'll keep that in mind. where's my header!? ;)

This must have came out just recently, or not been in production until recently. Been waiting for something like this to replace my non-muffled track pipe. @Ryan@Nameless any 3" versions of this?

This looks great for a track day! What the cost on these?

$199 for the 4" tip with 4" muffler and $209 for the 4" tip with 5" muffler.

Just saw this muffled version on the Nameless site...thanks for the heads-up on the forum everyone. This, plus the exhaust hole delete from SpeedFactory and I have my exhaust.

Thank you Nameless for this...exactly what I was waiting for!

Anyone have any updates/vids/sound clips/thoughts?

I've had the stock exhaust, Works AB (resonated muffler delete, dual tip), and Borla catback on my car. I've sat in my friend's N1 w/o silencers as well. My thoughts will be based in comparison to those setups (all stock aside from the axleback or catback noted in each case). Been driving with the Nameless track pipe w/ 5" muffler + OEM everythign else for more than a week now.

Overall, I like the this Nameless a lot. It pretty much fell about in the middle of the pack for all the exhausts I've tried. It's not quiet but it's not obnoxiously loud either. Good amount of growl. Fit, finish, etc. all very good quality.

Volume - a few nothces quieter than the Works AB. Significantly quieter than the N1 w/o silencers. A notch louder than the Borla catback.

For reference, I sat in the drivers seat of the N1, revv'ed it to 5k RPM, and I felt like it was WAY overbearing. Too loud for me. I consider the Borla catback as probably the perfect volume for a DD. The Nameless is nice if you want some more sound and feel the Borla is too quiet. I don't think the Nameless is too loud for DD.

Pitch - Every single one of the setups above except the completely stock setup is is deeper than the Nameless. I miss the tone of the Borla. The Nameless isn't high pitched by any means, it's plenty deep especially compared to stock, but the Borla, N1, and Works AB are all deeper in tone to various degrees. I think a 2.5" resonated midpipe hooked up to the Nameless would deepen up the pitch to where I like it.

Drone - I'm gonna say little to no drone for the Nameless. The first 2 days of driving, I was deliberating trying to listen to drone at various RPMs with the music off. I felt like I MAYBE picked up a TINY bit of resonance in the cabin at 2400 RPM. After that, I just drove the car, I'm always playing music, and I notice zero drone. So zero drone for me, if you're super sensitive then maybe you'll hear something I don't. Most people probably won't hear anything.

Character - It's got plenty of aggressive growl. Not really rumble-y but it's definitely growly. The character of the Nameless exhaust note is pretty aggressive, more so than both the Borla and stock setups. IMO the Works AB had the best rumble/growl out of all the exhausts I've heard actually.

Final thoughts, I think this is a great option for someone looking to shed weight without the sound being annoying/overbearing like a muffler delete. However, I'm still undecided if I'm gonna stick with this or go back to my Borla. I like the deeper sound of the Borla, but the Nameless has better growl. The Borla exhaust note is too smooth. The Borla is pretty damn light for a dual tip anyway (28 lbs, only 2 lbs over the single exit V2 exhaust).

Gonna drive around with it bit more, maybe go to a custom shop and see how much a 2.5" resonated mid pipe would cost. The only thing is I'm afraid it's going to be too loud with a 2.5" midpipe.

Wow, amazing response! Thank you SO much for writing that up.

^^+1

Agreed, thanks for the write up...All but confirms my decision to pick one up here soon. I dont plan on upgrading the other parts of my exhaust for awhile anyways, so this should work nicely. Thanks again for the expansive review of your results.

In for video...I'm kind of interested

Veeeeery curious about this. It would be the perfect replacement for autocrossing and every day driving. It sounds like it's not too loud for a DD.

Is the 4" muffler louder than the 5"? I'm assuming so but does anyone know the difference?

About an inch! Want to see video for sure.

Just placed an order for the 5" version. Once installed, I'll take some video.

Want to order one too!!!! But want to see a video 1st. Video please!!!!!

I took some video of this with my phone but it doesn't sound close to I hear in-person so I never bothered posting it (it actually sounds amazingly deep and bassy in video, but I don't think it sounds as good in person when I'm driving it). Its different depending on what speakers/headphones I used too - I really don't think videos are accurate representations of exhaust sounds.

I tried to describe it as best I can in my previous post already. I personally think all videos don't accurately represent ANY exhaust.. that's just my view. I trust somebody's written description or my own ears in-person rather than an internet video. The quality of the mic used, the acoustics of the environment, post processing (whether you just used the video straight from the raw data), and most importantly, the end speaker/headphone being used all change how it sounds.

I think this is a must for single exit on this car.

Finally found a video!

Disclaimer: I have an AT, so my comments on drone, rpm, etc. may not be the same for MT users as the ratios are different.

I just bought one of these from a fellow member (14BRZ) who had the unmuffled version installed and ended up selling the unused muffled one he decided not to use. He was nice enough to throw it on for me when I picked it up so I could test it out on the way home (I also don't have a floor jack so I was probably going to kill myself putting it on).

It's definitely loud. A lot of people seem to suggest it's super fine for DD - I plan to DD it, but I have to say it's really up there with what I would consider the upper end of acceptable for not like making everyone stop what they're doing and figure out what the hell that noise is. Anything above 2500 turns heads real quick below about 4th/5th.

It sounds beautiful, and is very, very growly with a deep rumble. Sometimes it does get a little drone-y/resonate-y off of passing objects/large trucks in a not attractive way. The other issue is that it's a driver side single pipe, so you suffer the brunt of the drone/noise with the window up or down when it happens.

I noticed that in the higher gears (5/6), 2500RPM seemed to be the point that unleashed a reallllll harsh drone in the cabin. This only really happened with the windows up, the wind blasting noise even from a cracked window was enough to cut it down. But staying at around 75 in a pack of cars really started to grate on me and I honestly would have worn earplugs if I had them. I'm also not a super showy dude personally so while I want a great sounding exhaust that makes the car sound aggressive, I don't want one that everyone around me is forced to stare at because it sounds like a dumpster full of chainsaws. 2500RPM in 6th is that sound, at least in the cabin. Did not like that, but it's the only downside.

The good thing is that backing off the throttle silences this exhaust really quick outside of 2nd/3rd, so if it gets droney, unless I'm climbing a hill it's easy to fix by going a bit faster or slower and backing off. Climbing a hill is when this exhaust is a little loud for my tastes, and gets the most drone. Slight highway grades do the same thing.

All said however, this pipe weighs NOTHING compared to stock and looks great. Sound is at the upper level of what I would consider street appropriate as I live in L.A. proper and there's plenty of loud cars everywhere. It's nice that the FRS can turn some heads now too based on sound alone. The sound it gives off when really laying into it is beautiful, and listening to it go from 1st to 6th with WOT is an experience compared to stock. For $200, there isn't even anything that comes close to the value you get here. Looked at a lot of cat and axleback systems and for the price this is crazy. I'm very happy with mine.

If I get a chance I'll MAYBE record it and DEFINITELY take some pics - but I obviously think video of exhaust noise isn't helpful. I didn't hear any similarity in person with what I had heard before in videos/etc. If anyone is in socal/LA area (west side in particular) and wants to hear it in person, I'm game.

Well since I bought mine from a member instead of waiting for the turnaround time, I canceled my nameless order. It was the fourth business day since I ordered but they still charged me a 50% restocking fee, which is whatever I guess. My fault for not canceling sooner.

Regardless, they charged 50% restocking INCLUDING SHIPPING. I had paid a bunch for reasonably fast shipping. They didn't pay a single cent yet for shipping, but decided jacking half of it from me though it had no bearing on the order cost was okay.

If you order from nameless, just choose the cheapest shipping and upgrade before they send it if you might cancel. That's really bad business in my opinion. No other industry I've worked in/purchased in pulls restocking from anything other than the value of the product.

I have the 5" version and although I love it, it is a bit loud for Daily use. I feel horrible for driving through neighborhoods at night. I have also come to terms with the fact that I can't drive some of my favorite roads because of how loud the exhaust is. Anything above moderate throttle and the car screams. I have thought about buying another one without the tip to utilize in a custom midpipe to help cut it down further. Once I get my card cleared on my Go Pro, I'll get some sound clips.

I'm the same way. I think I'm going back to stock unless I'm going to the track cause I feel really awkward at night or uphill. I feel like I sound like a douche.

Are you guys serious? Do you have any other exhaust mods?
