Exhaust on a budget
 

I'm looking to change my exhaust soon, but there is one problem for me... I have a budget of $700 max. I've been searching around and apparently the Invidia N1 seems to be a good choice so far, but I hear it creates a lot of drone. I use my FR-S as a DD so I'm looking for something that won't give me a headache while driving below 3k rpm, but has a good tone once you hit the pedal. Also, I drive AT if that makes a difference. Any recommendations?

The answer is always Q300...

Ah well looks like I'm sold. This sounds good and is only a couple bucks more :lol:

Spend it on a header instead.

+1 on that, header is where the power is the cat back for sound

I got the Takeda catback for ~$600 a while ago and love the sound... only comes in 2.5" however... so if you plan on pushing a lot of boost later down the road, it might not be for you...


Spend it on an OFT or OFH....quiet power is better than a loud turtle....

I got my Tsudo CB and FP for $550. There isn't any drone. You do hear it from in the cabin (after about a month of driving), but it isn't annoying. Compared to nearly all other exhausts I've heard, it is quiet, but even the stock exhaust can wake up the quietest neighborhood on cold start.

2.5" supports a good amount of horsepower for most boosted people even. 3" is for the extreme 400-500 hp ones.

cheap exhaust mod. really pleased with results( mach 5 rep)
 

Had an exhaust made by a local shop , had a flange made so it would be a direct bolt on if I ever wanted to run the stock exhaust. It's essentially a muffler delete with a single tip exit from left exhaust well. Felt a difference in pick up when combined with k@n drop in. YouTube video under : " 2014 brz tinted tail lights muffler delete. A 3k rev 5k rev and hit the limiter for 2 seconds towards the end.

Buy a used perrin CBE here in the forums. You won't regret it

Just unbolt everything from the heads back, and remove it. Spend the money on an e85 tune and call t a day...

For real thought, get a high quality long tube equal length HEADER..

Btw cat backs provide NO more pwdr than stock, header does, header also changes the exhuast note

This one also sounds good... I'm stuck again between the Q300 and this one.

Also to everyone telling me to get a header, I am looking for something that I can rev and just show some friends how good it sounds or just hit 74xx RPM when I'm driving to smile. I don't plan on adding any real performance mods till after I get my degree.

you get sound as well with a header, kind of a no brainer really.
