Loud exhaust/header combination
 

Hey guys,

I currently do not own a brz or frs, but I plan on purchasing a brz sometime within the next few months as my civic si (fa5) is currently up for sale. On my Si, I have a skunk2 76mm exhaust and skunk2 megapower header as well as a hybrid racing cold air intake, so it's really loud and I love it. I was hoping to get some feedback from you guys who may possibly have heard this setup on a civic before and if there is a exhaust and header setup made for the brz that is just as loud as my current setup. I have heard a sound clip of the Invidia n1 paired with a Tomei UEL header and Berk front pipe. This sounds pretty damn loud but I'm not sure if this video is overdoing it or not. I'll post links to this video as well as to what the skunk2 exhaust/header setup sounds like!

Thanks in advance!

Edit: go with a Tomie Race single exit with full catless you should be set to annoy people

Catless exhaust with an N1 is the go to exhaust for "LOOK AT ME" loud

I second this, we briefly ran that set up with the resonator cut out ( to clear the fuel cell) a nameless header and a compression bump. That car was the loudest damn thing I've ever heard.

1) If you want it to really sound similar to the civic, you'll need to stick with an equal length (EL) header.

2) The biggest contributors to volume on the 86 are the cat in the header and the catback. A catless header will increase volume substantially. Pair that with a loud catback and there you go.

3) The brand of header you choose won't really make a difference in volume, so get what fits your budget and goals.

4) The overpipe has very little effect on volume.

5) The front pipe can change the noise in a couple ways. Removing the cat in the FP will increase volume a little. Adding resonators will reduce the high-frequency "raspyness" of the exhaust note and produce a smoother, fuller sound.

6) The go-to exhausts for pure volume on the 86 are the Invidia N1 (pretty loud) and Tomei 80R (LOUD NOISES).

Or if OP is cheap he can just take it all off and save some weight and money :D

If all you want is to have a loud exhaust, I'd say go with the Tomei 60R single-exit exhaust and an uncatted EL -

I don't endorse this per se, but you will get a lot of weight saving out of the Tomei exhaust - which is also of great quality (full titanium) at a competitive price-point (I love my Tomei 60S).

Go Tomei all the way from Header back. After 2 wks, you'll be deaf... or close to deaf

Tomei 60r on a Nameless EL if you want it to sound like your civic.

I'm not necessarily looking for it to sound like the civic, I'm just looking for that level of loudness. Also, I should've mentioned this earlier, but I'm looking for that typical subaru boxer engine "rumble" that you typically hear from STI's, and the Invidia n1 paired with a UEL header is the closest thing I've heard to that so far (at least judging by youtube sound clips)

Warning :offtopic: coming



This reminds me when the twins first came out and I put a UEL header as one of my first mods. For the first year subbi guys would always stare and people would ask me what engine I swapped into my Toyota LMAO!!

See a cat in the catback? Get rid of it!
Front pipe? Get rid of it!!
Headers?!? GET RID OF IT!!

It's really not hard to make these cars ignorantly loud. 12.5:1 compression helps.

^ that is why I had to work to hard to keep it quite.... but I still failed haha!
