I have a 2017 manual BRZ. I want to do something with the exhaust, and I also want a tune as well. The issue right now is I was settled on getting the Nameless dual exit axleback with the 2.5" piping and 5" mufflers, a UEL header and a tune. Now the issues are that the axleback on the 2017 is different than the prior years, and I guess so is the ECU.

So as of now, Nameless doesn't have any axleback in stock for the 2017's, it'll be a few weeks more apparently, no big deal. So since the ECU is somehow different the open flash maps for the OFT are different for the 2017's and so far support for the 2017's is severely lacking. I don't want to do a header without a tune since it probably won't run 100%, and I'll most likely get a check engine light. The OFT would fix both of those issues, but again, it doesn't seem smart to buy an OFT for the 2017's yet.

I've also heard from one person that the Nameless exhaust after they break in are pretty loud, and will be obnoxious with a header. I don't want anything crazy loud, just a bit louder than stock with a better, deeper tone. I don't want to buy an exhaust and have it still sound like stock though either. I want noticeably louder, but not obnoxious, especially since I do plan on going with a catless header eventually.

Not sure where to go or what to do from here besides just waiting.
