Hey all,
It's been a while since we've updated everyone on our progress with our exhaust system, and certainly many people have been inquiring about it. The reason why we've been taking so long is that we've been testing different muffler designs to get the sound the way we expect people will want. Our axle-back prototype that we did for the Meguiar's FR-S was certainly a little too loud for my personal tastes, so we went back to the drawing board and tried out a couple of different designs. This is the one we are really confident people will be happy with in terms of performance and sound:
By using a larger body muffler design, it keeps the sound where I personally believe people will be happy. It's not too loud, not too quiet, but a real nice deep tone. And similar to other European exhaust systems we have built for other customers, it will have a slip-fit to connect the midpipe to the muffler, and the tips will be fully adjustable so you can get it where you like it.
We are going to be taking this exhaust to the dyno shortly to make sure the performance numbers are where we want them to be. Once that's settled, we'll have pricing info. We did this setup on our personal project car with our overpipe, HFC, non-resonated midpipe and it sounds amazing. I think you guys will really like it once it's ready.
I'll be sure to post up videos of the car on the dyno with just the cat-back, and then with the overpipe, HFC, and cat-back so people get a good idea of how it sounds.
