Axle back suggestions for 2017 BRZ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

CJRhoades · 10-15-2016, 06:26 AM

Hello everyone, I've got a 2017 BRZ on order and have been looking at axle back exhausts. I'm a little overwhelmed at how many options there are and been having trouble getting things narrowed down. So far, the big standout to me is the Nameless Performance axle back (4" mufflers), but at $650, it's a little more than I want to spend on a car I'm only planning on keeping for 3 years or so. I was trying to find something in the $300-400 price range that sounds similar and came across the Exhale AB from WORKS Motorsports, but it's really difficult to tell with the videos available online. Anyone have personal experience with these?

The Nameless one is available without mufflers for $530 which is an easier pill to swallow but I'm worried it'll be too loud and obnoxious (drone-y).

Suggestions for what I should do or be looking at? Preferably less than $400 but exceptions can be made. No catbacks please, I'm just interested in a simple axle back for the sound.

So it does, and it looks nice too aside from the 4.5" tips being slightly too large for my tastes. Ill keep this one in mind. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have it
the tips are not large and have a look glamorous.
great quality.
sports sound but nothing outrageous. sound nice cabin.
significant weight savings.
good price

Nameless, it sounds amazing very deep and aggressive brings out that boxer engine sound although expensive just for the axle back it's well worth it, the quality and fitment is amazing

Another vote for nameless. Also, the borla touring is nice

Also, don't worry about the price on the nameless. In a few years when you get rid of the car, it'll be a super easy sell

i am satisfied with my works ab-m but its paired with catless uel. great price too at one of the least expensive axlebacks but dont mistake it for being cheap cutting corners with shoddy engineering.

My buddy's Nameless Axleback double walled tips kept cracking where they folded (in an obvious spot). Nameless repaired them (twice), but he still had to deal with mounting/dismounting the axleback a total of three times (if you include when he finally removed it for the last time), shipping the exhaust and of course the associated down time. Nameless makes nice stuff and they seem like nice guys, I'm hoping that they managed a fix for this issue.

I personally have the WORKS AB but no muffler. I like it a lot but i'm looking to getting a catback because i like the sound. I'm looking to sell mine if you are interested. Looking for 500$ for exhaust and midpipe or 275$ for each shipped. I'll upload a video tonight of what it sounds like by itself and with UEL headers.

Nameless is apparently aware of the cracking issue as their website says this:

THIS PRODUCT IS SCHEDULED FOR A REDESIGN FEATURING OUR NEW IN-HOUSE TIG WELDED 4" SINGLE WALL TIPS. THE EXISTING 4" DOUBLE WALL DESIGN WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE UNTIL CURRENT STOCK IS SOLD.

If I order an axle back from them I'll wait for the redesigned tips.

The video really does no justice I also run a works ab and It sounds incredible, especially with the JDL catted uel header.... but also with stock

It really doesnt. Unfortunetly you can only capture so much with a shotgun mic =(. I love how this pairs with my UEL headers as well
