4 exhausts, pick 1 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

tdotBRZ · 08-07-2013, 10:57 PM

I've read a tons of reviews and listened to a bunch of different exhausts, ended up narrowing it down to the following 4 and can't decide which one to get:
Perrin catback 2.5"/3"
Greddy Evo3 2.75"
Nameless axleback 2.5"/3"
Megan Racing 2.5"

Pick one and elaborate why please. Looking for not too quiet exhaust, but not very loud and raspy/drony. Also is there a benefit of going 2.75" or 3" opposed to 2.5" if I'm keeping the car NA? Also considering getting overpipe and 4-2-1 headers, but current overpipes seem to have fitment issues, but for the reference which exhaust would be better for that setup? Thanks in advance.

I like "insert exhaust name" the best, because thats what I run. And I haven't got a subjective opinion, or have actually experienced any of the others, I'm just trying to feel better about the "insert the same exhaust name here" that I already have.

Seriously, that is all this thread is going to get.

All the info you need can be found using

And my opinion, all of those exhausts offer little gain for their cost.

If you want noise, get a $100 track pipe.

If you want the car to go better, there is probably 5 or 10 things I can think of for similar money as those cat-backs that will give more bang for buck.

I'm just going to put half the effort in to your lack of self research

Seriously tho you gotta take the time to read some of the exhaust threads.

Easy: Perrin. With this car you ideally want a single canister design. With the dual canisters (like I have) they will resonate against/with each other and can cause "drone".

Single canister Perrin is what you want.

Nameless, you'll thank me later.

Nameless is the best sounding I have heard and the have alot of options in terms of how loud you want it

Not on your list, but consider the Stromung axle back. It sounds nice and is a little less common right now.
