South Bay Exhaust Demo? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

edward · 07-18-2013, 02:39 PM

Hey all, does anyone have an exhaust on their car that they'd be willing to let me have a listen to in person? I'm thinking about getting the WORKS axle-back, but I'm not sure if I should get the resonated or muffled version. I'm also open to other exhaust suggestions! The goal here is to make the car a bit louder while still sounding good.

Thanks in advance!

I think @Symmetrical is still trying to sell his Works ABM (muffled). Not sure if he already took it off though. I have heard both the ABM and the AB (just resonator). I can tell you the AB is generally too loud for most people. Some people love it though. I was *this* close to buying the ABM but short on the moneys at the moment. Loved the sound of the ABM, fairly quiet in cabin but sounds good on the outside.

I've got a resonated Perrin 2.5" that you can listen to

Ive got the HKS hi-power. You welcome to check it out.

I've got the Milltek. If you want "louder"? no, "sounding good"? yes (imho)

Ive got the TRD exhaust that u can listen to

I have the Milltek too, but the non-resonated version. I feel that even this one is relatively quiet if you only have a catback. If you plan to do any other exhaust mods (header / over pipe / front pipe), then it can get pretty loud. I'm in south bay too, if you want to check it out.

I've got the resonated cat-back FT86 SpeedFactory unit......

What are your plans for the car? If you plan to change the entire exhaust system then ABM is best.

AB is very loud when entire system is changed

Let me know and ill hook you up with a good
Price

I have the ABM but not on the car anymore. It's not loud at all, but I can say it doesn't fit automatics well because of how it shifts.

@edward Hey man it's Jon, if you're not doing anything we're doing a BBQ on Saturday morning at the port of oakland. 8 FR-S and BRZ and I think at least some of them have the exhausts. You should also PM @BlaineWasHere he has the Works ABM and lives close to Santana Row area of south bay so he's close.
