Cat back on semi auto? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'm not looking for anything other than making it sound better. Honestly I bought the thing becuase I think it's damn sexy and i wanted a car to play with in the asthetic way.

So to the point, say I purchased the Invidia Q300 and put it on said semi-automatic frs.. Would it sound better or is there no point and I'm a retard for failing to buy a manual? Granted I think other drivers would be safer without me trying to drive a manual.

There is no diff between the cars besides the trans. If you slap X exhaust on Y car, it's going to sound pretty much the same as the X exhaust on Y car with an automatic.

Just drive it. Transmission doesn't matter. Supercars are automatic and they still sound damn sexy. Do your research. Don't cheap out on exhaust components if you want it to sound good.

My auto sounds just as good as any manual.

So do you think the invidia would be good, I heard some sound clips an fell in love. Just looking for opinions, super excited to hear it won't severely disappoint me if I get one :]

Just get whatever sound and looks best to YOU!

Perrin has a nice deep growl. Love the sound of mine.

I'm assuming I'll probably stick with the Q300 then :p

Nice to kinda know a fellow owner in Washington!

It's just automatic, not semi-automatic.

I have a video of it on my owners log. Remember I have headers, over pipe and front pipes.

Good to know, wasn't sure if you call an auto with paddle shifters just an auto or not. Learning something new everyday!

My auto with an N1 and highflow catted front pipe sounds great. Don't get down on the auto version of this car. I'm consistently beating manual cars in AutoX.
