Installed my Nameless Axle back 2.5" with 5" mufflers. It's louder than I thought but it sounds amazing. Unfortunately there's a fair bit of drone in the cabin and the rear deck buzzes at around 2100 RPM.



I'll give it some more miles before I decide if I like it or not.

Not a big deal, the pins can be easily removed with a dremel and 3M reapplied if desired

Unfortunately the pics and description at JP do not reflect any info on the pins located on the backside as shown in my pics
In comparison to the other STi badges sold by BaysonR for their ABS STi side skirts they sell, they are virtually identical minus the 3 pins found on the ones from JP. So just a heads up again for those looking to buy these in the future

Thanks for the info, happy to see that BysonR did a good making the replica...it just sucks replica turn out to be more convenient than the original.

On the replica stuff there are no badges pre-attached. You can buy them from BysonR @ $15/per

Trust me when I say, you would be hard pressed to find a difference between the two badges. I own both and cannot see any difference in quality. Quick fix on the JP STi badge with a pair of side snips and a dremel, 5 minutes later...

Get a Nameless frontpipe with Helmholtz. Will fix your issue of drone

I've compared the both side by side as I have the JDM authentic set... The replica side skirt sticks up a little higher than the authentic JDM. Also the "fins" on the side are slightly bulkier.

I have OCD... I notice these too easily and it sometimes bothers me...

I heard it gets significantly more quiet after breaking in for like 2 weeks.

Yes, I read that too. This exhaust is used though, so it should be broken in already.

Never been a fan of the giant gap between our trunks and rear window, so I ordered one of these... Just need to remove that blasphemous TRD logo

Picked up my lip last night and was wondering where and how was the right way to install the two rubber strips that came with the lip. (a picture is worth a thousand words (fingers crossed)).
Thanks

They are way overpriced for what they are, but I could not longer stand looking at that gap. I've seen them range from $189 to $240

I totally know what you mean. They're expensive too!

I might make DIY kit on this instead of $200 plastic... still debating
