Nameless 3" axleback w/ 5" mufflers. So purdy.

Nameless 2.5" catted & resonated front/over pipe (top one here).

Absolutely love the way this combo sounds. I honestly wouldn't do this axleback without this front/over pipe. It's quieter on the highway with it but louder at wot.

Autox fun

Tuning:
- These are e-dynos done on the same section of an uphill road in 3rd gear.
- Blue is a stock brz (not mine).
- Green is all mods before tuning.
- Red is after tuning.

Done by HRI tuning.

Had a great weekend with the 2 day autox at Daytona. Came in 2nd out of 14 in STX. I was about 3 seconds faster on Saturdays course (compared to the last time I ran it a few months ago). I'm sure the tune and the tires helped with that.

I got a road tune done by HRI tuning in Orlando. They do e-tunes I believe.

Alright cool. I like your spoiler by the way, thinking about getting a black one for my firestorm.
