What exhaust should I buy? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

KyleCross · 09-20-2014, 04:19 PM

Hey guys I'm new to this form and purchasing a frs this week I've been looking around at various cat back exhausts and haven't found one that I really like for a reasonable price. I was wondering what you guys recommend I'm looking for the $800- $1000 range with a nice tone to it thanks

I've seen this page but was wondering from owners of different exhausts their recommendation.

Captain Snooze · 09-20-2014, 05:08 PM

Here, let me search that for you.

I went with a top speed EL header and Perrin 3" catless, resonated exhaust. I love the sound. Take a listen, I'm the #24 black FRS.

KyleCross · 09-20-2014, 07:23 PM

That sounds really nice!

Don't be a lazy ass and search yourself.

So this is what the forum has become? Instead of helping someone who is obvious new, your first instinct is to jump them?

Give the guy a break, lest we comb through your posts and ban you for the questions you asked when you were new.

In the section of the rules you pasted, it even says that if you: "...can't find your answer or are still unclear, then by all means don't be afraid and post your question." He did exactly that and you flamed him for it. Maybe you should get the banhammer for being a garbage representation of an otherwise friendly and helpful community.

So to answer your question my young Padawan, I myself got the Takeda Catback ([ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxupIlfib94"]2013 Scion FR-S Takeda Catback exhaust - YouTube[/ame]) for right around 600, and it has a deep hearty tone. Plus at that price point, that gives you more money for parts!

KyleCross · 09-22-2014, 02:23 PM

Thank you for actually replying with an answer instead of a rude comment its a little different hearing about an exhaust from someone who owns it instead of watching a video in my opinion I've looked up many exhausts and just wanted a second opinion from someone who has one. Im not being lazy i figured I'd ask before i buy an exhaust and see what other people thought. Also i should have put this in the original post I wanted to get an exhaust that wouldn't be too loud once I put in a turbo and other various mods. BTW your exhaust has that tone I'm looking for!

kevman_101 · 09-22-2014, 02:29 PM

Sorry Kyle, but asking which exhaust is like asking which girl you should bang. Everyone has different taste and bias.

I have the TRD and nothing else and I LOVE the sound of it. I`ve heard it with a UEL header too and it sounds great with that too. I can`t tell you how much I enjoy the sound of it, although some did not like it and some found it droned, but that could of been either their ear hearing different things or a factory default or bad installation. I love it, it`s one of the most expensive yes, but I Youtubed for months listening to all sorts of combinations and the TRD was always the one that sounded the best to me.

Jeff01234567 · 09-22-2014, 03:17 PM

I have 2.5" Perrin catback without resonator. I also have a K&N drop-in filter, not sure if it really makes any difference in the sound.

Anyways, when I first got it, SUPER LOUD. My ears were popping from the super bassy sound that it makes at low revs. I've put about 2k miles on the catback now. The sound has definitely died down. The sound is very tolerable at low revs and with music on, I barely even notice it anymore. It will only get really loud if you are gassing it hard and revving it high. But then when you do that, the intake gets so loud that it starts overtaking the sound of the exhaust starting at around 4k RPM. However that loud intake sound might just be a result of the air filter + clearing out all of the cotton and foam out of the sound tube.

As for the sound itself, it kind of reminds me of stock 350z/G35. Not the same sound but kind of reminds me of it sometimes.
