$189 EBay Cat Back - Eh? Not too bad actually. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl5f3IIx3ms"]Scion FRS - EBay "RS Type" Exhaust Sound - YouTube[/ame]

So above is a sound clip of the exhaust. I think it may have already been on here once but wasn't certain.

Basically, wanted to hear the car a bit more but since I rallycross the car as my main form of racing didn't want to spend a $1000 bucks to shoot rocks at it and didn't want to get a track pipe since its my daily. Stumbled on this little fella and am actually impressed. The welds don't seem terrible, the fit was good, it's loud enough to notice but not annoying, and the price is hard to beat. $189.99 to my door.

While I agree with your sentiment, the sound definitely isn't as deep as a lot of the other aftermarket offers usually more associated with being high quality.

OP: I think for rallyx you made the right choice. You're going to hammer the crap out of it, may as well get something that's 100% replaceable. I wouldn't want to check rocks at my MXP SP.

I think a header may deepen it up enough to sound better!

Good review, I like seeing when there are cheap gems, and it looks like this does exactly what you want it to do.

Odds are no. Butt dyno at first felt like it might be breathing a little bit better but I think that was just wishful thinking.

haha, at least you're honest.

You're hardly ever going to be able to hear the deeper tones of an exhaust from a video like this. Most microphones aren't going to be able to pick up those frequencies accurately at this distance. He's already probably clipping the mic just based upon how loud our cold starts are.

Plus exhausts sound different under load driving down the street than they do free revving.

Very hard to accurately judge this system just from the video that was posted.

Fair point. We need to find a free ios/android app for spectrum analysis to use as a standard so we can all compare.

good find man. I say if it does what you want it to do, then rock the shit out of it. Fuck the haters. I do.

That's the power of positive thinking bro.
