What front pipe do you have? I was thinking about this too. I have Borla UEL and a catless frontpipe. Figured it might be too loud.

I have the works abm axle back and I really like it. Everything else is stock and it sounds perfect. Not too loud on the street and no drone. At low rpms driving around the street it makes great noises. On down shifts at low rpms around 4k I can get it to make some great throaty popping sounds. When you Rev it out the muffled side seems to keep it fairly tame. I drive around with the back seats down all the time just so I can hear the exhaust more. The tips also look really nice imo.

Here's clip of the exhaust and all stock on track with a external mic just outside of the trunk near the license plate.

Looking for more sound vids with a header too because that is next.

Damn guys, I was all set on the Nameless and now you're coming back with all these good words for the WORKS. The decision is getting more difficult, not less lol.

lol sorry. Nameless makes amazing products don't get me wrong. But for the price and quality you can't beat WORKS.

Yea I am all stock other than muffler delete and catted header. I'm sure it would be stupid loud with a catless front pipe and catless header.

Did you install some axle back for your my17 at the end?

i read in the confidential Subaru leaked document about the brz (dated june 16) that they did modify both the headers AND the catback

In fact, HKS doesn't offer the axle-back 32018-AT039 (good for every other older models), but they now offer for the my17 model another axle-back 32018-AT058

So do you guys think older axleback aren't compatible with new model anymore?

i noticed now, from those pictures in the HKS site I linked, that the difference between the old and the new model catbacks, could be in the joint between the muffler and the midpipe.
Old one looks flat with a different gasket and different lugs/screws/whatever-they're-called that put them together

So far, the big standout to me is the Nameless Performance axle back (4" mufflers), but at $650, it's a little more than I want to spend on a car I'm only planning on keeping for 3 years or so. I was trying to find something in the $300-400 price range that sounds similar and came across the Exhale AB from WORKS Motorsports, but it's really difficult to tell with the videos available online. Anyone have personal experience with these?

The Nameless one is available without mufflers for $530 which is an easier pill to swallow but I'm worried it'll be too loud and obnoxious (drone-y).

Suggestions for what I should do or be looking at? Preferably less than $400 but exceptions can be made. No catbacks please, I'm just interested in a simple axle back for the sound.

MRT Axle back is a new good replacement but it is non resonated.

Same. I run the MRT on my 2017 and am very happy with it.
