Nice sounding exhaust without being to loud and drone

[x808drifter]

Axleback.

Everything else stock.

Is this your video?

Was hoping you could follow up with how it sounded overall, because I wasn't able to find any follow-up video that you alluded to in the description.

I have a PLM catless header and fully stock exhaust otherwise. Have an FT86MS front pipe on the way with the intentions of getting it to sound similar to this, though I still don't have much insight on how it sounds cruising and under load.

Third video from post earlier I have a clip with a HKS catless dual resonated vs FT86MS Catted and resonated with the stock CB.

Dual resonated had higher pitch and adds a little rasp mostly as low RPM. I liked the sound in cabin, especially with the rear seats down when you want a little extra noise.
Catted and resonated is a little deeper sounding than stock. Only had that setup about a month before switching headers.

Doesn't give you much but this clip I have HKS FP installed. If you can deal with the catless smell I liked this setup most for stock CB.

Thanks. Ordered a straight pipe so I'll have to decide later whether I need a resonator or not.

Did you find any notable difference between the 13-16 and 17-21 catbacks? Most of the videos I've found of similar setups to mine would suggest the 17-21 is louder (which is why I went without a res/cat) but I have nothing to verify that.

Didn't notice a difference to be honest. I only swapped CB to install a fujistubo axleback that fits the 13-16 midpipe.

Do you have a video ? I have the same header with stock everything else. I’m looking for something a little bit more aggressive without introducing drone

TIA!!

Good-what other Goods do you have to trade?

Okay, thanks. Hopefully it’s not too obnoxious then.

I have some reports for you.

JDL 4-2-1, stock everything else (OP, FP, Catback).

TBH the stock exhaust does sound solid when paired up with a header. Has good volume outside of the car, basically sounds stock inside the car. If you do like a bit of a deeper tone that's where you lose out with the stock catback.

However, it's all a balance. The deep tone sounds good, but it drones! I had the Invidia R400 on my car for many years and loved the way it sounded in almost every driving situation, save for the 75-80mph highway sweet spot where it droned like hell. I could manage ok then, but for the last few years, not so much. My driving is almost 100% highway these days, and I'm 6 years older than I was when I got it so I seem to get headaches easier now lol. The drone when combined with the header became too much for me - I sold the R400 in the fall and put the stock catback back on.

If anything, I may pick up the Fujitsubo Authorise S (or another mild axleback, can't seem to find much for the 17+ though) to re introduce a bit of tone, but I can't quite justify it yet.

I’m on the exact same boat. I love how quiet and drone free it is with the JDL 4 2 1 with the rest stock, but it’s hard to hear the car when you have a helmet on or if you are doing any high speed driving with the windows down.

I genuinely considered r400 after seeing your videos but decided against it in case it was too loud (plus it seemed like it droned).

I'll try to video one this weekend. tbh If your goal is to be able to hear it with a helmet on and windows down... I can hardly hear it with the windows down even in spirited driving. I'm actually going to sell it soon because its too quiet, even for a street car. The tone is very muted to almost OEM levels and zero character. So yeah its quiet.
