SRT FR-S/BRZ Full Exhaust System ... Sneak Peak!

[Bu-Tang]

Any Canadian guy get there exhaust yet? I paid 72.86 in customs charges for my airaid intake today. Wonder what the exhaust will cost, SRT, will you be doing ground shipping to Canada?

Wow that's amost half the cost of the intake! I'm glad i'm shipping mine to the states then picking it up.

Haven't gotten a shopping notice or anything yet but I may want the 5" resonator put into mine if drone is that bad.

The drone is really not that bad and it more has to do with the exhaust being loud to begin with. I am getting the 5 incher though so appease my gf's ears (giggity.) The note of the exhaust sounds very good though overall. If you have an issue with loud exhaust you might just go for the 5 inch since they are offering it; I am sure once you put on a header it will raise the volume quite a bit.

Yea, they said if I had went with air shipping brokerage fee would have only been 10 bucks. I wish I had a US addy to ship too lol. I called Mo yesterday to have the 5" res on mine, so it will be another while but waited this long guess it was a blessing in disguise.

Hopefully I'll have some decent feedback tomorrow night. I have a 2.5hr drive back home from SRT at highway speeds (assuming traffic isnt horrible), so Ill have a good amount of time to see how the drone is.

I installed mine last night and I love it! I have the smaller resonator and as expected, there is some drone but it's not that bad.

Just one problem though, it probably has more to do with my installation than anything...I lined the tips up so the were even and flush with the bumper when I had the car in the air, but after I took it for its first drive I noticed they were WAAAAAYYYY uneven. The left one was much further out and toward the center of the car. Then in the morning they were almost back to even (not quite). It is as if one of the pipes is expanding or something when the exhaust heats up, causing the muffler section to twist slightly.

Anybody have any ideas?

Not sure, but if you look closely at mine the driver side tip sticks out very slightly. Like 1/8", maybe even less.

[lopro25]

Yeah mine is very obvious. Left sticks out probably an inch or more further than the right. But only when the exhaust is hot lol

Weird. That's a lot of expansion.

[lopro25]

Yeah. It doesn't seem like anybody else is having that problem so I'm guessing I need to tighten up one of the joints a little better. Idk

Now that is a clean looking exhaust!

How tight did you make the clamps? I took them just about as tight as they'd go, although I felt like I might be stretching the clamp too much. Though that could have just been my own paranoia.

Changing the subject, I'm going to adjust my tips Friday morning to see if that helps lower the volume.

To others that have noticed "droning." What do you define as droning? I'm not hearing what someone described as the resonance you get when 2 similar cars with exhausts are driving next to each other at the same speed.
What I'm hearing is a constant low frequency note, like something you'd get from a giant subwoofer. It happens under load at low rpm and under deceleration with the car in gear.

I had my friend drive my car and I followed him. It had none of that low frequency sound from the outside, just pure awesome exhaust note... like what you hear in the videos.

There should be very slight movement when it warms up. Make sure the clamps are VERY tight, you have to tighten until the two half moon shaped flanges until they almost touch each other, basically until it bottoms out.

This is what I experience in the car.
