Nameless Performance BRZ Axleback Exhaust

Here's the iPhone videos...

Nameless axle back...

Hmmm...didn't embed like I thought...I'll still tinker on it, but regardless, the videos are up at least. Love the sound inside the cab as well. You can now hear the bassy boxer burble, not the engine only like before. These are both cold-start as the vehicle hadn't been driven all day.

Sounds great @boarder1995. Is this the offset offset?

Any chance you would get a drive by and or in car video sometime?

This is the standard straight original version. I believe it's the louder of the Nameless systems. I'll work on drive-by videos, and especially in-car. I wish I had done a stock in-car for comparison. This is where I believe the biggest difference is. When on throttle it's definitely more burble and very noticable in car, but when cruising with light throttle just maintaining speed, it's virtually silent, just barely noticable. This is all on surface streets so far; no highway driving yet.

Now is this the 10% Gloss Black - Blacked out?

The two options for black (Blacked out, Masked Tips) are slightly confusing to me. Anyone willing to tell me the difference?

EDIT** Oh and Stealth, that looks amazing

Sorry, but I dunno, looking at the Perrin bling that adorns my car(in my link below u can find pics), the black nameless looks like crap IMHO

Masked tips are Black with the SS tips.. not sure how much of the tip is still SS.

Some of us don't need to scream and shout, probably a maturity thing maybe you wouldn't understand.

As far as I knew the Perrin exhaust simply says "Perrin" on the tips?

I installed the front section of the exhaust this evening without too much issue. I only had the front of the car on ramps, so it was tight towards the connection of the resonator section. The engine does need to be lifted a couple inches, otherwise it's a no-go on removing the old and installing the new system. I first only was able to get the engine up about an inch, then realized this no-go issue and had to relocate my jack. Also, not having a lift makes the install a bit of a puzzle getting the pipe routed in, but it does go with a bit of time taken. I've also got the Helmholtz resonator, so that makes it a bit more cumbersome.

Now, the sound...
It's louder than with just the rear Nameless section, inside and out. Just light throttle will make it growl. While maintaining speed it goes virtually quiet again, just like the rear only section did. With engine braking it makes burbles too. If I get tired of it, I know I can go with Nameless' quieter rear system. For now I like the sounds and the car seems to have grown some balls with its new exhaust note. It actually feels like a sports car with the added vibration through the rumble of the exhaust. As far as extra power... To me right now it's very subtle. Perhaps it'll get better with time or more driving, perhaps even resetting the computer (disconnecting battery) may help. With more seat time I'll play with it and see if the extra ~10hp are noticeable beyond the placebo effect. It definitely no longer feels like a polished, stock, passive, straight off the dealer lot automobile. Thanks Nameless!

I have another iPhone video I'll upload tomorrow from a real pc.

Sorry guy, but some people have actually requested to have the powder coated black look because it goes with the look THEY want for their car (i.e. black on black)... IMHO bright blue rims on a white car looks like crap...thats why they arent on my car.

A) if you want to talk about looking like crap, compare Perrin's ugly, wire-feed welds to Nameless' TIG welds.

B) Perrin also offers a black option.

Yeah, mine is the 10% gloss black - blacked out option. Its not too glossy, with a slight texture. I'm very happy with the look although I still haven't had a chance to take it out in the sunlight.
