So i installed my nameless axleback today. ITS AWESOME. The sound is amazing, nice clean deep tone, with a good growl at WOT. Sounds great from idle to redline! Also, love the fact that its not too loud and very subtle while cruising on the highway with no drone. I also like the fact that it's quiet enough even at WOT to have a conversation without having to shout.

edit add: also wanted to mention that the urethane bushings are SUPER tight, had to grease them pretty good to get them to slide on. Also had a hell of a time breaking the top exhaust bolt loose as my big ratchet didn't fit in there, and i didnt have a ton of space. Took a about an hour doing it solo, would definitely help having a friend there to hold the exhaust in place while attaching the hangers... But i got off work early and was too impatient lol.

Did you get the normal exhaust or offset?

Why not just go for the full catback?

There is no "full catback" from Nameless. The midpipe made no power on their test so they decided to not sell a piece of pipe just to sell it with no power gains. You can get downpipe/overpipe replaced, but that is beyond a catback.

Also if you really need to have the midpipe, you can actually call them and ask how much would they charge for the it since they did design it.

There are three reasons I know of that the exhaust is not hard fastened to the chassis. First is vibration isolation. Second is heat isolation. Third is to allow the system to move with the drive train, rather than have to flex, which would create metal fatigue. Urethane is stiffer, and transmits more vibration than the OEM rubber. Not really a plus for the exhaust system IMHO.
