I was actually going to put the silencers back in but my wife stopped me, she said she liked the sound. "Makes the BRZ sound like it's got some balls" - her words, not mine
Lol my gf said the same thing, and she didn't mind the exhaust on the long drive we took. The drone bothered me and she was like "it's not bad".

Then again she's driving a loud stage 1 Wrx hatch

The exhaust sounds great other than that one spot. I still find it crazy that the exhaust goes quiet after 5k rpms lol

im a newbie when it comes to tuning, i just know basic stuff intakes, exhausts etc but i dont know how a tune would benefit me especially since i purchased the platinum service maintainence plan.

its made by cobb tuning. its basically a piggyback tuning device. Like Ecutek, but without the need for a computer since it is a handheld device.

You will enjoy the EVO3. Funny, I sold it and now I miss it. I'm so indecisive

This is just my point of view, and others will probably not agree.. But I see it the same as why you buy sports car for a daily driver, or a truck but never carry anything... Why I bought a "race replica" sports bike.. So when someone does need it (truck) wants to have fun ( sports car/bike) it's there... Get the exhaust you want, put the silencers on, but when you need the extra power like at the track or canyons, it's there by simply removing them.. Most of the time my Akrapovic exhaust on my gixxer has a silencer in.. I don't need the extra sound or power on the street, but when I'm at the track a 6mm Allen and its opened back up

It was like 760 shipped with jmracing. My local dealer has one now that I would like so I didn't want the wait and paying the difference for it now is OK with me.

i was indecisive as well and pulled the trigger too quickly and bought the invidia n1 system even before there were videos because it reminded me of the Greddy Ti-C (now RS) dual system.. but i think overall quality and sound that comes from Greddy i will love much more.

<----- Very indecisive myself. Curious, was it more towards sound/ tone/ drone (if applicable) that you are leaning more towards the Greddy vs Nvidia1? Also, did you or anyone else with hands on experience with both....tested for any hp gains? I'm on the fence with either of these two. Any info is much appreciated.

i just think the overall cosmetic look and quality is what brought me back to greddy.

the sound should be similar..

i think the Evo3 will fill up the rear diffuser exhaust ports better.

The Evo3 absolutely fills that space nicely. Love the look, love the build, love the growl. No idea if it adds any power on top of my tune, but since bolt ons don't seem to be adding a whole lot to our cars, it's not a big concern for me. That'll come with an FI kit in the future.

Speaking of FI kits, I hope the larger piping of the Evo3 helps out with that eventually, even if it does little for the NA state today.

that was a big reason i ended up going with it, and now i sold it

I probably should have just kept it. Oh well. I am sure once I get a replacement i will forget about it lol.

I don't know if you noticed, but you could hear a lot more road noise/rocks/etc with the greddy in place, because the stock exhaust is so big and fills that back area up well, and the evo3 canisters do not.
