Good news is I put the catless one on our silver car and I must say boy does it wake the car up. The +4K rpm range goes much more quickly now and the car feels more alive. I personally love it.

I have photos of both units installed. Will edit those up shortly.

Bummer!

It is louder. IMO though for the better. You get more of the boxer rumble with it. The noise increase is good so I don't mind it.

Do you guys feel a bit of resonance around 4k? I have the berk tech catless front pipe (very similar to this but not as shiny!) I seem to feel a bit more vibration and noise around 4k and a bump in power. I like it!

I don't see why all these threads aren't in the classifieds, just because there isn't a price doesn't mean its not a for sale advertisement especially with the vendors name in the thread title also. It's starting to bother me that the majority of threads are advertisements, i can understand it coming from the manufacturer like the turbo kit threads but this is just a post by someone selling the parts?

Sorry just trying to provide good photos and info is all. It is new info on a new product that the manufacturer is not posting info about so we are doing it is all. It is also an open discussion for any questions that members may have on an item that is available for our cars (FRS/BRZ).

We have a dedicated Classified ad for selling this item. This thread is strictly info and available for any vendor and member to post in as well.

Sorry i wasn't trying to single you guys out just noticed about half the threads posted now are from Vendors, not manufacturers. I appreciate the info and pics but i think the Vendor name should be left out of the thread title if it's not a for sale thread.

If you check Nvidia's site, there is no news on any part for the BRZ. This forum is the first place I check for new parts, and FT86 SpeedFactory is working to get info out to the masses, I don't see a problem with putting their name on photos they took themselves, and their ability to give first-hand feedback to the community helps us with our buying decisions.

It's almost like they're writing a research book, on something new in development, would you rather they not be credited for the research?

I agree 100% they have more info than most of the vendors on here, detailed pics, great info, and they answer our ?'s pretty quick too. They also seem to have the best pricing on all the products they sell! Ive ordered a few things from them due to their great customer service, great pricing, and best info and reviews! Keep up the great work guys!

I also appreciate all the info that they're giving us, although I understand where you're coming from. That being said, can't wait for the dyno on the Invidia exhaust system!

FT86Speedfactory has been excellent with any questions I've ever had and with keeping me informed. I always go to these guys for parts and so should you.

My questions are what that large bump on the stock front pipe is, towards the rear? Is that some kind of resonator? Will the emissions be greatly affected by removing 1 of the 2 cats? And finally, when and how much of my money do you need?
