Are you the one that parks by 115th BSB motorpool? I am the white BRZ on post.

Contemplating on whether or not I should get one of those as well. My SRT cat back arrives next week! Will be interested to see if you notice a difference in performance and sound levels when you get that puppy installed.

I'll post up what I think about it after a day or so driving with installed.

@Extreme86 it sounds great with axle back so I'd imagine with the Catback it would sound even better.

Also bump for installed Downpipe with some in car video (shitty Cell phone type)

With the Nameless axleback you're still running the stock resonator which I've heard does a good job of toning down loudness. With the SRT header back, loudness has been the issue. So far, I've heard good things about the SRT cat back. I imagine the HFC pipe opens it up a bit more than the stock downpipe/cat so its likely you're hearing some of that now! My SRT catback is out for delivery today! Itching to get it installed! If it's not too loud will likely get the HFC downpipe in the near future as that is likely where I'd see a few HP gains. However, it could be that money would be better spent on a ECU tune instead! At this point, I think my "toy" budget is about "exhausted" though!

I've decided that what I am feeling as faster revving, is in fact the torque dip shrinking. So there is that added benefit

Another shitty video to show it (I need to invest in a GoPro)

Also I am there with you on the Toy budget being all but gone... Thank god the Army pays for my food . I am planing on tunning and ending it there for power mods for awhile.

How do you get the instrument panel to show you what gear you are in... mine doesnt do that

I can't remember off the top of my head, it's in the user manual.

I can't remember if the key has to be in the on, I, or II position. Then you use odo button to get you to a menu (I think it says g mode). And you turn that on.

There's a good guide here if you don't want to look through the owner's manual:

Nice looking car RicePuddin and I love the sound of your exhaust, most likely will be going with the same Nameless combo

PS. Happy Veteran's Day and thanks for your service! I really enjoyed being stationed at West Ft. Hood back in '90-'91, lots of good driving to Austin 6th Street especially taking the back roads but you gotta watch out not to hit the damn Armadillos at night, that will ruin your night for sure.

Thank you much! Have you been back recently? Austin and Hood are a whole new area
