I was gonna ask if you overnighted the parts from Japan, but then I saw you got it from the states.

I know more than 1 local FR-S owner which is going for an all-out TRD build that might want this even at the $1695+ price. It may not seem valid to you, but to someone who is going for a particular look or theme to their car, this might make sense to them if they have money to burn. It will probably sound good when paired with a midpipe and other exhaust parts. (TBH, kind of poor taste to call someone out for being able to afford really nice mods like a high end xleback, but I respect your opinion.)

That said, I went with the SRT/Nameless for my BRZ and ended up getting a headerback exhaust for well under that price.

I didn't like the look of quad exhausts for this car until I saw that TRD, though...needs bigger tips imo

Yo Brian! How are you liking your exhaust? I remember you saying you were gonna get the exhaust back in November, but I didn't see an update on your thread "I'm getting my trd kit installed!" Then I found this lol. Anyways, it looks great man, keep up the good work! Also, have you justified dropping 10k on those brakes yet?? Hahah kidding.

Thanks! Loving the exhaust so far.. definitely not a power adder but it sounds awesome under load.. not raspy at all and it just looks so complete with the TRD rear apron hehe.

Regarding the TRD brakes.. hehe I think both Carson and Nigel list them at closer to 11k I have been following an Austrailian/New Zealand thread and they can get the brakes for 8.5k.. If I can save that much I'll consider it, but if not I guess I will just have to do without them

The next few items I am putting on my car wont be TRD at all.. they will mainly be suspension and wheels and my sound system.. after all that and when more funds clear up, I will get the small items such as the strut bar, the oil/gas caps, the shift knob, etc etc Stay tuned!

Honestly, that TRD rear bumper w/ the Five:AD kit and have Nameless build a custom QuadTipped axelback exhaust using the what... 4" tips? that would be complete sex!

Also Brian, where did you get the rear bumper? did it come with the exhaust? I am assuming it was purchased seperate.

That is a genuine TRD rear apron. It attaches to the stock bumper but requires enlarging the exhaust openings

[goke186]

alright, thanks

[its_the_biz]

one of very few or if any guys i found on here with the trd exhaust. think you can post sound clips? it'd help with my purchasing decisions. thanks

[Turdinator]

Is the piping any larger in dia than the stock muffler?

[Verge]

any gains on this exhaust? how about sound? i cant seem to find a good video of sound

[brianlo622]

I'll try to take some sound clips tonight, but it is very mellow. Afterall, it is just an axleback =)

[Verge]

any update on sound?
