Nameless Performance BRZ Axleback Exhaust - Page 74 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

My 2.5" revised offset axleback and factory fit downpipe are out for delivery. If the package gets here in time today I hope to install it today and have some pictures and video. If not today, then definitely tomorrow.

Finally got the axleback portion on. Plan on doing the downpipe tomorrow.

It's the new revised 2.5" offset with the 8" mufflers. I like the sound. I was expecting it to be quieter because of the offset and larger mufflers (my original order was for the original non offset axleback) but was pleasantly surprised at the volume. Definitely louder than stock without being too loud.

So several of us attended the FL mega meet, and a friend if mine had the original 2.5 nameless offset and we compared it my new 3" offset. The loudness was about the same, with the 3" maybe slightly louder, and the 3" had a deeper tone, at least that's what we both thought.

I'm sure you wouldn't have trouble selling it they normally go pretty quick in the classifieds.

Going to try and get the downpipe installed today and see how that effects things.

Since your not doing the over pipe it should only take an hour max... make sure you transfer the doughnut gasket from the end of your factory front pipe (at the stock midpipe end) to the same end of the nameless front pipe.

Otherwise you will snap the spring bolts trying to get a good seal as several other folks have done already.

Did you go for catted or non and helmholtz or no?

Factory Fit Downpipe or the Downpipe that has the Over built in?

vtmike · 03-10-2013, 04:44 PM

Got the factory fit downpipe on. It sounds much better with it and is decently loud. Don't think I would want to go with the smaller muffler axleback if I were doing the downpipe. Hopefully will get a video together later.

The biggest pain with the installation is getting the bolts lose that connect to the overpipe. They were pretty tight. Same with the bolts on the mid pipe and axleback.

It's catted without any resonator.

Anyone know what changed between nameless initial testing when they weren't showing much power gains saying the ecu was limiting the power and later when they were getting the nice gains from the axleback downpipe combo.

I would say something like Ecutek solved the problem?
