A little confused on the layout of the exhaust... Please HELP - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Alright guys so i just purchased the Nameless Downpipe/Overpipe, obviously the product speaks for what it replaces the downpipe and overpipe. Now I am getting ready to purchase the Berk Technology Track pipe which i know replaces the muffler. So that leaves one piece stock which is the Midpipe? Now correct me if I am wrong but I have to purchase a midpipe as well now, being that I do not want the OEM midpipe, the Berk Technology Test pipe; does it replace the midpipe? If not, Are there any aftermarket reputable companies that created a aftermarket midpipe? Thanks guys!

If theres any altercations needed to be made please do so, all ears!

WORKS makes an OEM replacement midpipe.

I wouldn't say you "need" to replace it, though.

Agree 100% on this, I cannot wait for these damn headers to be released already! Been holding out on headers to purchase the Nameless ones.

How do you think that setup will sound? Nameless overpipe/front pipe, berk track pipe and works midpipe? Is the works midpipe high quality though as far as welding and such?

the midpipe only changes the sound very little. so whatever sound you have right now, you will only hear a slight change

WORKS systems are made to order. Each component are made one at a time to ensure a high quality build.

As far as performance goes, do you think Works will have an effective increase over the OEM midpipe?

They advertise it as the pipe itself will yield 5hp. I guess it's due to their less bend design.

So I guess nameless does not make the mid-pipe at all? Just saw their list and they're all axle-back..

Because Nameless tested it and it won't make any kind of power your going to feel. He's better off leaving it. Sound will change with aftermarket mid pipes if they are not resonated like the OEM one is.

Ah I see now. Thanks for the explanation.

Are you staying N/A? Stock internals for now? If yes, you DO NOT need a midpipe. Stock midpipe offers very little restriction. The restriction comes when yuo go FI or are pushing crazy stuff N/A. Don't waste your money, the only thing you will get is even more sound. (IF you do want sound and minimal performance increase, by all means go for it.)
