If you have no problem dishing out cash, there's no problem there. The cheapest I've seen their catback is $769 from a groupbuy on this site, which isn't too bad. If you can get the front pipe and OP for about $500, then this statement would be irrelevant.

The V1 from FT-86 Speedfactory is a really good choice. You can get an overpipe/frontpipe combo with FT-86 Speedfactory to match the V1 and they'll help you do it easily for a great price. I highly recommend working with them as their customer service is top notch. I put this second on my list behind Nameless simply because I was already committed to Nameless' revised system they are working on.

Nameless offers a much lighter solution (Unless you go with the revised axleback which is a bit heavier, but 2.5" tubing with a 3" inlet, 21 lbs vs 16 lbs) still lighter than stock either way. Jason is working on a mid-pipe solution now to see if the axleback produces 7 ft lbs of torque with the 2.5" or 3" midpipe as their new quad muffler system did. I'm definitely a fan of their overpipe/downpipe combo simply because it's not "bendy" like the original OP's. I see less restriction in it (catted of course) and the biggest gains in the exhaust are from the header to that downpipe, or frontpipe. They put a lot of effort into testing and revising items. If you're patient and enjoy watching the research and development of their products, I highly recommend Nameless. Jason and Ryan both are very helpful and knowledgeable.

Just my .02 cents. Hopefully I didn't make your decision harder. Either way, FT-86 Speedfactory or Nameless, you really cannot go wrong. Both companies are way up there in respect and service. Perrin has outstanding service as well. All 3 top companies.
Would you recommend the zeta performance cat back? I also want a louder exhaust so at first I was looking at nameless axel back and no offset.

Sounds like i'll hold off a little bit before selling my original nameless non-offset axleback. Once they hammer down their R&D i'll likely sell it and go from there.

Zeta has a good design as well. They're one of the newer catbacks along with the V1 to show up. There's a lot of companies you really can't go wrong with. Just make sure of the material they use, and look at the weld quality. After looking at Zeta's, it looks pretty decent. To me, a bit restricted, but that's just from my view. I thought the Nameless system would be affected by bends but it isn't.

Did they drop all the 2.5" options? Why such a big diameter for N/A?

GTB/ZR-1 is absolutely correct, I am going to recommend Nameless. Why?, because I did a huge amount of research (literally weeks of listening to videos, getting information on companies.... yeah a bit TOO MUCH...) and ended up in Nameless because of several factors.

Build and developed in USA with american materials Check
Amazing Customer Service Check
Top of the line quality Check
Design is REALLY engineered Check
There is a reason for the pipe runs and bends Check
Sound is particular and awesome Check
If I had to do it again, I would buy Nameless Check
Even with the new exhausts in the market..... Check


That is why
