Probably a lot. Your mufflers are smaller in both length and diameter. If I could take a guess, maybe 15 db. I'd be interested to see the actual values myself.

yeah. I agree. I'm sure most of you "because racecar" guys would love my setup, but it's hard to pull out of the garage at 6am below my kid's bedrooms with that car. I generally don't drive it just because of that. which is sad. I don't really mind it otherwise though.

Very understandable. I'm still going centered for the loud sound, but I still think it will be a bit tamer than your setup once I add headers but pretty extreme when I step on it.

Ok, I got my 3" Nameless offset axleback installed and it sounds simply amazing!!!!!

Here are a few vids of just this axleback on a stock BRZ
Please note that the in car videos where taken while attempting to drive one handed holding the phone, in traffic with the FL sun blasting in my eyes and some of my kids toys rattling in the back.

They are ok, but don't flame the messenger.

Enjoy and let's get some other vids that might not be as crappy as mine.

I'll have to view these at home. Glad you like it man! It's pretty sick.

Any issues connecting it to the stock midpipe or was that simple?

Yea..the vids are meh...but what do you expect from a cell phone.

Install was easy peezy... I got two of their stiffer gasket thingys and put those on the hangers closest to the bumper and left the two back ones stock. Two bolts, and a little pushing back and forth on the hangers to line up the tips and yer done!

Awesome, yeah I ended up getting 4 bushings even though I'm no crazy autocrosser, lol. I just don't want the axleback moving. I can't wait to install mine but I've got no word yet about Titan receiving it or shipping. Maybe next week.

I ordered mine from umnitza.com for over $100 less than that at $313.27. They are Sonar brand instead of Spyder but they are made by the same manufacturer. Sonar is the distributer in Taiwan and Spyder is the distributer in the US. They only sell the blacked out ones, not the smoked or redded. So the ones I ordered will look like the black car in the Phastek thread's video a few posts up.

Yep I did review that vendor and smoked was a must for me. Also you may want to check your warranty, because I thought theirs was 90 days and mine are 1 year...but that could have changed since I last reviewed that site.
