Pekingduck FR-S first impressions and buildup thread

[Pekingduck]

Put on whiteline front under brace, I notice quicker turn in and a bit stiffer over bump. I have clearance issues with going over speed bump with the brace.

I added Seibon DV carbon fiber hood, I notice the vent make a difference I average on level surface cruising about 70mph about 175f and with the hood about 165-170.

Added Tomei 80 exhaust

Added TRD Carbon Fiber Fender garnish

[Pekingduck]

Got the hood painted and installed the aerolatch

Why take of the splitter? It looked so clean with it.

The car kept oversteering at high speed cornering without a wing. I am trying to figure out a way without adding a wing to the car

I was actually thinking about getting the same body kit. Then i was like " You know what would look clean? Adding the APR splitter." I googled to see if it would fit and bam someone already did it haha. I plan on getting the nur spec wing to it too. Nice car man, I will follow your build!

I think nur spec wing would go well with the style of the five axis and hopefully correct the high speed stability. When I saw the car with kit I thought it was to tame for sema so I call up apr and they added it for me.

My goal orginally was a single exit mainly for looks and weight reduction. I switched from a DC Sports exhaust to a Tomei 80mm. I ran the exhaust for about two months but would like to state my FRS is not a daily driver. Having no cat on the header and replacing the front pipe made my car a screamer and it drones from 3.5-5.5k. At cold start my car would be 108db and when I recently dynoed it at Evasive it was at 114db. Needless to say I got pulled over for the Tomei being too loud on the way to the track. Due to this I began my search for a 70mm and stainless steel exhaust once again and decided to hit up my friend at Evasive to pick up their exhaust.

Initially I didn't like how the exhaust connected but since its slip joint, it allowed me to adjust the position of the exhaust and the tip. The note of the exhaust is perfect, absolutely no drone in any rpm which is helpful when going up a hill with a wide open throttle without the downshift. The exhaust is a lot quiter and cold start measured at 100db. Exhaust seem to have good welds. The exhaust does hang low so I have to be aware when going over speed bumps. The exhaust is nice when put on a lift.


In conclusion great exhaust for people concerned about noise in relation to catless header and straight front pipe, budget friendly, and want a 70mm size.

I have this exhaust...have had it for about 3 yrs now. Be careful with the fitment as it could cause damage to your rear bumper.

I like the note of the exhaust but have been extremely disappointed with fitment. The tip is off center regardless of how I play around with the slip-joints and only gets worse over time (I.e., after I adjust closer to the center, it slowly offsets itself again over time). Even the pics of the EVS BRZ with this exhaust show how it's off to the side of the cutout. For me, it eventually began to melt the area around my rear bumper after an autocross and got worse after a track day. Just be careful.
