MXP RS or Works ABM?

That's awesome whats the exhaust build? I'm assuming because of the last post you said MXP RS or Works ABM. The MXP Comp RS is actually similar in sound as the invidia N1 I heard it at a car show which is on sale on fteightsix.com right now for near the same price of the MXP comp RS, I have yet to hear a works ABM in person. Honestly I would save up and get either the Greddy Supreme SP for $210 more or at that point get the nameless axle back.

I say this from experience, I ran the Berk Muffler delete for the better part of a year and never want to go back to having any semblance of drone, the AT is way more susceptible to this in drive as the drone frequencies seem to start at the 1500 rpm- 3500 rpm range where the torque converters stall speed is at. That's why I'd avoid it, unless you absolutely can deal with it.

Yeah screw muffler deletes, I don't think I'd be able to take it.
I know I want to leave the overpipe stock, not sure about the front pipe. Then I need to decide on a catback/axle back.
I've heard that the MXP has a pretty deep tone and that's what I was looking for.

I'm leaving the front pipe and over-pipe stock for 3 reasons:
1) No real power gain in an N/A application
2) Secondary cat helps with emissions and gets rid of the majority of the cat-less smell with our uels
3) Keeps harsh tones and frequencies out that normally create drone


The gains aren't worth it, I'd just stick to a catback and a header

Update on my CNT header. Installed 3.5 weeks ago, and I have a leak at the exhaust port even though I used brand new OEM gaskets :/ retorqued all the nuts and still leaking. However, I swapped out my HFC FP for OEM and installed a Tomei 80R catback and the sound is amazing. Very Subaru-ish (not what I was going for exactly, but still good). Will try and get a video soon.

Installed the nameless axleback and have had it for a day, it's absolutely awesome. I have no drone and it cruises quietly when I want to, but as soon as you get on the throttle more than 30-40% it comes alive with the classic subaru rumble. I will be posting videos soon because I love the way it sounds and as budget as it goes it's around $600+$250 for the header.

Do you happen to have a aftermarket front pipe with that combo? I'm curious because I'm currently running FA20club over, Invidia resonated front pipe, stock mid pipe and Berk track pipe. And I have high concerns with rasp. I've been told my resonated front pipe should prevent that from happening. So I was considering going with a Nameless axle plus mufflers.

Nope, everything is stock except for the header and axleback, I really don't like the catless smell

Here's the Audio and video of the CNT and the Nameless axleback paired together:

Put the stock FP back on. That'll kill most of the rasp. Other than that, you'll need to run a different exhaust, unless you don't mind drone and loudness.
