Catted front pipe and mid pipe recomenations - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

blsfrs · 03-02-2022, 01:10 PM

I'm looking for recommendations for a catted front pipe and resonated mid pipe. Now that my header is catless, I thought that I might as well upgrade the rest of the system before retuning. I already have an aftermarket overpipe and a Borla axleback.

The quieter the better.

I really like my nameless front pipe. I run the 3" catted and resonated, they make a 2.5" as well. They are built to order though so the lead times can get a bit long and but they are built to what you want. So if you want to be able to mate it to a stock mid pipe they can put the correct flange on it to use the OE donut gasket. It replaces both the FP and OP so install may require that you unbolt the engine mounts and raise it up to snake it through.

Youre looking for a catted+resonated front pipe. JDL is the best option there is. But price will be your limiting factor. Get ready to spend $500+. I have a header, OP and catback. Front pipe is stock.

+1 on JDL Over-Frontpipe combo. I've had many JDL products stemming back to 2015 and all have been awesome, super high quality. Plus lifetime warranty. Can't beat that. Now I personally have Dual resonated 3 inch Over-frontpipe combo. and a 3 Inch JDL Single exit catback.

You can't go wrong with anything JDL. I also recommend Perrin's resonated catback.

Anybody have experience with PLM or Motiv products. Are they less expensive because they are that much lower quality?

That and PLM made knock offs of nameless and JDL parts.

Do you have the Helmholtz resonator?

Yes.

JDL and Nameless Combo is Front Pipe+OP. It does not replace the mid pipe which is the s-pipe that connects to the muffler. 99% of catback systems replace this pipe FYI. Axlebacks do not replace this pipe.

Works make a mid pipe that bolts to most axle backs but it seems like they want $10,000 for it.

Maybe I'll get 2 of them so I have a spare.

If your staying NA, stay with the stock mid-pipe and just get an axleback. If your going Catless Headers, you want as many resonators as you can get
