Invidia R400 or N2 ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Grey86 · 12-17-2018, 01:57 PM

So currently I’m buying a exhaust and debating between the r400 or N2 I know that N2 is a bit quieter then N1 but I honestly don’t know what that r400 will sound as a catback with half of it been stock (same would be for N2) I don’t want it to still sound like stock otherwise it’s a waste of money.
So any of you have experienced the two exhaust or could shed some light into these two exhaust.
Thanks

Can I recommend a different exhaust altogether or do you insist upon Invidia?

Neither.

You know you can try to go on Youtube and search up these exhaust for this platform and listen to them...

I recently installed the r400 and I am a big fan of it! I love the sound at cold starts but it doesn't wake up the neighbors, it has a great tone that makes you want to shift, never gets to loud at city speeds, and it does have a loud drone when cruising at autobahn speeds (~85 - 120 mph).

Let's start here. Are you planning to do any other exhaust modifications?

possible header with tune but other then that just the catback.

Consider your long term goals when buying a catback. If you plan to add a catless header then go with something quiet like a Perrin 2.5".

Otherwise buy based on the sound you like. catback systems don't add any real performance gains.

I opted for a Corsa system which which sounds great, but is designed around a otherwise stock exhaust.

If you're gonna get a header plan accordingly. I'd recommend a Dezod catback, Perrin, or another suitcase style muffler as they are the most quiet.

If you are planning on getting a header later than just get the Q300 or Perrin 2.5 resonated unless you want loud than the N1 would be the way to go and it will drone too

+1,

I personally LOVE how the Ark Grip sounds with aftermarket catless headers. No drone, and a deep and aggressive sound when you're up in the higher rev ranges! (Stock FP & OP when I had that set up)

If you had to pick between the two, I would get the R400 because I like how it looks/sounds.
