Anyone local with aftermarket exhaust yet? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Areddi · 09-05-2012, 10:07 PM

Car is still on order, hoping to get an update soon. In my time of salivation and anxiety, I have been doing a lot of research on cat-backs. Seems that many companies jumped on the band-wagon and made quick systems, but only a few seem to have anything that is half-way decent.

Thus far I would say that the Borla one sounds the best to me. Deep and toney, not too loud or too ricey. Coming from Mustangs to the Miata I have now, I was impressed with how the Mazda engine stayed toney and not ricey. Many of the exhaust systems I have seen for this car thus far are getting into Civic territory, which is land I never ever want to tread into. I have had Borla systems before and was always impressed with their quality and sound, as well as a performance bump.

Does anyone local have anything aftermarket yet, or have you seen anything other than the internet videos that we have all seen? I would love to get to hear one in person, and hear thoughts anyone has.

I've got the Nameless. Love it.

There has been a lot of positive stuff on their axle back so far. The quality on internet videos is always hit or miss, but thus far it has sounded pretty good.

Not too ricey?

Not ricey at all and virtually 0 drone when cruising down the interestate.

I have a nameless axle-back and track pipe.

Depends on demand. So far, a lot of response has been to NOT have a big chrome tip, since it's single-sided and that would sort of highlight the fact that there's no tip (no pipe at all, for that matter) on the other side.

We plan to have a dual-sided one with tips on it. Haven't gotten around to fabbing it up yet.

i'd be interested in a stubby version with just a turndown.

Got my BRZ yesterday and have an SRT cat-back ordered but they are just getting finished with their header-back orders and I hope they get the cat-back production rolling soon......
