How does anyone feel about the mxp comp rs? A lot of things I’ve been searching always end up to that exhaust

ACE Laguna 90 is nice. (Relocate your reverse light)

If you are interested in just an axleback, the Fujitsubo Authorize S is louder than stock, but not excessive. They have both a '13-16 and '17+.

I'll say either depending on the situation, which means it's probably about perfect for a sporty exhaust.

I'll +1 that to a purely otherwise stock system. It has the perfect dual personality for a DD.
If you're willing to use Catted headers, they work too.
The Corsa system is 41 pounds which I think is heavier than the stock setup lol.

The STi axleback is interesting. I haven't heard that on anything with headers yet.

I haven't had any issues with my Perrin 2.5" resonated in CA. Have driven by cops (sometimes at full throttle) with no issues.

I have it and love it! The sound never gets old, cops leave me alone (I commute daily to downtown LA), it turns plenty of heads, and keeps a smile on my face. It has a nice deep tone, not drone-y and will give you some pops. Whichever exhaust you decide, just be sure to listen to plenty of different audio clips. FT86speedfactory had a good promo video for this exhaust. I'd say the audio comes close, but not what you hear in person.

Can't go wrong with the TRD exhaust. If your budget is <$1k, perhaps find one used.

86prime · 02-14-2020, 03:08 PM

Value, looks, and sound... Next time, please define "Best"

41 lb is the nominal shipping weight I believe. IIRC, someone in the owners thread actually weighed it and compared it to the stock exhaust and it was lighter.

Second the Corsa, it sounds amazing.

I still got ticketed for it though. BS that they can just write a ticket and not even have to measure the decibels right then and there.

Vote for the Gredddy Supreme. Nice sound, great fitment and build quality, and under $800

Revving in neutral video doesn't tell the whole story, ripping to the top of 3rd gear makes intoxication noise.

I'm still on stock catback because I can never settle on something. I love the compRS but it's not 304 stainless, so I know it'll rot... Unfair

California.... So weird that an exhaust tone is a legal concern but not an influx in ILLEGAL immigrants.

Still doing heavy research because you know spending money on something your not happy with is bad. So I have came down to three choices so far with everyone here’s helpful information.

It’s between the
mxp comp rs
Corsa and
Tanabe touring.

Hopefully will be purchasing one by the end of this week
