Is this your video?
Was hoping you could follow up with how it sounded overall, because I wasn't able to find any follow-up video that you alluded to in the description. I have a PLM catless header and fully stock exhaust otherwise. Have an FT86MS front pipe on the way with the intentions of getting it to sound similar to this, though I still don't have much insight on how it sounds cruising and under load. |

Third video from post earlier I have a clip with a HKS catless dual resonated vs FT86MS Catted and resonated with the stock CB. Dual resonated had higher pitch and adds a little rasp mostly as low RPM. I liked the sound in cabin, especially with the rear seats down when you want a little extra noise. Catted and resonated is a little deeper sounding than stock. Only had that setup about a month before switching headers. Doesn't give you much but this clip I have HKS FP installed. If you can deal with the catless smell I liked this setup most for stock CB. Last edited by RToyo86; 02-05-2023 at 08:35 PM. |

Did you find any notable difference between the 13-16 and 17-21 catbacks? Most of the videos I've found of similar setups to mine would suggest the 17-21 is louder (which is why I went without a res/cat) but I have nothing to verify that. |

JDL 4-2-1, stock everything else (OP, FP, Catback). TBH the stock exhaust does sound solid when paired up with a header. Has good volume outside of the car, basically sounds stock inside the car. If you do like a bit of a deeper tone that's where you lose out with the stock catback. However, it's all a balance. The deep tone sounds good, but it drones! I had the Invidia R400 on my car for many years and loved the way it sounded in almost every driving situation, save for the 75-80mph highway sweet spot where it droned like hell. I could manage ok then, but for the last few years, not so much. My driving is almost 100% highway these days, and I'm 6 years older than I was when I got it so I seem to get headaches easier now lol. The drone when combined with the header became too much for me - I sold the R400 in the fall and put the stock catback back on. If anything, I may pick up the Fujitsubo Authorise S (or another mild axleback, can't seem to find much for the 17+ though) to re introduce a bit of tone, but I can't quite justify it yet.

I’m on the exact same boat. I love how quiet and drone free it is with the JDL 4 2 1 with the rest stock, but it’s hard to hear the car when you have a helmet on or if you are doing any high speed driving with the windows down. I genuinely considered r400 after seeing your videos but decided against it in case it was too loud (plus it seemed like it droned). |

I'll try to video one this weekend. tbh If your goal is to be able to hear it with a helmet on and windows down... I can hardly hear it with the windows down even in spirited driving. I'm actually going to sell it soon because its too quiet, even for a street car. The tone is very muted to almost OEM levels and zero character. So yeah its quiet.
