Favorite exhaust sound yet!!! BORLA - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Chad · 02-05-2013, 08:41 PM

So I did a search and couldn't find anything related to this in video form so I had to share. By far the sexiest sound I've heard coming out of these so far. May have to pick up something similar to one of these setups eventually. Check out their YouTube channel it's wicked!

I wonder if they drone.

Lawnik · 02-05-2013, 08:57 PM

each to their own

jshadeck · 02-05-2013, 09:06 PM

I can almost guaruntee they drone, id also be willing to bet 100$ they dont sound quite like that in person. I have a custom muffler delete and on camera it sounds "raspy" but in person it sounds great. Its such a deep and loud tone that, at least my iphone5, cant record it for crap other than idle

Heres idle

They're definitely loud. I saw past the raspy part because that's mostly just from the microphone. It's for sure not for everyone, I know I wouldn't put this on a daily driver but just loved the boxer growl they got out of them. Reminded me a little bit of a Subaru WRX with a Cobb exhaust that drives around my place.

husker741 · 02-08-2013, 12:24 AM

It's my favorite too. When I get my FR-S, I'm going with this exhaust, with the catted front pipe and an over pipe. Here is the link to videos inside and outside the car. There really is no drone at all.

You agree that it sounds like a picture of a car that has no sound? Alrighty then...

I kinda like it although I'm not sure I could live with it for a dd...

FT-86 SpeedFactory · 02-10-2013, 11:40 PM

The sound isn't for everyone and there are some things to consider when judging an exhaust system like this.

You guys have to understand that those videos above are a completely catless exhaust system. Yes, it is going to be loud and this car is going to be competing in TireRack's One Lap of America competition. It isn't a daily driven street car.

That being said, it still does not sound "ricey" at all. If you can't tell this system apart from a 3 inch system on a 1.6L Honda motor, then your ears are daft :P

The tone is much deeper and the rasp is not apparent when hearing it in person. Just some things to consider about this system and why it is so loud.

Anyways, here is the link to our thread in the technical forum discussing the Borla UEL header and the other exhaust pieces on our car.

So when I get mine installed, would you like to send a check or paypal the $100 to me?

SubieNate · 02-11-2013, 12:09 AM

For some reason I do not like the UEL sound on this car. On the Impreza? Fine, it's mean and nasty and a bit of a brutish car so it fits. This car is precise and agile, I want it to sound like a Porsche or Lotus or something of that nature. High revving and smooth.

campy · 02-11-2013, 12:32 AM

When it comes to exhausts, you really have to hear it in person. The videos don't do them justice. So far I haven't found an exhaust that doesn't sound "ricey". Drone is also something I'm particular on. My old Porsche 993 had an aftermarket exhaust on it and the drone was so bad you couldn't talk to the person in the passenger seat without yelling. You could hear that car coming from a mile away, for better or for worse
