Catback Recommendations - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

amaciose · 02-14-2014, 01:49 PM

I'm sure there are already a bunch of threads similar to this, but I'm having trouble finding any comparisons with the Tsudo downpipe/catback exhaust.

I would prefer to keep the volume on the quiet side, and nothing that screams aftermarket. I am mainly just looking for a bit of a deeper and fuller sound. From the few videos I've seen of it, it looks like the Tsudo has the sound I'm looking for, but was curious how the volume compares to stock.

Would anyone recommend looking at anything else? I've also considered the Q300 and the TRD, but I can't justify the price.

Thanks!

I ordered a q300 copy off of ebay. For the price I didn't think I could go wrong. i will report back with results. It sounds like you are on a budget like myself.

I'm not necessarily on a tight budget, but the fact that the Tsudo is one of the cheapest I've seen is a huge plus. It's less than half the price of the TRD. If I can find exactly what I'm looking for I'll pay for it.

Looking forward to your review though!

Perrin 2.5 Resonated, call it day!

I am considering the Dezod one.

If you can afford it, TRD catback with a Nameless catted and resonated Downpipe/Overpipe combo. Amazing sound and performance.

I checked out the video of that setup and agree it sounds great, but can't see myself putting that on my own car. Would like to find a combination that doesn't attract too much attention.

Then you should just do the TRD catback. I'm sure you could find a cheap used one too if it comes to that. I just have the TRD catback right now and it sounds amazing without attracting too much attention, unless you're like me and go WOT every chance you get.

You won't see ANY gains with an exhuast, find a sound u like and buy it.

Yeah, the TRD has everything I'm looking for except the price. Was just hoping to find a cheaper alternative.

Someone else posted a video of a Tsudo system that I thought sounded just as good, if not better than the TRD. This is the only good video I've seen of it though, was wondering if anyone else knows how it compares to more known systems in terms of volume.

Isis and Tomei 60s, are the best ones.

Just to add to the collection

The OP is asking for something on the quiet side, a Tomei 60s is far from quiet.

The Perrin is deep and very tame (2.5, resonated) - a Nameless with 5" mufflers is louder but still not super obnoxious. Q300 will be close to stock.
