Exhaust suggestions?

Hello all! Noob here in the forums... Just picked myself up a 2015 FRS a few days ago and the exhaust is soooo quiet! I know to get the "Subaru" boxer engine sound you'll need UEL headers and exhaust but I have no idea where to start.

Any suggestions for setups with sound video links?


Also I'm on a budget so preferably more of a manageble price...



Not sure if anyone has tried this, but how will the stock exhaust sound with a resonator delete and a smaller muffler? Lol #ricer


Thanks y'all! Loving my new car (:

Hi there.

www.youtube.com is this fantastic new place where if you type in things like "BRZ Exhaust" it will return video results with, you guessed it, BRZ's with different exhaust setups!

I would highly suggest the Borla exhaust for the FRS/BRZ, it really sounds amazing, its quiet at idle, 0 drone, but it sounds super aggression and nasty, and its nice and deep, not a fart can exhaust.

Nope!

It sounds like it's trying to be like a WRX's exhaust note, but not quite getting it right. And even the Subie rumble on WRX's has been ruined by bros, IMO.

EL FTW!

Wow really friendly community here! So happy to join the FRS/BRZ/86 family.

Thanks Teseo for the thread link.

I'll be checking out and asking around at the local car meet coming up too.

Thanks for the info on the UEL headers too, I wasn't sure how well they'd work with the FRS.
