Which catback is for me? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

haavardnk · 08-29-2016, 10:10 AM

Hey,
Im looking to get a catback exhaust and i really dont know what to go with. Now i have a custom made axleback which is louder than stock but its not what im after. I want a deep dark rumble type sound and not the raspy type, and I also want it to be kinda loud, but still bearable as a daily driver. I've looked at the N1 and evo 3, but it looks like both of them suffers from highway droning? Anyone know any good alternatives? Looked at the Greddy evo 4, is that one any better with droning?
Im probably not going to get headers or any other mods due to emission laws...

Perrin 3' would be a good option.

Tcoat · 08-29-2016, 10:31 AM

TRD

haavardnk · 08-29-2016, 10:35 AM

How loud is the perrin 3" conpared to stock and compared to the N1? And would i go resonated or non reaonated? Dont like the quad tips of the trd:/

TRD Single tip.
Nice deep tone. Much louder than stock but not too annoying. No drone.

If you're not getting a header, get the N1. I have the N1+header and it's still bearable. After the carbon builds up/you get used to the sound, it's really not bad at all.

If you can get a perrin, get that though. I've heard many good things about it.

I have the MXP SP and love it.

Sounds good, nice and deep. In this video it was just the catback, not I have a catless OEM header and it still sounds good, definitely not too loud.

My N1 sounded great with stock setup. Now that I'm full catless with the N1, I feel like a double but I love the sound. Video does no justice.

If you like single exit, the FT86 Speed Factory V2 sounds great without a header. There's no highway drone as well.

Ditto! Get the Perrin 3 inch resonated. Deep low bass tone rumble. I got the 2.5 which is good enough for me. Best mod I've done to my 86. You won't be disappointed. I think Perrin had a 10% off sale. Got mine from DSG Performance.

The nameless axle back has worked for me:

Just be 100% you aren't going to upgrade your header. If you even think you might, get something that is considered quiet, or stay stock. Header will make any catback waaaay louder. My Q300 is even loud for me, after upgrading full exhaust

DAEMANO · 08-29-2016, 02:35 PM

MXP Comp RS is the best deep sounding exhaust I've heard. Even better than the more expensive MXP SP Catback posted above (although that one sounds great too).

TRD USA (which I own) is also quite deep sounding but it drones a little at 3000 RPM (which is highway cruising speed so that can become annoying). The D shaped tips look great though.
