PLM Header, overpipe, frontpipe, midpipe, and exhaust?

[HOBrien79]

I have tried to search for a review or anything from someone who is running PLM header, PLM overpipe, PLM frontpipe, PLM midpipe, and PLM axleback exhaust.

Is anyone running this or any input on doing this idea? The total is about $1600 for all the pieces. This would be going on a stock 2014 FR-S.

They build knock offs so most of what you read about them will be negative because of that. The quality of their parts from pictures I have seen is lacking from people who have actually bought their parts.

So your saying people who have bought the part are saying they are better quality than what the pictures show?

Is CNT the same as in knockoffs or doing their own thing. I'm a middle aged man that is trying to save for retirement but also have fun in a car. LOL

The welds were okay but a bit poor in some places. Also some sealing issues. Some positive reviews out there. You are welcome to buy what you like. I am just putting out there that these don't have a great rep. Some people have no issues. The last link is a header they used to make, it is a copy of the old nameless long tube. nameless is local to me and I run their parts so stuff like this urks me when a little custom shop puts something to market and a company rips it off. Others have different opinions on it which is okay. There are other economical options out there too. What are you going to run for tuning?

How loud are you wanting the car to be? Have you factored in a tuning solution to budget?
Willing to bet that full setup is going to be quite loud.

Header/overpipe is a good starting point. I'd opt for quality header over a full PLM system, then decide if you want a catback later.

I do not want and extremely load setup but I want the air to flow freely. Hence the change in all piping but keeping one of the cats. Yes tuning has been factored into my overall cost. I don't have to worry about paying for installation of parts. I will be doing the work except tune but will be going with OFT for that.

I'd just look for a Gruppe-S header or a Tomei and a decent axleback or catback. CSG touring sounds good and is not loud. No real need to replace frontpipe or overpipe which will save you money. I'd also look at a flex fuel tune if you have E85 in your area. A stock exhaust car on E85 will make as much power as full exhaust on 91.

I ran a PLM front pipe for a few weeks and decided to go get a jdl because it sounds like absolute shit. Still havent sold it either, probably because it sounds so bad.
