Borla Exhaust or Nameless? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

mervingee · 06-18-2014, 08:19 PM

I'm interested in getting an exhaust pretty soon, I've decided Borla or Nameless exhaust. Give me some tips and suggestions on what I need to buy other than the exhaust thanks!

IMO Perrin or Nameless are the legits to our cars... no other brands

The Perrin looks great. Never seen or heard it in person. I love my Nameless though

Borla with the diffuser would be my pick.

Do you want top quality or do you want it while you're still on your first engine?

I've got the Borla catback and I love it. Nice deep rumble, but still kinda subtle, until you start hammering it. It gets real good after 4000 rpm. Doesn't sound ricy or obnoxous. The only issues I have with it are that my tips are not even (that may just be from the guy that installed it though.), and since my car is lowered where the pipe bends under the suspension it is kinda low to the ground. I've scraped a few times going up driveways to gas stations. Just gotta be mindful. But I'm gonna take it to a good exhaust shop and see what they can do for me. But I highly recommend it.

I have the Perrin 3.0" and my tips were uneven after I put it on too. All I had to do was loosen the two V-Bands on the S pipe, the connection to the mid pipe and the connection to the muffler. Then I just twisted the S pipe to move the muffler and straighten the tips, then re-tighten the connection to the mid pipe first and then the muffler. Just make sure you have someone there who can tell you when it's even and that it stays that way while tightening it back up.

Hope that helps and KCCO!

Already tried that. Still couldn't get it right. I'm hoping a ship might know some magic voodoo trick that I can't think of. Might just need some cutting or bending, I hope not but my ocd need this to happen lol.

Nearly went Borla but went TRD instead. No tip issues whatsoever.

That's a pretty rash and unfounded conclusion.

Catbacks are all exactly the same. Some sound a little different, some are a couple pounds lighter, some are a little uglier, but they all give you the same basically-0 performance gain and which you choose is 100% preference.
