Invidia N1 exhaust question - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

nelsonzep · 06-25-2015, 09:59 AM

I recently purchased the invidia n1 catback and after i first install it the note was amazing and was super loud, highway ruising around 3k rpm was deafening but after a monththe note is the same but nore the exhaust i substantially quieter where it was deafening before i now can barely hear it at highway speeds jw if this is supposed to happen or if something messed up on the exhaust or what? Even WOT is quieter now than when i first purchased it and noise levels are.much quieter

Exhausts kind of "break-in". I have my doubts whether it's 100% due to carbon build up like many people say, or getting used to the sound or even hearing loss due to the noise.

LOL^ This

Yeah every exhaust I've had has done that with carbon build up

My ti tips are black, probably because I throw fireballs out tho.

I have the same exhaust and yes that's normal. Nothing wrong with it. This is common on aftermarket exhausts. If you want it louder you're gotta look it at replacing your front pipe or header with catless ones

Already have a namless over/front pipe with no resonator and no cats ordered so this will put it back to around its original loudness or louder than initially? and it should stay around that volume after i install the piece?

If you want loud, get a catless header. Enjoy the drone though. Dual canister style = drone with a header. Sounds really good though otherwise.

I don't think the overpipe will make much difference but the catless front pipe will probably make it as loud as it was originally. But that's just a guess. If you went catless header, then I'm 100% sure it will be louder than the original sound even after break in period. Full catless with an N1 exhaust is beast.
