Subaru WRX: CHEAP Vs. EXPENSIVE Exhaust!
Рет қаралды 93,266
Күн бұрынWhich exhaust sound do you prefer between the cheap and expensive setup? In this video I compare the FactionFab axle-back (muffler delete) to a Tomei single exit cat-back with a resonated j-pipe. Totals for both setups, if you want to run them on your car, come to around $300 and $2,000 each. Is it worth spending $2,000 for a loud exhaust setup or does the $300 one sound better?

I’m jumping in a bit late but I just watched the video. In all honesty I would prefer the red wrx exhaust note. I’m sure the other exhaust has Benidorm of better flow, but when it came to sound…. Red hands down. Maybe he video changed the exact sound but I have a stock 2017 wrx and I would go the less expensive option. Stay safe and thanks for the video. Both cars look really nice. Our roads in Australia would ruin your body kits hahaha

Bro. This reminded me when I tried different exhausts on my car. Did an axle back on stock downpipe. Then switched it up to catback on stock downpipe. Then finally love the current setup perf. downpipe and muffler deleted catback. Almost close but subtle to your FRS, a lil deeper tone on idle

What do you have done under the hood vs your friend? It would be nice to see a full build comparison to get a better understanding of what else is contributing to the sound. I’ve got COBB Big SF intake, Boomba BPV, IAG AOS, AP, and the FF Axle back (on back order). Would like to see how close our builds are to get a better understanding of how mine will sound. Both cars sound amazing though. I would give the win to the Tomei if you have the funds. But FF does sound really nice for low budget.
