Ever have one of those days when you want to play the song of your people with your friends but you feel like you're just humming along in the audience? Well you wouldn't be the first of our customers who has wanted to get more sound out of their existing Invidia Q300 or R400 Gemini exhaust by swapping to a Nameless Performance Muffler Delete Axleback. We get this question on a regular basis and hate to see our customers have to sell one product to buy another. So why not both!? Upgrading the axleback section of your existing exhaust provides you the benefit of now having two optional sound levels for your vehicle which can be swapped out with relative ease. The exhaust tips are 3.5" diameter and available in polished stainless or neochrome.
DESIGN
Featuring bolt-up factory fit flanges and hangers and manufactured in our facility in Woodland, Washington, USA, we take pride in the details of our exhaust systems and invest the best into what we build for our customers:
BENEFITS
A simple modification like the replacement of the back muffler box on a car can transform the day to day driving experience for the owner of the vehicle, and this exhaust is no different. We love to claim that the first and foremost benefit to our exhaust systems are that they sound incredible and really make driving more enjoyable. Baffled/chambered mufflers are an amazing invention of science, with the ability to cancel specific frequencies of sound to provide a near silent operation. For those of us who are enthusiasts, however, mufflers and resonators that are designed like the factory ones are provide us with zero feedback. Switching to a muffler delete promotes more tone across the powerband and a free flow exhaust design.
Beyond the sound signature and improvement in powerband, the most noticeable difference in the addition of our exhaust is the weight savings of 25 pounds!. The replacement of a packed and baffled muffler with a straight section of tubing or straight through muffler design generally nets 8-12ft lb on the STi and 6-8ft lb on the WRX.
SPECIFICS/OPTIONS
Tip Configuration: We offer this axleback exhaust with 3.5" Single Wall tips to achieve a larger than stock sizing on the tip without being oversized. Optionally we offer two color configurations
Installation & Hardware: Installation is a snap with basic hand tools. Removal of the factory exhaust requires removing four bolts and four exhaust hanger bushings from the Q300 / R400 muffler. Each side of our axleback exhaust system is then hung from the factory exhaust hanger bushings and bolted to the Q300 / R400 Gemini midpipe. We provide upgraded nuts, bolts and replacement gaskets that are used when re-installing the upgraded exhaust, as well as a pair of three hole urethane exhaust hanger bushings. Hold the tips centered in the cutout in the bumper and tighten the nuts to ~20ft lb with hand tools.
SHIPPING
We recommend choosing standard FedEx Ground shipping for a 1-5 day turnaround time depending on your location. Shipping prices range between roughly $30-45 for ground shipping to the lower 48 states. International and Alaska/Hawaii rates may vary. You can check your direct shipping cost by putting the parts in the shopping cart, choosing 'view cart' and then estimating the shipping using the tools in the cart. We also offer USPS Priority Shipping as well as a FedEx 2 Day and Overnight option, but generally recommend that our customers wait a few more days and invest that extra money into their car.
