For a mere 4K, you can get your GT86 to sound like. . . a GT86

This is a full titanium exhaust by tommy kaira. . . kind of stupid if you ask me. It doesn't add that much power and you lose about 15lbs over an aftermarket system. It also sounds kind of meh.

My 500 dollar Invidias sounded better.

Wait...4 k. Like, 4 x 1000 x $. Four thousand dollars. Right? Does a turbo kit for this car even cost $4,000?

You could buy a trans am for that... and still have money left over for GT86 parts

I think turbo kits are around that price point, but still this exhaust is WAY over priced. I could get my full exhaust(headers, frontpipe, etc.) a new set of wheels, a new radiator, and a new tune.

Never mind, a part crosses over into the box and then the exhaust exits, it's a bad angle.

That is basically how the stock exhaust is set up. . . causes a lot of back pressure.

You could buy a 3rd Gen roller, do an LS swap on it, and still have enough left over to put down and a GT86 DD for that...

$4000 for 15 lbs weight reduction? Screw that, I'll just start jogging.

Funny thing is someone on the forums said the same thing.

So...for four-fucking-thousand dollars, it's not even better than stock???

What the hell are you buying, then? The 'Tommy Karia' plate? You could have a local welder fab that up for not-even-close-to $4K if thats what you want...

I haven't bought one yet, although I know what I am going to get, do you have a suggestion?

Thought you might like the DC Auto Sports exhaust. Slightly more expensive but sounds nice.

Those sound really nice, but I have heard some bad things about the metal they use(which is prone to rust). . . I am not quite sure about this one.

But will it make an FR-S sound like a GT86?

How about a BR-Z? Could totally use some more '86.

Wait they make a BRZ. . . I didn't know.

Nope. Sounds like something is rattling around in there. I would call that "opened up" not tuned. I could make the same sound with a test pipe and universal magnaflo.
