Default No drone zone

hey everyone. I got my 13 f sport back in February and have put an intake on so far. What a great car this is and don't see many on the road.

I had a 99 GS400 with an intake and greddy exhaust and boy did it sound sweet! Got louder with age and more drone at 2k rpms but sounded awesome.

Now looking for an exhaust that will sound great for and bring grins but will put me in the "no drone zone"!

i need input from those that have upgraded exhaust and your opinion on the sound and drone that it produces.
Sound clips are welcome!

Much appreciated guys!

Don

I think you would be okay with Invidia or JoeZ

Tanabe tends to be on the quieter side
A’pexi is on the louder side

Thanks for the feedback. The Borla is an interesting choice. Is that axle back?

I'm also eager to hear the video! I've been wanting to do an axle back on mine next. Currently running a Takeda Intake with the dry element filter. Gonna mount my new Continental Extreme Contact Sports today after work, VERY EXCITE (Borat voice). Does the Borla fit 2013 rwd FSport models? Its not listed on their site it only says 14 and up.

It will finally be nice to hear this exhaust on one of our club members cars. I'm assuming this exhaust would work on a 2013 since the 2014 and 15 are identical. The video that Borla has he has a great sound but you never can tell completely. Let us know if you are experiencing much drone under slight acceleration because that is my major concern. Thanks for sharing The sound clips with us.
