As others have said, this is one of the better and more "OEM-like" modifications you can make to your NA. Installation is really easy and the exhaust arrives in a well-packaged box to prevent any damage during shipping.
The look and sound fits the car perfectly. On an otherwise stock car, there is a little bit of extra lower end bass to the tone of the exhaust and zero rasp. As with any new exhaust, there is a small break-in period. As I put on additional miles, the sounds better and better.
I had bought this to replace an old off brand bazooka looking cat back PO had installed. It was so loud and obnoxious and was embarrassed to accelerate anywhere i went so i decided to buy this and im so happy i did. Can start the car on cool mornings and not wake the niebor hood but at the same time have a nice deep tone when on the throttle at high rpms. If your looking for that happy in between this is the go to exhaust!
This exhaust system looks great! It installed easily. The sound is good for shorter trips. Does drone on long trips. The second muffler started a mild rattle a year and a half after it was installed. The rattle was from the perforated interior pipe loosening on the entrance and exit pipes that it was slid onto.
Our exhausts have a lifetime warranty, so as long as there's no external damage to the muffler, we'll take care of the rattle. We'll reach out to Mark to get this taken care of.
The good:sounds great, built with high quality materials.
The bad:There's a significant amount of weld spatter on exhaust, even some on the tip. There's light scratching on the can. I expected better quality control from a $700 exhaust from FM.
We've been trying to get in touch with Ryan for a few weeks, but to no avail. This isn't normal and we'd love to get this figured out. Ryan, please reach out if you see this.
I waited for this exhaust to finally come back in stock because I trust FM. I trust their products, quality, and their reputation. Everyone knows this exhaust is great - I won't fault them there. It's beautiful, well made, and I have zero complaints. HOWEVER... the bolts weren't stainless and will rust out probably within a season. How on earth do you make such a nice exhaust and then provide the cheapest bolts you can scrounge together??? An absolute joke.
Ended up buying stainless bolts at a local store and paying even more for something that should have been provided from the beginning. This exhaust is more premium than an ebay junker - the parts included should reflect that.
I hope this isn't indicative of FM's other parts.
Hi Ashley - we're really sorry you feel that way about the bolts. They're actually zinc-plated (or should be, please reach out if they're not), and while they will eventually rust it should take a long time. We've had good success with these bolts over the last couple of decades, although stainless is a great option as well. We're glad you're so pleased with the exhaust otherwise!
