27WON FL5 Exhaust System

[nattypiso]

Exactly my thoughts! Although this topic of sound is 100% subjective.. I must say I love the sound of rumbling V8s, who doesn't? However, I am very picky when it comes to exhaust sounds on smaller output engines (4 cylinders). There's a difference between noise vs good sound. Old school Subaru STI had a good sound. I want some sound there when I put my foot down, but I don't want noise when I'm cruising just for the sake of being louder. Also not a fan of pops and bangs on these small engines, sounds like literally fire crackers, I don't want firecrackers in my muffler lol.

That’s the one of the bad things about the K20C1.. it’s pretty hard to make these Type R’s sound decent without too much raspiness, due to the integrated exhaust manifold that’s built into the head or so called “headifold”, the only way to really alter or change the sound is downpipe and exhaust. No more upgrading the exhaust manifold like older K engines sadly. But having an integrated exhaust manifold does come with its benefits, which I’ll gladly take over altering the sound.

And I agree with the pops and bangs, only exception is if the car pops from real HP, not from a simple tune that everyone does nowadays.

I’m guessing y’all are working on both a cat-back and full turbo-back version like you offer on the FK8? If so, hopefully both options keep the valve.

Yes, there will be both and are both valved.

I would also assume that they plan on including a front pipe with their exhaust system, just like they did with the FK8 version.

I do have an upgraded Turbo/Downpipe already installed as well, so I hope their front pipe is universal and can easily cater to people who are still using the OEM DP or an aftermarket one from another company.

As for resonated vs non-resonated, It could be possible for different versions, but as far as them implementing the OEM valve, it would make sense for them just manufacture only a muffler version for now. And if they plan for it, maybe a non-resonated with no valves would be nice!

I like the deeper tone of stainless steel over titanium as well, so it won’t hurt me if they don’t plan for that too.

The FP will be compatible with OE and aftermarket downpipes so all good there.

Can we start pre-order list now? Based on order of reply to this thread. This is fair right? lol

But seriously I can’t wait. The only issue with this car is the exhaust and 27WON is the only option I am excited for.

I'm excited too. Looks like they are making their own Invidia Q300. I was excited for Invidia with mufflers and then they only released the R400

I think the biggest reason 27WON is waiting is so that they can actually meet the initial demand on launch, instead of selling a few and then forcing everyone else to wait. I can appreciate this approach.

That makes sense. Given how closely we are watching this, hopefully we all get that first round of orders.

Definitely makes sense. Pretty sure QC is working overtime on the forseen demand as well. Wouldn't want the first batch to have any issues. Definitely don't mind waiting for a quality product ??.

So excited for the launch. Alongside the exhaust, I think I'll buy the 27WON RMM. Might as well change the RMM out while there's no exhaust in the way

 

[Tougefl5]

@27won you should take deposits before these guys change there mind lmfao ?

 

[DNTypeR]

Lol

I mean if the exhaust matches at least 70 percent what is portrayed on that video, I will pay for it now just to get it first and ASAP!
