Sakura Street Owners Please Respond
Looking for feedback from Sakura Street owners.
I am planning to pull trigger on exhaust within days. I really like looks, and workmanship of Sakura Street, but I do not want any drone at all over stock.
The alternative (safe play) is the Invidia Q300, but not fond of blue tips.
At some point I will have a downpipe/high flow cat included, so keep that in mind.
Thanks!

If it were not for the horrible Canadian dollar I would have snagged one myself. I would have to pay well over $2000 to get this exhaust to my door though :|

Really? They are listing for 895US on their web site. Why so much in CAN?
Thanks for the replies others. I was hoping for more firsthand accounts rather than reputation and reading posts. I've read just about every post there is, and it doesn't make it real clear.
The only concern I have is the minimalistic appearance of it, and the later plans to go with HFC, and tune. But I love the look, design, workmanship and most important, the appearance of the tips. They look perfect for me. My alternative is the Invidia but not a fan of burn tips, nor rolled tips. I like the look of the beveled appearance of the Sakura. The other appeal is the durability in the NE weather.

Captain, my post was confusing as you point out. What I meant was that it looked like it had minimal baffling and might be loud. I wanted to insure there was no drone, but I like the fine welding including the finish on the exhaust tips.
Still would love to hear from an owner.

To the OP, I have a 2014 Evo X GSR. I too was interested in the Sakura exhaust I listened to multiple sound clips of the Sakura on YouTube and also had conversations with numerous Sakura exhaust owners on the forums on evolutionm.net. I was warned that even thought they said the sound was great there was some drone although they said not terrible.
I had an opportunity to purchase a slightly used Corso exhaust (my 2nd choice) but passed on it because I felt the Sakura sounded more exotic than like a v8 (Corsa). I was guaranteed that the Corsa does not drone. I should have listened.
Coming out of a modified (loud) Evo IX I did not want drone ... with the Sakura I got it.
If you want to hear your radio or carry on a phone conversation at 60mph in 5th gear look elsewhere. All I have is a high flow cat and it is loud and drones.
I wish I jumped on the Corsa when I had the chance.
Hope this helps, good luck.

Here is a picture of my trunk with Dynamat SuperLite sound deadener. I couldn't even live with the stock exhaust's drone, so I bought this and it reduced the drone about 2/3 and I am happy:

I ordered one box and I'm not quite sure the exact amount. It was likely the 18" x 32" Dynamat SuperLite tri-pack which weighs about 4.2 lbs.

Thanks 911. With uncertainty, and Christmas craziness, I didn't actually pull trigger yet. When I say drone, I mean both the resonation inside cabin, but also the exhaust itself being a bit too loud. I am actually between the corsa and Invidia leaning towards the latter just to be safe on the drone, and noise. I would have pulled the trigger long ago on this one, but not fond of the burnt tips.
The Dynamat is looks like a great idea I think I will do anyway.
