Been a while since i have been on here due to selling my Blobeye.
But, have seen a nice BRZ for sale, and am very tempted. The question i have, is about the exhaust/sound. They are a little tame in standard form. Does anyone know what is available as an aftermarket system/back box etc, to make it a little more vocal?
Anyone own one on here, and advice/comments much appreciated.
Thanks.

you can get supercharger kits for them

cobra do systems for them,

Miltek have a range of exhaust options.

Litchfield Motorsport use Miltek pipes in conjunction with their supercharger kits to bring them up to 280bhp.
I'm very tempted in getting a new toy myself!

Thanks Guys, some useful information there.
Much appreciated.
Hopefully going to view the car in next few days.

You can get unequal length exhaust manifolds if you're looking for them to be a bit less boring sounding.

I'd be careful with Miltek, there's a few complaints on the owners forums about them cracking. A lot of the exhaust stuff that Tuning Developments have made seems to be well regarded, especially their NA tuning package.

I wouldn't personally, it'll have an effect on the performance. That and you're making it sound like something it isn't, which is a bit tragic.

That will reduce performance and require work on the engine.

Did I mention that you slap a turbo on the end of them?

Plenty of UEL manifolds out there which show power increases on the BRZ...

Power is useless without driveability. Attaching a turbo does not make for a better car.

Cosworth do a nice supercharger kit for them as well

Why does adding a turbo worsen drive-ability ?

Very expensive though. Although from what i've seen Cosworth did a hell of a lot of development work, so you're getting a very well engineered kit.

Tidgy

initial turbo lag could be seen as being a step back, n/a is just plant and go

Tidgy

yeah not cheap, clinic have been playing with one and have put syvecs on it so it runs all 8 injectors. wasnt far off 300bhp and pretty linear step up across the whole rev range

Or in the BRZ's case, plant and just about go until the revs are high enough...

I’m yet to drive a turbo’d 86/BRZ but I wouldn’t have thought so. The standard car has quite a significant torque dip in the midrange which almost feels like turbo lag if you’re nlt careful.

That’s not bad going. Though various forums seem to suggest the rods become a bit of a concern much past 280bhp.

Although on the subject of Scooby Clinic, there’s a piece in Jap Performance mag this month on the BRZ they built for gymkhana and it makes it sound like an EJ20/4wd conversion is surmising easy (using bits from the newage Impreza).

Tidgy

haha if only it were that easy. Anything is possible with the right skill set and expertise though

Well the article suggests there's an awful lot of cross over in parts, so most of the installation was a bolt together job. The only bits they seemed to have tweaked were the engine mounts (just to move the engine forward slightly).
