No pics yet, but yesterday I installed the an intake tube, MXP header, over pipe and cat back. It took about 3.5 hours for the entire process. The parts are all well made and were incredibly easy to install. I'll tell you what, it's a hell of a lot louder! I get a little drone at 3000 rpm's, but I'm incredibly happy with the sound and power output. That stock over pipe is a PITA to get out...i had to remove the heat shields to make enough room to wiggle it out.

Looking for pics as well, I've thought about trimming the BRZ mustache like this as well

cwpbrz-ji starter Comments:

(imo) Above additions, sans bling, allow car to breathe a little easier, put a little more rubber on the road, and reduce a little (total automobile) weight.

I would like to mass thank FT86 Club members for providing a fantastic research facility. Your ongoing contributions made my choices much easier and I sincerely thank you for this!

I like to work on my vehicles, but due to losing my shop, tools, etc. to a recent fire I asked WORKS Motorsports, at Sonoma Raceway, to do my wrenching, and was quite pleased with their service/work!

Non-pictured Extras:

WORKS Motorsports T-shirt

Autographed photo of WORKS BRZ ‘racecar’

Giro ~ Monaco, color: Blue Jewel (looks like HB) Cycling gloves (for driving) to honor and welcome 2016 Hyper Blue owners.
Thank you for the kind words! We're glad we could help!

Here's another photo with the car done; has a nice aggressive look now. Cheers.

I did a pits stop in Ottawa and got me some winter tires at SLICK. Excellent service as usual. I am thrilled to have these guys work on my car.

Nokian Hakapaliitta R2. So far I am quite impressed. The car definitely has a different feel to it and they are not too loud. I'm ready for winter and I can't wait to try them out in snowy conditions.

I got mine on last week. Very nervous about driving in snow after all I've heard. I will use my wife's car when it's really bad but hope to drive my brz the rest of the time.

The twins aren't bad at all with snow tires. We had a decent amount of snow last year in the north east and I had no issues with my blizzak Lm32s. The only issue is being low to the ground and plowing snow.

I installed my winter tire that are mounted on the stock wheel, wanted to wait another week or 2 since the weather should not drop too low but the potenza that came with my volk racing were lacking in tread depth. Specially the rear two. Don't know how that might have happen...

Installed my Perrin CBE. It's actually quieter than the stock CBE with catless titanium frontpipe. Also plate bracket and shift bushings came in.

Then after I finished, I came up with a unique way to get down from rhino ramps. If you have your front wheels chocked for extra safety, just leave them chocked and give the gas a good push. Fastest you'll ever be off ramps. Guaranteed.
