Are my exhaust tips too long?
 
Today had installed custom made exhaust to my 2021 BRZ. With increased diameter of 60mm.

Mufflers are too close to the rear transmission and can’t go any further in.

It seems to me that tip ends are just too far away. What do you think? Should I cut them some 2cm? Or deeper to cut out all burned out end? Or maybe cut them angled to match rear diffuser?

What do you think?

It really comes down to personal preference. I don't think they are too extreme on length.

DarkPira7e 09-15-2022 02:20 PM

If you cut the tips at an angle, it'll look badass. It's ok as-is though

Thefalls 09-15-2022 05:01 PM

It really comes down to personal preference .

I would have them tucked a bit inside, the body of the backbox is too visible. :)

Unfortunately not possible as then the muffler will rub rear transmission parts

Teppka 09-15-2022 05:21 PM

I’m also afraid that if I’ll cut the tips they will look too short and not like an exhaust tip but like a round peace of sheet welded to the muffler.

tobin 09-15-2022 07:47 PM

I don't know that I'd circumcise those, but yes, they stick out too far. If the top of the tip aligned with the cutout, they'd look great. Can the shop pull back the muffler assembly further towards the front of the car?

Clipdat 09-15-2022 10:13 PM

Besides the tips being blue, it looks fine.

2020BRZtS 09-15-2022 11:03 PM

I like it. I wish mine stuck out a few mm further. You'll know they stick out too far when you burn your leg on a summer day leaning over to get in the trunk.

bcj 09-15-2022 11:20 PM

It's about right for JDM. They made them tuck under for the US market.

Unfortunately no, muffler is too long to go any further in

Teppka 09-16-2022 01:44 AM

Thanks for suggestions. If I’ll cut the tip straight at the border where blue color starts, would it be too short for a tip?

Clipdat 09-17-2022 01:21 AM

Don't cut them.

Teppka 09-17-2022 08:05 AM

Some more photos. I think cutting them right at the edge where blue color ends will be just right. Maybe slightly angled.

They're good

PulsarBeeerz 09-17-2022 03:24 PM

They look fine!

Clipdat 09-17-2022 06:31 PM

Are there silencers installed inside the canisters? Looks like a big exhaust tip but a smaller actual exit pipe inside.

humfrz 09-17-2022 08:59 PM

I suggest you leave them alone. They look fine.

No, on the photos silencers are not installed.

soundman98 09-18-2022 02:31 AM

you know, most guy's are always looking for ways for a bigger tip, few want smaller!

My car is stock with no mods outside except for wheels which are almost as stock, not wide. So I’m not looking for crazy aggressive exhaust tips.

I think stock tips look awesome. And since with this setup it’s impossible to use custom tips I’m trying to bring these kind of closer to where the stock tips were. A little further in. The problem is I don’t know how they’ll look like trimmed. But I’ve seen lots of pictures of similar exhaust installations where tips are more in and they look awesome. Some sample pictures I found in the internethttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...762c864d64.jpg

Just drive the car as is and enjoy it my dude.

soundman98 09-18-2022 12:30 PM

do they stick too far out for me? yes. i'm grinding them down and making them an angle cut.

there'd be no blue left when i'm done with them!

Exactly my plan :)

Clipdat 09-18-2022 06:22 PM

You can't see them while you are driving the car so who cares! :)

spike021 09-19-2022 01:34 AM

You should extend them the full distance:

Looks Much Better, IMHO.. :thumbsup:

(They looked like Shin Killers before)

clio 12-07-2022 05:48 PM

I'd be taking it one step further and slash cut them to conform to the diffuser. Each to their own I guess.

churchx 12-08-2022 03:48 AM

Length wise after cut they look better.
But IIRC that Ti burnt finish probably costs extra, so that money went down the drain.
As it's custom made, it's mistake of either customer not voicing wish of specific length, or maker messing up a bit during design phase, or due reusing ready components (those tips look as welded part of mufflers?) + clearance limits.
At end it's all fine if you, as owner, are happy with result. Some extra costs and some extra time needed to reach it .. well, things happen :iono:

Looks much better now, well done!

It’s a little less complicated than that. Local shop had all mufflers imported with tips burn, so I had nothing to choose from. Selection of shops doing custom exhaust setups is very, very limited where I live. So there you have it.

Thanks. Had to cut a tiny bit deeper than intended but I wanted to make sure the burn blue color is gone. Though I’m happy with final results.

Teppka 01-27-2023 12:58 PM

Well, the exhaust sound was so deep that I had to install silencers which brought it it to perfect tone. Love the sound, didn’t like their mirror finish look of the silencers:

Painted silencers in matte black, here is the final look:
