Recommendation regarding exhaust and headers
 

I've recently bought a new Toyota 86 and I would like to make some improvements. It's a 2017 model. I did read this post and it's very helpful but I already found previously this video on Youtube: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js_0UqFnCwQ"]FT86 Speedfactory Catted Header + Full Exhaust - In-cabin and drive-bys - YouTube[/ame] and that's the combination I like. I did found this page: http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/exhaust-37.html but I am not an expert so I need some help choosing the pieces to get what I am seeing on the video.

- Can anyone help me to choose them?
- What do you think about this combination?
- What are the pros/contras?

Any advice from your side?

Hello reynierpm, congratulations on your new car and welcome to ...... The Forum ...... :clap:

You may wish to elaborate on your primary use and plans for your car.

Will it be a daily driver..??

Do you plan on forced induction in the future .. ??

What are you looking for in a exhaust modification (increased power? Just more sound?).

Do you have a budget for exhaust modifications .. ??

don't mean to hijack the thread, but if let's say I am planning on FI in the future, how should that affect my choices?

Would depend on the route your planning to go with FI (turbo or SC)

If by daily you mean go from home to work and viceversa then yes
What induction means? Sorry for my ignorance
Both, I would like to increase power and more sound
Not at the moment this is just planning to see how much I should spent

Thanks

Header:
Is the header compatible with the turbo? Will the turbo kit require a completely different header purchase? Many turbos come with their own header.
If you buy one of the long tube headers that come up near the intake airbox, does it leave enough room for the supercharger/turbo to be mounted?

Exhaust:
2.5" is fine for NA, but 3" is recommended to maximize power from boost. Sometimes a turbo kit can be upgraded to include a header and full 3" exhaust that is proven to help maximize gains from that turbo. If this is an option, you could always just do a muffler delete to get some added noise now which is probably all you're looking for at the moment, then upgrade everything at once when you buy boost.

Make sure you do your research on these kinds of things ahead of time for any mod you intend to do. Always remember what your end goal is or you might end up spending more money than you would want

Just keep in mind that a muffler delete or really loud system of any kind will be about the same as painting a glowing sign that says "HEY OFFICER PICK ME" on the car when driving around TO. I love me some loud exhaust but in much of Toronto you will become a target in a hurry.

Induction is the means by which the engine takes in its supply of air. Forced induction (FI) is by means of a turbocharger and/or supercharger. The air is being forced into the engine. Naturally aspirated (NA) is when the engine pulls in it's own supply of air, no help from anything.

As for your exhaust concerns these have been extensively talked about before. Tcoat posted a great link that will take you to all kinds of exhaust information. Once or as you comb throw those links and get ideas for an exhaust you can do a google search for more info and search youtube for sound clips of your choices, there is also sound clips on here.

@reynierpm ...... a simple, relatively economical, easy way to make your car sound more aggressive, yet bearable to drive everyday, would be an axle back muffler.

Oh no, I dislike really loud exhausts actually. I have to routinely drive my mom around and my girlfriend so my car has to remain civil. Plus one of my workplaces is 40 km away so the drone would squash my head. I'm going with the corsa exhaust and that's plenty for me.

What about if I want to increase power as well? Keep in mind I want a good sound but also more power if it's possible

That involves a header and tune as well as the rest of the system. No axle or cat back will give you power. Just noise that makes it seem more powerful.

Any recommendation in South Florida? Any person dedicated to this kind of stuff?
