It all looks reassuringly similar to my WRX's (01 and 04). I feel comfortable already.

Does that look like a catalytic converter at the end of the exhaust headers? The WRX had a similar, pre-turbo cat, that many of us replaced with a straight pipe. (The WRX had 3 catalytic converters stock.) I wasn't considering any engine/exhaust mods till I saw that, provided it's what I think it is.

As for questions about the spark plugs, yes my 2.0 WRX's had them on the side. If you have bigger hands like I do, it could be a bit painstaking to replace them yourself. But from pics I've seen there appears to be more space in the engine bay of the BRZ/FR-S.
