What's up guys... So I bought my BRZ back in April and will be looking to start buying parts to mod while it's parked for the upcoming winter.
After a bunch of research on FI kits and exhaust packages it looks like I've ended here. The whole complete stage system from a reputable source, while an ideal (at least for me), it is not very cost effective from top to bottom (as has been talked to death, not the purpose of this post whatsoever).
I love the look and sound of the Cosworth catback. I feel like the additional cost is worth the quality comparatively to other systems -- and it sounds great when combined with the stage 2 package.
I love the sound of the 0.2 midpipe and 0.3 header combined with the catback, but at over $1k and $2k respectively I would like to hear what else people are using in place of the Cosworth header and midpipe combo.
Not to be discounted is the level of research and testing put into the Cosworth tunes that come out of the box, but saving as much as $2000 up front I'd like to believe that I could get a great custom tune supporting other exhaust components and eventually supercharger.
I am hung up between the ease and faith in their in-depth testing of their products as a system, or slightly modifying their system and leaving my faith with a tuner. Help!
