For states that require visual inspection, an aftermarket catted header will still fail depending upon the inspector, so they seem to be somewhat difficult to come by.

I also suggest getting to whatever local cars and coffee or BRZ/FRS/86 meet you can to see if you can hear some of the options in person. Make sure you want an exhaust system that loud and in that tone well before you spend the money. YouTube is a good resource, but it isn't the same.
Answers like this are why I post here and not in the actual forums haha


I would get it tuned, but I was thinking shop/dyno tuned. Not sure if I still have to take them something like OFT though. No inspections in my state so not worried about sniff or visual, but I already have an old test pipe I meant to sell, but since I still have it I figured I'd just use it, so I wanted to go catted header to keep it quiet and not pollute too much.


I've watched plenty of YouTube videos and I'm pretty sure I know the combo I want. JDL being one of few catted headers is how it caught my eye in the first place. Where else is a good place for 86 parts aside from Speedfactory?
