Front Pipe or Crawford BPB - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

alanhung85 · 07-04-2014, 01:43 PM

Hey guys,

I am slowly building up my BRZ. So far I got the OpenFlash Tablet and the OpenFlash Headers should be arriving sometime this month. I am having a hard time deciding what to get next. Between the Front Pipe and the Crawford BPB, which will I get more bang for the buck?

For Front Pipe I will be going with an Invidia Catted because my headers will already be catless and I enjoy driving with windows down in the summer, I don't want the smell with going completely catless.

BPB, Front pipe is more for sound...

I would go for the BPB first as well, although I did get my EL header + front pipe together before the BPB.

Front pipe will get you more gains than a cat back will... but the PB's will get better gains unless you're running e85 or boost.

It's an intake manifold spacer. Crawford CNC'd them out of billet aluminum and called them billet power blocks.

Fiebruz manifold spacers... cheaper and better than crawfords

With a tune yes...but i was going under the impression that he wasn't doing a tune. Either way can't go wrong with either one but a front pipe is better to do with full exhaust installs...

Not only could I not find them listed on Fiebruz's website but Googling " "Fiebruz manifold spacers" " only returned this thread. Googling
" Fiebruz "manifold spacers" " also only returned this thread. Googling " Fiebruz manifold spacers " (that is, no quotes in the search) returned about 220 hits of which none were helpful that I could see.

Where are these Fiebruz manifold spacers I wonder?

Maybe he meant "fibrous" but doesn't know how to spell?

Nevermind... looks like that's an actual company
