I'm personally looking at the nameless exhaust, most likely with a high flow cat and then headers without a cat. they have by far the most gains with or without a tune and it's well built without costing both arms and a leg.

Hello! I don't own a BRZ but I've got a set of wheels and tires for sale that you guys might like and one of my buddies, who does own a BRZ, recommended I post here. I guess I at least have to make a intro post before I can post an ad. Anyway, hello!

Hello everyone, thought I would make an intro post. I bought my wife a Limited WRB BRZ a couple months back and have been using this site for our upgrade questions and what not. So far we've done 18x8.5 Rota MXR's/245/40/18 Hankook Ventus V12 and H&R lowering springs. And I drive the 2011 STi on the right..

Hey everybody! I've had my BRZ for a month now and I'm loving it big time. I had a 2010 Camaro before and can honestly say I'm having more fun in this little thing. I can't wait to get it up in the canyons in Utah. There are some nice looking rides in here and helpful drivers too. Have fun!

Lol, we've all been there . Mine was the 04' WRX. It was like one of the first 3 in the entire state. Loved it! But it was manual and I'd only driven a Nissan Exterra 5-spd like a hand full of times before.. that was my "stick experience." lol Like the saying goes, takes an afternoon to learn and a life time to master. You'll get it.

Congrats on the whip man!

Hello, I just joined and am seriously considering buying a BRZ. I've been waiting for this car to come out since it was first announced YEARS ago. I recently started a new engineering job, and am looking for reliable transportation to get me to work every day, and don't want to waste money on a car I don't like.

I sat in a BRZ at Cherry Capital Subaru in Traverse City, and have looked at others in the Metro Detroit area. After seeing a couple FR-S's in person, I'm sure I want the BRZ, plus all the electronic gadgets that are not available on the FR-S.

Hi everyone! I have been reading about this car ever since it came out last year. Finally bit the bullet and purchased a DGM BRZ Limited a couple of days ago! Drove 100 miles to get to a dealer that had this color in stock. I will be driving back there today to pick it up after work. This is my first major purchase; I'm so excited.

king tut i have watched all the vids or your car and read all forms posted about fbm turbo so a couple of question if you dont mind
are you ever worried about it blowing the engine do you thinks its reliable.
is it hard to put the power down .
and do you regret doing this install
and if you dont mind could you post a smal write up of the tuning side of things i know you have before but dumb it down a bit if you could thank you
