Smile My 2013 Subaru BRZ - Tuned

Hey Guys!

Just bought a Subaru BRZ last month and hooked up with Panda Performance in Dubai to get some modifications going.

They're developing a few packages for the platform and asked to use my car to showcase the products and I agreed.

Within a week they've got me up from 145 whp/ 122 wtrq to 167 whp/ 128 wtrq with a titanium exhaust (they will be releasing their titanium exhaust soon), upgraded air intake and a custom ECUTek tune.

For the handling it's been upgraded with KW V3 coilovers, Michelin tires and beautiful TC3 wheels, it sits perfect.

Pictures below, let me know what you guys think!!

and the GReddy air intake, a work of art



now delivering 167whp and 128wtrq

Thanks! I just used this info in this thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1094924

Can you confirm that it's exactly 7.5 Kgs, or is it just about 7.5? That's very exciting. Lightest exhaust I've found so far. I'll be looking forward to the final price. Also, do you know or can you find out if they're going to make a single exit exhaust? That's crazy if they have the lightest exhaust available and they're not even going to make a single exit version. It would be so much lighter!

Could you also please find out the diameters of the exhaust? That is, before and after the branch?
