exhaust and intake recommendation - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Ok I have my 2014 BRZ 6speed for a few days now but want to know what is the best exhaust and intake systems what are the feelings, I want real world improvements not just noise from a system

Real world improvements? Turbocharge

I've spent over 3k for intake, exhaust, pulleys, drive shaft, flywheel and ECUTek tune. If I get to do it over, I'd went with a super charger, more cost effective. And keep in mind that bolt ons barely do anything if not accompany with a tune.

The base line in the chart is with full bolt ons.

What bolt do you have?

Are you running headers? This is pretty much all the mods i want to keep my car N/A to maintain responsiveness. I've noticed other people getting 190-200whp (+20-30whp) with tune, headers, and a couple other minor bolt on.

Dang, I guess you could still get a S/C to compliment your bolt on parts. It would be a different story if you wanted turbo.

Yea that's the plan, the Innovate supercharger, later down the road. If I keep this car long enough.

Don't get me wrong, the car drives great now, and I really enjoy it as a DD. The RaceRom features are really cool, launch control and flat foot shifting let me beat lots of 300hp+ cars. But like most of us, I just need that little bit more, lol

I just wanted to know what brand/make of exhaust/intake is the best....

Whitigir · 12-27-2013, 01:27 AM

are those Mustang or Jet Dyno numbers ?

Ganthrithor · 12-27-2013, 08:59 AM

Honestly, just pick one you like the sound of unless you want to spend a fortune making more NA power. If you can save some weight, even better.

Also, it's almost like there's a subforum for these kinds of questions...

sklimo · 12-27-2013, 10:01 AM

OP I'm running Injen CAI, Invidia catted front pipe and Invidia N1 CBE. Will be getting FT-86 Speedfactory catted UEL header when it drops.

intake/exhaust alone without tune are marginal if any gains in real, measurable performance. they are more about sound.

IMO one of the most cost effective mods for performance is a good set of tires. Instrumented reviewers have demonstrated the gains in lap times etc. Second would be driving lessons (second due to somewhat higher cost and limited availability).

Another plus for going the new shoes route is it keeps your warranty intact.
