TRD kit has these:

I can't wait for data and observations of driving feel and aerodynamics with these vortex generators. They seem like they might be able to do some cool stuff!

NorCalRider · 04-25-2012, 03:56 PM

Crazy how all these little tidbits of information get me so amped up on this car. Cool idea with the vortex generators.

Now, there are another mod for intake too (sound enhancer). You can change the sound by changing the sound enhancer filter. So if you want the silent quiet, you can. If you want loud, you can. You just change the filter.

One mod I haven't seen on modern cars and love to see a kit offer is individual throttle bodies.

That'll be cool... but I think it might be harder to do it with boxer engine than inline engine

sounds interesting- any more details? what happens when you take the small filter out? In the new 5.0 mustang GTs people have had pretty good results doing this. I'll try to dig up a youtube clip to explain what i mean..

So the FR-S/BRZ has some sort of removable/changable filter connected to the induction tube, similar to the mustang?

Not sure, cuz that idea never cross my mind... BUT time will then. I'm pretty sure someone will do it & post em on youtube lol

bimmerboy · 04-25-2012, 04:18 PM

See the clips i just posted, maybe that will explain better what I mean... In theory the BRZ/FR-S should have a similar filter that hopefully we can remove for added sound

That's not quite fair to say is it? Especially considering that it's supposed to be unique to each individual. Just saying.

Yes, you're right.

Correction. It's perfect for me!

I know, but don't forget, FR-S isn't wired throttle controlled

cyde01 · 04-25-2012, 05:14 PM

yeah itbs would be a sick mod, but they're already a big pain to tune, not to mention the fact that this car uses DBW instead of throttle cable. i'm hoping the aftermarket will eventually figure out a solution as i don't see toyota/subaru or TRD offering this.
