WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

[Ganthrithor]

Whee!

[DocWalt]

Installed a catted/resonated Nameless overpipe/frontpipe... Sounds like complete ass. Raspy metallic noise, and no, it's not touching. It fits pretty darned well actually, just sounds like garbage. Bleh.

edit: for the record, this is nothing against the product, it's something in my specific setup exacerbating a noise the nameless pipe makes. Not to mention I'm using it with a UEL header and the nameless resonator was designed for their EL header...

I have one such lady next door. No rodent populations near my house.

Had it for a couple weeks now. Guess I'll play catch up.

De-badged the subaru and brz letters. Added an LC2i to the factory nav unit to run RCA's to an Alpine KTP-45u and a R500-1D to power the door speakers and a JL 8w3v3 which really improved the sound quality. Hardwired my V1 radar detector to one of the cigarette lighter fuses under the dash and put the pressure mute switch in between the e-brake boot and the shifter ring. And I copied Jive Turkey's courtesy LED in the handsfree mic grille and replaced the useless rear trunk light with a 30cm white LED strip in the center.

Now to wait till after christmas to get an exhaust.

I looked at some pics of the 2015 Vette Z06 and it reminded me of how clean and sexy my BRZ is. I went to the garage to look at it and I could swear it winked at me.

What's the rest of your exhaust setup?

JDL UEL header, stock catback.

[08stiguy]

Installed ISIS over pipe. Fitment was perfect. I'm very happy with it and would definitely recommend this over pipe for those that are still shopping around.

[DocWalt]

@08stiguy

Is that stock header and stock overpipe? How's it sound?

[08stiguy]

No stock exhaust here lol. Borla UEL, ISIS over pipe, stock midpipe and Crawford gymkhana axel back. this was before the overpipe. Not much has changed as far as sound goes. It's a little bit more throatier now with the over pipe. I'm going in for a custom catback single can today.

Went from Stock, to Valenti, to Black Housing Stock, back to Valenti, and now to Clear Tom's.

It's been quite a journey, but I think I'm finally satisfied...

1.) Stock - Never liked em.

2.) Valenti's - Nothing wrong with them. Gave the car a more "elegant" look, but was ultimately looking for a more "aggressive" look.

3.) Black Housing Stock - Had them "professionally" opened, painted, and sealed. Loved the look of these, but after the first wash, there was condensation (never had a problem before), and some residue inside the lens that looked like condensation. I think another forum member had it done by the same guy and also had the same residue. No warranty on the guy's work, since he explicitly said these tail lights are prone to condensation anyways, and there's no way to prove that it was his work that caused the condensation. Tried blow drying inside, but quickly realized it was not moisture. Try denatured alcohol, and it went downhill from there. Lights ruined. = (

4.) Back to Valenti's - Had no choice. Stock lights were ruined. Again, nothing wrong with these, just weren't in love with them and wanted to match the rest of the car more. (Black roof, black gurney flap, black wheels, etc)

5.) Tom's USDM (Clear) - I should have gone with Tom's right from the start. I knew I wanted Tom's from the beginning, but I thought the price was just too much. The Valenti's were selling for much cheaper through group buys.

The money spent on modding the stocks lights, the money lost from not being able to sell my stock lights anymore, and the depreciation of the Valenti's if I were to sell them made me put the Tom's in a different perspective. Yes, it's more expensive, but I ended up spending way more money by settling with the Valenti's, and would've saved more money in the long run if I had just gone with the Tom's in the beginning.

Lesson learned!

Installed Sti oem Brz lip. Installation was a bitch, but it looks so good

[chanomatik]

Only got halfway done today.



Still stoked though! Next week the rears should be on and then you'll get full body shots, plus some extra goodies.
