When was yours built? Look at the sticker on the driver side door jam. I thought they fixed those issues on the production a long time ago.

Other members on this forum (including I) pushed our tips all the way in til we couldn't anymore then bolted it down. There's a thread somewhere comparing JDM fitment with ours at different angles to confirm this. Just an FYI.

Yup, you definitely want to push them all the way in. Otherwise they'll stick out and look like hot rod mufflers.

I currently own an EVO X. I have had EVOs since moving to California 6 years ago with my Evo 8 to Evo X.

how does the BRZ feel in comparison to the EVO? I think the BRZ looks better, but I love how mean the EVO looks. Im terms of driving, I shouldn't be worried about the power, because I don't drag race but....I always liked knowing I had power when I need to quickly overtake.

How does it feel in the BRZ? I know it handles well since I test drove it.
