I'm gonna find out Sunday if the axel back fits the same as the 13-16 lol I pulled mine off the old car before it went to salvage. So that's my first mod.

But I also have custom sprung/valved AST 4100s on the way 😍

I saw on the FB group, I get this inconsistently. I'm under warranty for a few more weeks under Subaru, I gotta find time to go in.

Axle back does not fit.

Trying to decide if I should get a tint and opticoat (or similar) once my BRZ arrives next month.

What do you guys think? I know there are a million threads on that stuff at this point but it'd be nice to get some more current opinions.

Plus, if I should do either of them are there any good places in San Jose or nearby?

Yeah, appears the flange isnt the same (link below). Could have an exhaust shop could customize the 2017+ midpipe to work

It's actually the pivots for your TOB. It needs lube. I had the same thing that happened to me and all the dealership did was relube it

Well I have that super awesome legsport double muffler/single exit axel back. I really wanna use it on the new car.

Apparently I could get a 13-16 mid-pipe which would allow me to fit this axle back.

Now I don't know what to do. Lol

On the side note: does any one have a 3d scanner I can use? Need to scan a part.

Oooo Legsport. Yeah. Keep it and get the old midpipe or have a shop weld a new flange on your current midpipe. Legsport sounds really damn nice

Maybe I'll just throw it in the garage for now then.

I'm thinking this summer is going to be a HOT one. So I'd definitely get some tint. 3M Crystalline is great stuff. I have that on mine (door windows, 70%). Makes a huge difference. I get in my Yaris with no tint atm, and the left side of my body burns up.

Did you also get the tint on the smaller panel windows behind the door ones?
