Catless FP will get you a couple more ponies.

A catback will make you sound like you got a couple more ponies.

Fitted PSR catless header and O/pipe, stock front pipe, Q300cb and OFT e85 V4.xx tune. Sounds great and pulls from low rpm getting stronger as revs increase

Good thread. New to brz/86. Sorry to quote old post, but does this still apply? or have the Subaru/Toyota dealerships started using any newer software that will detect tuning?

To my knowledge there have been zero reports of tunes being detected by dealer techs.

Hey guys,

Can I heat cycle while the car is on stands? I dont want to

reinstall the 2 skid plates, lower car, raise car, remove skid plates

If I can just turn the car on while its lifted, let it warm up, and then cool it down to retorque everything.

For reference, I had UEL Gruppe S for 3 years and put my stock headers back in for smog, and now I'm going to go back on with the UEL gruppe S. Do I even need to worry about heat cycles on a used headers?

It's just best practice to drive about for a week, maybe mix in some spirited driving, then go back and double check.


I did that back when I still had my car and the cnt uel and didn't notice anything out of spec with my torque wrench.



If you have a tuner or datalogging tools look for LTFTs being +/- 10, if they are higher than that you most likely have a leak.
