TRD Exhaust Sound and any further advice - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

US TRD zorst is very different to ours if I'm not mistaken - sounds different as well.

I feel I need to explain to myself why the TRD exhaust costs R25k lol. I spoke to the dealer he said there is no problem with installing the BRZ exhaust and it will not affect the warranty. So it is looking promising.

I've got the 63mm RGM freeflow (i.e. cats chucked in the bin) exhaust which sounds great. If you're going to get it supercharged, which I highly recommend, then I'd hold off for now.
As mentioned above get yourself to the track day on 25th May where you can look and listen to some great cars.

@FT_86_SM_GP : This morning I spoke to the service manager at McCarthy Toyota Centurion on Hendrik Vervoed. He said worse case is that the exhaust is not covered by the warranty.

Yes, I plan on coming to spectate.

If the RGM SC didn't affect the warranty I would get it right away

and not spend my money on the body kit and exhaust.

Did anyone follow this recommendation for breaking-in a new car?

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20687

Or any advice on how to break-in a new 86?

I took it easy for the first 1500 km, with some engine braking to settle the rings. Then it was peddle to metal.

Cool, SA's is locally developed though so pretty unique. The one on the site sounds like a stock 86/BRZ.

I have decided to install the BRZ exhaust and also have dual exhaust tips installed to fit the TRD bumper.

The TRD exhaust system didn't impress me at all. It just looks good.

sav · 05-12-2014, 10:26 AM

Good choice, you won't regret it...
