I installed the Radium PCV side catch can today. I might get the crankcase side later on but most people say the PCV side is enough for NA. it's a nice product and I installed it in less than 30 minutes. however, I was disappointed that my dip stick thumb screw was not green like the pictures for the product

I also routed the lines differently than the pictures because I noticed that the PCV line to the block was pretty loose... I didn't want to put any strain on it so I just rested the OEM hose on top and made the Radium hoses longer.

Nice build so far! Pm'd you about the mxp exhaust.

ryoma · 07-13-2016, 05:46 PM

made a quick exhaust video when I was visiting my brother. he has all the cool camera equipment like gopro and DSLR. my current exhaust setup has Gruppe-S headers, Gruppe-S over pipe, stock front pipe, and the MXP SP catback.

bought and installed the GrimmSpeed front strut tower brace. after reading the threads where they (GrimmSpeed) discussed how they tested their brace, I was sold. I just put it on so I have yet to experience if there is a difference, but regardless I still think it is a worthy purchase.

I recently installed the Invidia resonated and catless front pipe. I haven't really done much to the car lately and this finishes up my full exhaust. First impressions are that the car is LOUD, especially on the cold start. however, the rumbles of the UEL are heard more now and of course there's all the downsides of going catless but I don't mind that. there is a little rasp/tin sound when rev matching down, especially in the higher RPMs, but that doesn't bother me much. overall, the exhaust is loud but still sounds great. one thing to note is that the resonator is extremely close to touching the side panels of the underbody tunnel. it is probably about 1mm from the putty that goes around a few brackets under there (or whatever that goop is). here are some pictures:

Great build man,

How's the drone with going full catless and the MXP SP exhaust?

I've really enjoyed your thread. You have similar taste and goals as me, so its been interesting to see what you get for your BRZ and how you like each part.

Definitely will follow.

The drone is manageable. I am not expecting the car to ride like an S class Benz so it doesn't bug me. There is a little rasp that makes it sound like a Honda with a fart cannon around 4.5k-6k RPM though. However that is due to the front pipe I got. With the stock front pipe it sounds perfect.

Thanks man. I'm not a big fan of flashy mods that attract too much attention but I am thinking about a front splitter and rear diffuser since I could use that downforce at the track... Either aero or coils next most likely

I haven't done much exterior-wise so it has looked the same for a while. I don't have any new exterior shots, but this old picture is the same:

you will find this picture helpful:

I took the picture from the same height as the wheel so the wheel gap would look slightly less if you were standing up straight.
