GRR Racing BRZ - UEL Gruppe-S Header & Overpipe

Hey all!

Recently we added a 2014 Subaru BRZ Limited to our stables (in case you don't know, we've raced our Scion FRS in wheel to wheel since 2014). The BRZ was purchased for more of an enthusiast/street car and we are excited to finally start modding it. The car came with an Nvidia exhaust, but, we really wanted to run an UEL header because of that sexy subie rumble. So, with our first engine modification (in addition to the basics that came on the car - intake, and axle back) we have added the Gruppe-S UEL header and over pipe.

Here are some photos from the install:

Pictured below is how the header and overpipe came shipped (it also included new hardware and gaskets)








Here's the hardware and gaskets that were included:


Stock vs. gruppe s




They look great from underneath. So shiny!


And not a bad view from the top, where you can sneak a peek:




The install was pretty straight forward. We have done a lot of header swaps on the race car, so we knew what was needed. The BRZ sounds amazing now, I will be uploading a comparison cold start video soon and I will add it to this link so you guys can check it out!

Who else is running the gruppe-s header? We will be getting it tuned shortly and look forward to sharing the power gains with you guys!

If you haven't seen it yet, here's a quick shot of Breezy (what I named her) after installing our Seibon Carbon hood and fenders that we had ran on our race car in 2015 when we won the US Majors Tour STU Championship.

best bang for the buck UEL header IMO. I have the UEL and OP as well and it's great.
