Overpipe - solutions for our RHD cars? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

mswhong · 02-22-2013, 03:36 AM

SO, I'm looking to invest into a full header-back system for my car but I am repeatedly told by american companies, such as perrin and nameless, that they currently do not offer a solution in regards to our over-pipe dilemma.

As such, are there any alternatives out there? Or does anyone KNOW of any overpipes that DO fit into our RHD cars? I have heard/read that xforce is bringing out a full system but I really want the perrin testpipe+catback combo.

any help or suggestions would be lovely!

It's just the steering column has been an issue for us RHD individuals

Oh wow, since when did motiv make that?! I've been living under a rock haha. Any idea on pricing?

My Perrin overpipe fits fine and I'm currently running full Perrin header back (cat front pipe and non resonated catback).

Hi B****,
We have successfully installed the overpipe into 5 BRZ/86's in Australia. Please let me know if you would like to place an order. These are in stock and ready to go.
Cheers Dan

Dear Car Mods Australia,
Please forgive my concern but would you confirm that the Perrin overpipe for Subaru BRZ fits RHD vehicles? That is, it clears the steering column.

It was about $750 posted for the over pipe and test pipe to Australia (its the best welding ive ever seen)

Sweet!

I still thought some were concerned about proximity to the steering box and therefore heat issues

Racing Heritage doesn't mean anything to me........Fabrication quality is everything to me
