Update on exhaust - (Eliminate Rattle)

Experienced a rattle at low rpm's and on uneven roads when taking off.

Realised that the exhaust touched the rear axle.

Took it back to Toyota ###**### last week, and they adjusted the exhaust hangers to move the exhaust slighlty away from the rear axle.

No more rattle.

Heres a video that shows the rattle when taking off:

Silly question. What size bore is the 86 OEM as compared to the BRZ?

BRZ vs OEM Xhost dimensions.

Just did some measuring with my vernier whilst in the midst of 'load shedding'.

The BRZ pipe is approx. 63 mm, OEM 54 mm. The mighty horns coming out of the BRZ rear muffler = 74 mm each. OEM = 54 mm again.
The OEM pipe is a mass of bends and crimps. The BRZ is just so much straighter!

Love the torquey rumble of the BRZ Xhorst.

Hi All,


I just got a call from Subaru Centurion to say my De Graaf exhaust has arrived, and I can come in to get it fitted


What have you guys done with the OE exhaust that you took off. Is it worth anything, and is there a second hand market for them ?


Cheers.

Cool, thanks.


Guess I will have to find an equally out of the way place to store mine.

Kept mine in my garage. The cat might be worth something for its platinum. Apparently the OEM tips are worth a bit. Some American 86s aren't fitted with the tips. So if your prepared to eBay..

Thanks Ayrton. I'm only going on Monday to have it fitted, so will decide what to do once done.

Apparently the tips are quite readily available from Subaru in SA - if they still have any left. Toyota quoted me R750 each when I asked...

So I recently got rear-ended in slow traffic on the way to work, and my exhaust took the brunt of the hit. Doing a full replacement with the BRZ performance exhaust is cheaper than getting the 86 tips repaired (and as far as I understand, its only the tips).

Anyways, it's happening Monday, and it's going to be awesome . It's just a good excuse to have it done. If insurance pays for it the deal will only be sweeter. I don't see why they wouldn't, though, as it's a) cheaper than Toyota, b) an official part for the same car approved by Subaru SA.

DAT SOUND. Can't wait

I guess that will rely on the panel beater / assessor / insurance company,...etc

The more parties involved the more grey lines there are

Smart thinking !
@LostSalad - I hope you Find out soon and your efforts bear fruit (salad) ;-)

Even if they don't end up pay for it, that R5k is money well spent!

Cheers
