PLM (Private Label MFG) Over-Pipe and Front Pipe
Hi guys,
Not sure if this is a re-post, I was reading some S2000 builds and they used PLM header. So I went to their website and found out that they actually make FRS/BRZ products. I have never heard of this brand, so I'm just throwing it out there for people that are interested. Private Label MFG Power Driven FR-S/ BRZ OVERPIPE ![]() Private Label MFG Power Driven FR-S/ BRZ DOWN / FRONTPIPE (200 CELL HIGH FLOW CAT)(Direct Factory Replacment) ![]() Private Label MFG Power Driven FR-S/ BRZ TRACKPIPE Muffler Delete ![]() Here is there website for FRS/BRZ products: https://www.privatelabelmfg.com/category_s/63.htm Once again, I am in no way affiliated with this brand, so I know just as much as anyone else on the forum, if not less. Thanks, |

I've actually seen a few of their headers on s2000s made decent gains (~5hp, which for the s2000 IS decent gains LOL).

if it's stainless and fits, that's about all i require. no point in paying a premium for pretty welds i can't see. i'll probably end up picking one up.

Lots of companies are able to sell for less by waiting for others to figure out the R&D and just copying the same basic design.

its not always about "pretty" welds, its about a correct fusion between the metals. a crap weld can lead to cracking down the road

ymmv. of course the cheaper parts are more hit and miss on quality (or at least should be, not always the case). the biggest thing to worry about is material quality, which is of course a long term durability concern. generally a quick google search can at least get you a review to go by before you decide on one. |

I ran the PLM Header on my s2000 and never had any issues after continuous use on the track, even with the jet-hot ceramic coating.

I'm very interested in buying one of these so I really appreciate your feedback on it. Do the flanges look like 304 or nickel plated mild steel? Are you satisfied with the welds and fitment? TIA. |
