Subaru BRZ Exhaust FAQs
What are the key benefits of upgrading the exhaust system in a Subaru BRZ?
BRZ performance exhaust systems reduce flow restrictions, which boosts power and torque versus a stock setup. They also make the vehicle sound louder and more exciting. You can get exhausts with a mellow rumble, a deep muscle car growl or an aggressive scream. Different exhaust tips are available to enhance the car's looks. Finally, the best BRZ aftermarket exhausts are made of high-quality stainless steel that will last for many years.
How can I determine the best exhaust upgrade for my Subaru model?
This depends on your performance goals and your budget. BRZ header back exhausts offer the most power and sound improvements but also are the most expensive and take the most time to install. Axle back exhausts are the most affordable and easiest to install with a small-to-moderate performance boost. A cat-back exhaust strikes a balance between gains and cost. Each can significantly change how your BRZ sounds on the road or track.
Which performance parts are commonly sought after to enhance a Subaru's overall performance?
BRZ exhaust systems are popular because they are an extremely cost-effective way to boost performance, giving you more horsepower per dollar than almost any other upgrade. Tuners and chips like the JMS PedalMAX also offer a significant performance improvement. These throttle chips reduce lag when you step on the gas pedal, helping you jump off the line. Both are "plug-and-play" options that don't require additional tuning.
What distinguishes an axle back exhaust system from other exhaust modifications for Subarus?
A Subaru BRZ axle back exhaust is the simplest and lowest-costing aftermarket exhaust option, making them a good choice for people who are new to DIY customization or have a limited budget. They replace all exhaust components from the axle to the rear bumper, including the tailpipe, muffler and exhaust tips. This produces huge sound and style gains plus a reasonable power boost in a package that only takes about an hour to install.
What are some recommended modifications specifically tailored for improving a Subaru BRZ's performance and aesthetics?
The best way to modify your Subaru BRZ (and the Toyota equivalents) is with an aftermarket exhaust system. They offer a noticeable performance lift, and by adding custom exhaust tips, you'll make the back of the vehicle look more stylish. Another way to improve the aesthetics is with quality detailing products such as International Aero. Using high-quality exterior soap, tire dressing, speed wax and other supplies will give your BRZ an immaculate shine at any speed.
