Always verify part numbers with your dealer or manufacturer to ensure proper fitment for your specific model year.

Q2

What maintenance is required for the BRZ exhaust system?

The exhaust system requires minimal maintenance. Regularly inspect the system for signs of rust, cracks, or loose connections. Clean the exterior with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Check the gaskets and seals for wear every 10,000 miles. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. Proper maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of the exhaust system.

Q3

How do I install or replace the exhaust system on a Subaru BRZ?

To install or replace the exhaust system, first, safely lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with stands. Remove the old exhaust by loosening the bolts at the manifold and mid-pipe connections. Carefully lower the old system and install the new one, starting with the manifold connection. Align the pipes and secure all bolts evenly to prevent leaks. Tighten to the manufacturer’s torque specifications. Double-check all connections before lowering the vehicle.

Q4

What should I do if my BRZ exhaust is making unusual noises?

Unusual noises, such as rattling or hissing, often indicate loose connections, damaged gaskets, or exhaust leaks. First, inspect the system for visible damage or loose bolts. Tighten any loose connections and replace worn gaskets. If the noise persists, check for cracks or holes in the pipes. Professional inspection may be necessary to identify and resolve internal issues, such as a damaged muffler or catalytic converter.

Q5

How can I optimize the performance of my BRZ exhaust system?

To optimize performance, ensure the exhaust system is properly installed and free of leaks. Consider upgrading to a performance exhaust for improved airflow and reduced backpressure. Pair the exhaust with a high-flow catalytic converter or a tune to maximize gains. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and inspecting the system, also helps maintain peak performance. Avoid modifications that compromise emissions compliance or vehicle safety.
