The manifolds I heard of mostly are JDL, Ace, Borla and HKS. It was one of the best tunes he got on a GT86 / BRZ The other ones only had a header which explains the 3hp gap probably and seemingly the tune was like every other tune he did.

It's fantastic to drive, I spent my whole day driving it yesterday Can't wait to try it on the track !

Today I got my remap done at HRED Motorsport and I'm really satisfied with the outcome I also discovered that one of the previous owners had the car remapped in a weird way. Here are the charts representing the weird remap, the stock ECU and the HRED remap : I found the engine fuller on the whole RPM range and the difference isn't crazy like adding a turbo : the GT86 should come out the factory like that. For those who wanted to hear the exhaust, this is for you

I will I just took it out twice since the mod and was in a bit of a hurry, soon as I have time I'll post some videos

I just sent a message to Mike about getting some info for my local tuner from Nick, hoping they won't think I trying to steal some secret tips from them 😮

Thanks for the tip I'm going to my local remapper friday (HRED Motorsport), he has worked on a few BRZ and GT86 cars and does a good job seemingly. I'll have the best fuel in the tank for sure, I'm going for Total's SP98 Excellium. Is there a risk for the engine to run it without a remap for about 60 miles ?

Thanks ! The model was found on Thingiverse and I printed it using PLA

Thanks Yes it's very satisfying but when you realize it took you about an hour to install and two hours to adjust it correctly it's a bit tiring. Anyway, it was worth it

Quick update I received the exhaust in three parts : Header & Overpipe Midpipe Rear silencer I decided to wrap the header with DEI Titanium wrap to avoid heating the engine oil and bay too much. That was for the start of the week. This week end I decided to install the full exhaust in my tiny garage with my car jack stands, it took me the whole day which is pretty good knowing my exhaust is old and has 90 000km (~60 000 miles). I also installed a sound generator suppressor part I 3D printed It was dark by the time I could go out and try it out but I spent 40 minutes smiling. The sound level is a bit lower than with the original exhaust when cruising and that's without the sound generator. I didn't find any drone or noise I didn't want to create . Once you start putting some load on the engine, the sound becomes great ! It revs with a sound I could qualify of stainless steel sound. The exhaust really answers to engine load, if you rev slowly it won't be very loud, if you give the accelerator a dab, it will become more "dramatic". I really love this exhaust and I think it's what this car was lacking : sound and no torque dip (soon for me with my remap). If someone is interested I'll post some pictures / videos of the car with its new exhaust.

Thanks for the video 👍 And tell your wife I'm sorry for what she's going thru with these videos 😊 The sound is really distinctive with that high pitch note. I can't wait to install mine, I just ordered it last night !

It's just perfect, that's what I'm looking for I think

Is that the Super Res Catback ? 😮I want it now 😂 Thanks for the video !!!

Great description, I like the details, thanks 👌

It think that people in my french enthusiast group could be interested, it would be a massive event !

That would be great 😊 I commute on a bike so the GT86 is my week end and track day car, that's why I'm wondering if the Resonated Catback could suit me.
