Hi, I've been in contact with Tuning Developments for the last few days to find out which exhaust system would suit me. I'm planning on attending to some track days with my GT86 and my local track only allows cars under 95dB at 4000rpm. I also want to get rid of the torque dip. Knowing my two main requirements TD answered me very quickly telling me their Super Res Cat Back with an Overpipe and their EL Header would be perfect for me. I'm lacking some feedback on the Super Res Cat Back, does someone have one ? Does someone have a flyby and interior video with this catback ? I've searched everywhere and I can't find what I'm looking for 😖 Thanks 😁

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 !!!

Hi guys, I'm Vincent, I live in France and I own an orange GT86 made in june 2012. It's mainly stock, I just installed HKS spark plugs and a NED oil cooler :)

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.

I'd love a video of it ! The center pipe part is really interesting 😊

I'm afraid it might be just to close to the stock exhaust 🙄 Does anyone have a video of that exhaust other than the official one ?

I ruined 3 pairs of Nitrile gloves do do it 😂

I followed this video which shoes how patient you must be 😉 https://youtu.be/fUP6jePkk98

Didn't lift the engine, I followed a video I found on Youtube. It can be done with patience and tools 😊 Are you planning on changing yours ?

I heard turbos cut down the volume a bit 😊 That's what I'm looking for 😈 Great to know that !

I'm afraid it might not be loud enough, on the video it sounds just a tiny bit louder than the stock.

Yes I did...
