WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 912 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Picture of my Intec high mount brake light. Pretty pleased with the end result, though I wish the wiring could be tucked better. As it is, there's a little less than an inch of exposed wire before it could be tucked under the headliner and ran behind the C-Pillar plastics and under the deck lid. Another plus is that the included felt covers up all the holes from the stock brake light very well and is a super close match to the OEM fabric. Excuse the dirty car. Winter has come and I only wash once a week.

Do you still have the stock axle back or muffler delete as well with the test pipe? I just bought a used berk muffler delete dual tips and a berk catless front pipe. Not sure If I should install both or just the catless test pipe

I have a test pipe (different make) fitted, rest of the exhaust is completely standard. The sound is very slightly louder and slightly more raspy at the top end. No drone, no ricer noises. I installed for performance not for noise. It is most noticeable on cold start.

I imagine removing the muffler in combination would be very loud though

How was the install in general? Pretty smooth? How hard was it to drill out the stock "UFO" brakelight?

ChrisFL · 01-05-2016, 12:44 PM

Added proper Toyota badging

I am currently running a catback with the test pipe.

To be honest I would try the muffler delete first on your car since it's the easiest to install. If it's too loud for you remove the muffler delete revert to stock and run just the test pipe.

Also one thing to keep in mind with the muffler delete it will be super loud at first but once exhaust soot settles in it the volume will turn down slightly. I had one on my car previously.

It went smoothly as there's good DIY's for removing the rear deck lid. The only problem is that there's not much space to work in the back seat.

I used three different bits to drill out the stock brake light. I didn't want to damage anything too badly for a "just in case scenario". I should be able to reinstall the stock one if I have to. Just gotta make sure you have a big enough bit to drill through the entire rivet.

Test pipe took like 15 mins to install but I was on proper hydraulic lift

Chimera · 01-06-2016, 10:41 AM

I'm pretty happy with it. Wanted to keep my scion badges but have them black. Didn't plasti dip. Got badges for the Scion xB and they fit.

Installed the Invidia N1 Catback and Invidia Catless Front Pipe last night. Couldn't be happier with the outcome..
