Couple of Japanese companies are still doing R+D, especially because of the NAturally Aspirated aspect, where back pressure is important.

The front pipe on the market is Tanabe but I will still advise u to wait as a lot of Japanese companies are still doing their R+D.

With regards to the headers, I will also recommend to wait. The 4-2-1 design on the BRZ is already highly refined from factory as Subaru had done its homework. Wait for companies like Tomei and HKS to finish their R+D and release properly developed products.

No worries.
Thanks very much for the feedback

May do a little DIY if the effort is there

Daniel.

Hi Dan,

How's the new toy?

X-Force only does a Turbo back system. Price is $1200 parts only and $1300 suppy and install.
Link here:
XForce. Performance Mufflers, Exhaust Systems & Accessories. Mazda 3 MPS (BL) MY10+

PM sent.

Don't have it yet Still have a month to go, so I am just getting parts so I don't have to wait around... as you can imagine the GF is really impressed by this

$1200 is great, I will come by the shop at a date closer to picking the car up and order/pick-up the Turbo-Back off you. I will do the DIY install work myself this time

Was only after the Cat-Back because the downpipe causes CEL issues, but I can just keep the downpipe for a ECUTEK or COBB tune later down the track.

How long does it take to get this exhaust from the east?

Cheers Mao.

**EDIT: watch the video you can see the CEL light on the dash.

Allow about 7 days via road transport.

We have access to Cobb if you should be interested later on, which will not lock your ecu.

Cheers,
Mao

Awesome, I will want a COBB accessport in the future, the only other option is ECUTEK or full standalone. Both are way to expensive for the little gains I would get over a COBB.

And as long as Mazda say the warranty is fine with the exhaust (which it should) I may grab both then

So Mao, Will this model need a tune of sorts after this system install?
If so, do you do this as well?

Cheers,
