Everything about your 86 is clean as hell. the more i keep watching your videos the more i want it in red instead of trueno blue. Your car is exactly how i envision mine. just chefs kiss all around for that head turner
I would suggest wrapping the duck bill in gloss black or getting it in carbon to match the mirrors, would look sick, awesome build man love the red in this car
I think adding back the stock front and overpipe while keeping your touring exhaust and header combo is a great touch. Ive seen similar setups with a tomei header and its still loud but has a nice rumble to it 🫣
lip kit or side skirts would be cool to go with that front lip. also once the new borla exhausts come out, especially the new atak type (which wasn't on the last gen) that would be fun too
Greddy sp - hands down the best exhaust for the money. Second pick would be csg mxp spec it’s also amazing, both are pretty tame! Also… I have a used set of b14 coilovers with HVT top hats and reseng 2 inch extended top hats. I’d let ‘em go to you for 900 shipped. 5k miles on em.
That is crazy loud. I have nearly the exact same exhaust setup as this on my BRZ, except i have the catted and resonated JDL combo pipe instead of the dual resonated and an Invidia q300 catback. Cold start isn't nearly as obnoxious, has no drone or rasp at all, but is pretty aggressive when you get on it. After hearing this i am really happy i went with a cat in the combo pipe, because this is way to loud for me.
Would love more of a review style video. I ran full whiteline catalog on my Sti and Cusco on my forester xt. My st built for touge racing was amazing no clunks or noises but with my xt using Cusco I had a lot of clunks. Now that I am building my gr86se10thA I am leaning towards whiteline again. Curious your opinion on all your Cusco arms with noise vibrations and harshness
What coil overs are you thinking of changing to? Also I'm curious to see how the Corsa exhaust would sound with your current header / over and down pipe setup.
Just out of curiosity, I know JDL makes your overpipe and down pipe but what are your thoughts on the high flow cat “quiet” versions? I’m looking for the whole header/overpipe/Down pipe set up and have an invidia exhaust on it so I feel like if I don’t get the quiet one I might blow my neighbors ears off😂
What suspension are you planning on swapping too? Been eyeing the RCE SS1s, but hoping that they'll show up on one of the BST groups while I'm saving up. I also just picked up a Corsa exhaust last night and have my FT86 catted UELs ready to go, so you're finally free from my pestering :)
Just got my Neptune Blue Premium GR86! right in time for summer! Going the AWE Touring Edition Catback Exhaust, and Picked out the Konig Ampliform Wheels. Kevin was wondering if you think 18x8.5 +44 with a 245 would rub? Not swapping the suspension just yet... gotta wait on the funds to replension before going with the Tein Flex -Z so stock ride height. Will i have fitment issues?
Hey Kevin an idea for you. I’d like to see if you can talk about electronics. Wiring, using a multimeter, etc. I’ve been having issues with my lights. Sidemarker light turned off. Blinkers don’t work. My fix, is that I slightly move the cable 😂 my buddy did the wiring but i have no idea how he figured it out. I’d love to redo it but i do not want to blow a fuse, drain my battery, cause a short etc. i feel you explain things well so I’d love to see an intro for newbies on how to wire stuff for a car. There is a module that creates fake engine noise? On the 2013 as well?
Glad you talked about the parts more I was gonna buy those coil overs thinking they were good cuz you bought them but this video came out just in time haha
i agree on the awe exhaust, i have both track and touring edition and will probably sell it since im going to get headers soon. will probably go with apex or hks quiet exhaust
If you ever do a swaybar (and endlink) install video, can you also do a review/first impression reaction video? Every time I see an install video for the swaybar, they don't drive it to show their initial thoughts on it
I wonder what the stock over the axle exhaust would sound like with the front end opened up with a header and free flowing midpipe? I bet the noise level would be much better and you wouldnt lose any power to speak of.
Kevin can you explain a bit more about the process of getting the fitment perfectly without having to trim/shave the fenders? I have a very similar setup(18x9.5 +43 / 255-35) coming. So far I've I have the Cusco RUCA and some Racecompeng Coils.
I went custom, 2 resonator and 2 dc"mufflers" which removes 1 cat. Its similar to the Invidia n1 on start and low revs but higher rpms you get a more open sound since the cat is removed for me. Also won't it be annoying to clean the perrin filter?
Great build summary! I look forward the continuation! Carbon fiber hood would be dope. Not sure what to do about the exhaust. Tomei would be cool because titanium but probably loud af too.
I was suggesting that because I was wondering if you can still get HP gains from doing header back with a stock cat back while still being quiet (or not obnoxious) thank you!
personally I'm waiting to see if Sard will release 4-throttle kit for the FA24D the way they did for the FA20. the ITB makes it sound like an ae86, no way imma pass up on that. Also planning on running a tomei 80r with that set-up, car should sound good with that.
A tip for not getting hated on by neighbours who don't like early morning cold starts. Get a pool noodle, cut a short piece from the end, trim it to fit, and stick that in the tailpipe. Wait till your baby quietens down and remove.
@@tama47_ how is putting a car in reverse going to lessen the sound ? Cold starts with loud exhaust are bad regardless of the cars position or location. Especially if it’s near buildings and it’s echoing off all the walls
Im still waiting for my GR86. I ordered it in July, and it was supposed to be ready by the end of February, but there was a delay. Urgh! It's already been 6-7 months!
I have an MST cold air intake as well as an MBRP 5in dual axle back exhaust. Cold start is a little loud. But the rumble and pops on downshifts are mint. Only issue is I'm getting decent vibrations from the intake and I can't seem to diagnose where its coming from.
Can you try the full titanium exhaust from npboosted ? That's a lot of weight saving for less than 1000 bucks, and it's all resonated and 2.75 instead of 3/3.5 awe. I think the factionfab titanium exhaust is the npboosted rebranded . Sorry for my English :)
Any collab plans? If money isn't too big of an issue, maybe a roadtrip vlog in the GR86. Visit come other creators and film some content. Keep it up bro!

Camera and mic set up used for your video?
When you mentioned the Sayber Designs GT kit you could have added a picture of it to the video. I know it's nitpicky but hoping for the best for you !
It would be great to see you test fit a Tomei Type 60S! Everyone goes for the louder 60R and 80TI so it would be great to see what the 60S sounds like
Once I can afford this as my 2nd car, i want it to be EXACTLY as yours is. Amazing man.
Great summary! Using your build as a spec sheet… still patiently waiting for my GR86 to finally be built
For exhaust, why not use valvetronic muffler system? Lets you switch off and on the loudness
Thought about the @GKTech angle kit? It'll help with... parking in difficult spaces...
...yeah.
I think that'd be a bit of a reach for my build haha
I agree that the oem tail lights look really good on these.
lip kit or side skirts would be cool to go with that front lip. also once the new borla exhausts come out, especially the new atak type (which wasn't on the last gen) that would be fun too
Definitely going to have a full kit soon!
Thanks to you I've also got the JDM side markers and did the third brake light mod to the OEM housing. 10/10 mods.
Would love to see the seibo carbon fiber hood! They look so sick and would go well with the gloss black on the top 👌
can you put a series of how you got the wheels that tight? I feel like alot went into it, I'd love to get that look without screwing it up...
Greddy sp - hands down the best exhaust for the money. Second pick would be csg mxp spec it’s also amazing, both are pretty tame! Also… I have a used set of b14 coilovers with HVT top hats and reseng 2 inch extended top hats. I’d let ‘em go to you for 900 shipped. 5k miles on em.
What happened with the RTV/Oil issue?
Has that been fixed or any updates on how that's coming along?
I'm planning on buying one In God Willing soon
We need some more sound clips or fly bys from ur set up man❤
I'll have some once it warms up!

Whats the difference between the EL and UEL headers? Which produce more power. And doesn't make the car sound like its lactose intolerant😬😬
Super charging it would be sick, if I get one I would like to do that
Does the Fumoto drain valve have acceptable clearance with the plate? Or do you have to leave the plate off?
You can easily put the plate back on.
i’m curious to see how a full max orido aero kit would look. front lip side skirts diffuser etc.
Kevin, just spitting out these videos. Keep it up man
You’ve already got the RGB headlights. Go all the way and throw on some underglow!
That though has crossed my mind! Maybe after a lip kit.
Would love more of a review style video. I ran full whiteline catalog on my Sti and Cusco on my forester xt. My st built for touge racing was amazing no clunks or noises but with my xt using Cusco I had a lot of clunks. Now that I am building my gr86se10thA I am leaning towards whiteline again.

two things I wanna do on mine: Put in a bigger break kit up front and a catback exhaust: probably the Greddy Evo GT.
I'd like to do a big brake kit eventually.
What coil overs are you thinking of changing to? Also I'm curious to see how the Corsa exhaust would sound with your current header / over and down pipe setup.
Some great mods!! One i really want for my GR are the CF mirror covers. Have a link for them i can have please?
Great video, gave me some mod ideas!👍

What do you think about the automatic transmission in these cars? Are they numb or are they still a capable platform?
I personally have not driven the auto in these cars so I couldn't tell you. I've heard from automatic owners that it's still very much enjoyable.
Do you have any recommendations for where to buy used wheels? Anything other than Facebook marketplace or sites like that?
If you ever do a swaybar (and endlink) install video, can you also do a review/first impression reaction video? Every time I see an install video for the swaybar, they don't drive it to show their initial thoughts on it
Awesome content. What coilovers are you switching to? Also how about the GR Performance exhaust?

hi Kevin, any feedback on just changing the exhaust headers? keeping the rest of the exhaust piping system stock. Thanks in advance
is there a possibility that we will be able to tune out a loud cold start on this car?
U should install some speakers or sub
If you haven't done it already, can you do an MTEC clutch spring install? I'm looking to get it for my brz soon.
Great build summary! I look forward the continuation! Carbon fiber hood would be dope. Not sure what to do about the exhaust. Tomei would be cool because titanium but probably loud af too.
Can you please do header, over pipe, front pipe and oem catback
I'll see what I can do!
I was suggesting that because I was wondering if you can still get HP gains from doing header back with a stock cat back while still being quiet (or not obnoxious) thank you!
@@zeroproblems2889 you definitely can! The stock catback isn't going to bottleneck an NA system.

Hi kev. What is the best Short Shifter for you thankyou ✌🏼
If you are changing exhaust would love a see the MAPerformance Catback exhaust for sure

Nah fuck them
Or like… just put the car in reverse y’know… it’ll take longer to warm up, but better than getting noise complaints

@@KingOfEden12 idk about other cars, but the GR86 does that. Why? Because I actually own the car and have loud exhaust

Do you ever plan on wrapping the rest of the car?
It's a thought in the back of my mind. I'm not sure if I will though.
Kevin, why don’t you install some carbon fiber hood struts.
is ur paint standard gr86 paint? or is it a new paint
great video and love how your 86 is coming together! my brother and I also just bought your taillight overlays and they look great🤙🏼
What are you doing with the stock seats? 🙂🙃🙂
Can you try the full titanium exhaust from npboosted ? That's a lot of weight saving for less than 1000 bucks, and it's all resonated and 2.75 instead of 3/3.5 awe.
I think the factionfab titanium exhaust is the npboosted rebranded .
Sorry for my English :)
I want one of these so bad man... Love the video Kevin 🙌
2 questions, is it even legal to drive with differnt color headlights? Where do the RGB headlights come from?
Would love to hear how the Apexi N1X sounds with headers!
Maybe do a anti roll bar install video
Lets gooo Kevin. Loving the content bro🙌🏻👍🏻
Any collab plans? If money isn't too big of an issue, maybe a roadtrip vlog in the GR86. Visit come other creators and film some content. Keep it up bro!
Hol up. I thought theres already a stock oil cooler in the gr86?
No mention of the short throw?
Any progress on the sensors for the seat?
Could you give link for the JDM clear side markers?

Test out Magnaflow exhaust!
Any sound clips of your current exhaust?
dude those wheels omggggggggg
Try the MAPerformance exhaust!!!
So 245's won't rub whatsoever?
the dream, but i couldn’t even change the gear knob on my vw correctly
I found the HP 😊 Can you remove the pitiful top speed limiter?
Where did you get the Bride seats from?
can you upload the jackson racing oil cooler if possible :D Ive always watch your vids for install guides
My previous employer owns that video.
test the ISR dual exhaust for the zn8
Just notice the carbon front lip is removed. Why?
Couldn't get up my driveway 😅 I need to build some ramps.
Great video!!
Brid? It's bbbrrrriiieeeyyydddd!
I'm surprised no one is talking about his hp gains
Thank you👍💪
Thank you!!!
Turbo?
Kevin the goat
should've used all that money to buy a carbonfiber drives haft, trunk, and hood. Instead of the carbon fiber mirror caps and interior bits
Next mod rear window tint?
awesom vid! dream car of mine, hope to own one one day! 😁
for a automatic transmission is it possible to even upgrade the clutch the same as a manual? such as a clutch kit
No, the transmission in an automatic is completely different.
Do you have a rear bumper lip?
I have a voltex rear diffuser.
100% needs a vertex wheel
Very nice! 🔥
No demon anything on my brz lol
Hks supercharger
Kevin, what do you think about going over your camera setup to get the amazing shots you capture?
That's on my list! I just need to figure out how I'm going to film that video if I'm going to be showcasing the camera I use at the same time haha
