The hks looks like it has better quality made and quality control than my borla catback exhaust. Japanese exhaust is always better than American exhaust. Better quality control
Sounds awesome! I’m buying one as soon as they get back in stock. Everybody is sold out. I’ve seen two different versions of the Spec L for our cars. The one like you have and one that has longer different looking tips. Do you know what the difference is?
Just got this on my BRZ ts and loving it so far,! I’ve got a bit of spare cash for some extra noise however don’t want to get to the header just yet, would you recommend a front or Overpipe and catted or catless to squeeze some more noise?
If you're going for just noise I think if you did an aftermarket front pipe that would be enough-- I might not do catless though unless you're getting a flame tune because it could get raspy
I’d recommend go with JDl duel resonated front pipe . That’s what I have currently paired with my hks L2 and it’s amazing sound and minimal to almost no drone as well . But from outside it’s a banger .
I saw this exhaust locally to me and started to wonder what those were on the tips of the exhaust. Suprised they were carbon fiber! nice! definitely give you some good amount of street cred lol!. Sounds good too!
Walker are you still happy with this system? We bought a 2019 this week (same color) so I keep watching your content. Really like the look debadged. I know I told you that already. Anyway, really don’t want any drone. I thought that Helmholtz chamber was supposed to help with that. Just wanted to make sure you were still happy. My wife daily’s ours and we are almost 50 so don’t really want the drone. Really like the sound on yours though. Great job!
Thanks! Yeah I really like the HKS setup-- great quality part overall! Honestly I'm thinking about going louder & maybe single exit when I get a Varis rear bumper. Definitely zero highway drone, only noise it makes at all is accelerating uphill. There is a slight boom in 2nd/3rd gear around 2.8-3k RPM on an uphill or engine braking scenario but only for a brief moment so definitely manageable (personally I like the boom on decel). Would be careful with an Auto trans though if it hangs out in that rev range all the time, manual will be fine for sure
Lord Walker thanks so much! I really don’t want to be buying multiple exhaust systems to get the right one for us so I appreciate your thoughts and advice. I wonder how much louder it will be with a header? Lol. Thankfully in SC we don’t have any emissions testing and law enforcement seems to ignore loud exhaust. I really love the way the HKS system looks on that color, especially with the carbon fiber wrapped tips.
@@toddkokko5049 I think it would get quite a bit louder with UEL header but would probably still be fine at cruising because of the Helmholtz. EL prob not that much of a difference other than on WOT
Lord Walker Cool! Thanks man! What years is your car? Hhh when I look up on hks website they just showing 2013+ , but some one told me brz changed after 2017, so I’m so confused about that.
I just got a 2020 86 will it matter the year on the car if i got this exhaust and does anyone know of a good website to buy this exhaust on im in California and concerned if it will ship because of the emission laws
I actually have a vid on my wheels if ya wanna check it out-- they're 18x9.5 +38. You can fit them on stock suspension but I wouldn't recommend it, looks like a 4x4 on 18s unless you lower.
Looks like it’s a pain in the ass to remove the stock exhaust with that rear diffuser in the BRZ, it gets in the way. I have a FRS . They don’t have that diffuser. Easier to remove
Lord Walker Installed the exhaust today with the help of my dad, love this exhaust set up so much! Appreciate the video, what song is playing during the time lapses?
I have currently have the HKS spec L2 on mine , it sounds amazing. Video on my channel if you want to see it . Now I have it paired with JDL uel header , jdl duel res front pipe , and now it sounds amazing, while almost no drone inside . Also tip for drone , take out your sound generator tube from inside , you can do that by changing your inlet tube to Perrin or mishimoto, it’s a cheap mod but reduces the inside drone by huge amount . Most of the drone people are complaining about actually comes from that sound generator tube . Hopefully it helps .
That last rev to 5k is 🍒 I think you picked a sweet exhaust man
Thanks man 👍
You have a good friend. I’m looking at this exhaust system myself
Just installed this today and your video was super helpful. Thanks!
Nice video, love the look of the Carbon tips. The hemholtz resonator on this gets rid of the drone. I bet this would sound nice with a UEL header.
I think ima roll with these. You swayed my mind. The carbon fiber tips are too dope

Good luck! Yeah the other version is titanium tips-- it's slightly louder and might drone more, but I've never heard it in person.
This is super helpful! Thank you so much!!
glad to help!
Just bought this today cos of this Video bro! Thank you
aye dope, congrats!
How is it? I’m tossing up between the corsa (heavy exhaust) or this
yeah, gonna need this exhaust. and to take the badges off mine. same color but a 2017 performance package car.
I want this exhaust! Thanks for the video :)
I have the same car lol! I really like that exhaust, I like the balance of sound and daily ability

Thanks! Yeah the carbon is definitely out of the norm 😂
this showed up while searching 86 stuff haha
damnnn that's hella old lol
Nice vid. I have the 2nd gen 2022. Seems like they tweaked the updated version. Looking to get that one. Trying to find one used.
if you really wanna hear your exhaust go into the trunk and fold your back seats down, trust me on this

BORLA axle back or this?? I’m so torn :((
I'm sure both are fine but the HKS definitely has a unique tone
Dope video
Hi Walker , Is this gonna fit 2020 model brz ? I really want this cat back exhaust! Thanks
Yeah it should, don't think they changed at all from 2017+
Lord Walker Cool! Thanks man! What years is your car? Hhh when I look up on hks website they just showing 2013+ , but some one told me brz changed after 2017, so I’m so confused about that.
@@张开-s7n Mine's a 2018, there was a redesign for the 2017 model year but catbacks almost all fit 2013+
@Lord Walker Thanks man ! I will get one tomorrow hhh
What torque specs did you use in the bolts?
good work :)
Thanks!
are those headers stock?
I’m trying to order one for my brz but everyone is sold out :( where did you order yours?
I got mine from Throtl I think, it's been a long time though
Yoo I remember your car from reddit haha!
ayeee whatup
Cool video thanks!
I just got a 2020 86 will it matter the year on the car if i got this exhaust and does anyone know of a good website to buy this exhaust on im in California and concerned if it will ship because of the emission laws
It ships. Catback is legal
@@GO-wb1gf i just ordered it the other fay i cant wait
nice car i have 2018 brz limited, i have Nvidia n2 exhaust & tomi headers, yeah it has a lot of drone but isn’t so bad if you have it in a higher gear
aye nice!
Lord Walker gonna follow you rn so i can send you some pictures
You have an ig?
What wheel size do you run ? Was looking to get bigger wheels on stock suspension but didn't wanna touch the fender or rub at all
I actually have a vid on my wheels if ya wanna check it out-- they're 18x9.5 +38. You can fit them on stock suspension but I wouldn't recommend it, looks like a 4x4 on 18s unless you lower.
@@walkerxxi I'm eventually gonna lower it, was just wondering if it'd fit without the fender. You got the link for the vid ?
@@go5779 th-cam.com/video/qNP9YjqEj40/w-d-xo.html&
@@walkerxxi thank you bro. Almost off work, I'll check it out!
where did you buy this?
Are you on coils?
Yeah I am, the car is actually sitting a little lower now-- I'm on HKS Hipermax GT coils
Looks like it’s a pain in the ass to remove the stock exhaust with that rear diffuser in the BRZ, it gets in the way. I have a FRS . They don’t have that diffuser. Easier to remove
It's aftermarket lol
Is there a header on this thing?
Hipower single racing v2 is the best
bro do you live in a palace 👀
What spoiler is that?! I want it for my FRS
OEM 2017+
Lord Walker thanks fam. Great video, Just bought this exhaust like 15 minutes ago 😂 gonna be using this video to help on my install
@@Dopey_909 sounds good! hope you like the HKS!
Lord Walker Installed the exhaust today with the help of my dad, love this exhaust set up so much! Appreciate the video, what song is playing during the time lapses?
Specifically at 10:08
Where did you get the exhaust?
I ordered it from throtl.com, but a lot of shops have it in stock
Do you have exhaust noise regulations in California?
Yeah it's under 100db, but they usually won't bother you unless your exhaust is super obnoxious
Lord Walker true. when you bought the exhaust, did you just have to hope it would fit all the hinges?
@@IsaacKelly2 fitment was perfect
Do you have a tune?
Nope, no tune-- completely stock other than sound tube delete
@@walkerxxi Are you planning to?
Nah, not unless I get a header or supercharger haha
@@walkerxxi I remember when i had the wrx the Cobb accesporrt made a huge difference,something to think about ;)

do you have videos of the jdl setup? you basically have what i am wanting for my car.
can you still do that in ca. lol
Whats that tool called ?
Exhaust hanger pliers I guess?
Kinda cringing when u called the mufflers “canisters “
I think they're actually resonators
Those are canister style mufflers
