For the misfire, some things to check out are plugs, coil packs, injectors, and compression. You can try switching them around between cylinders to see if the misfire follows and then pinpoint what’s failing. Just did my plugs today and can confirm it’s a pain and a half lol
For the frs, start with the small/cheaper things first and if those don’t work then go up the more expensive things, I wouldn’t think the motor is gone. And as for the brz, it’s a nice tone, not raspy like I’ve seen from other setups. Definitely do the headers to see how it changes it 🔥 going great!
If it’s miss firing at idle it’s a fuel issue. And a flashing check engine light is usually an emission issue. Maybe it’s running rich and causing some fuel to leak into the catalytic converters.
I love it . It’s got a nice aggressive deep tone without too much drone. Not overly loud or obnoxious but still a nice tone which will turn heads . That’s just my opinion I don’t want a loud exhaust though . I can’t find a sound I like for my brz (when it arrives ) but I do like this 😀 cheers
For the misfire issue I would try to find a workshop camera even if it’s borrowed maybe autozone may have them for rent, remove the spark plug from cylinder 3, and check for cracks, metal deposits, valve sitting, it’s the easiest way to check for your self if it is superficial damage or internal, other wise you’d have to pull all the spark plugs and cross check compression across all cylinders and see if it in fact has lower compression best of wishes🤞
I have a manual 2003 Camry Sportivo, radiator blew up on it over 10 years ago. Check engine line comes on all the time, constantly in limp mode so good luck with sorting that out. I think mine is just a general electromechanical issue. At least you get some kind of readout. Want to buy the GR86, won't be released in my country until the second half of this year which pisses me off as I'm stuck with this car of mine that perpetually lives in limp mode.
I had that problem in my Audi all I had to do was replace the coil for cylinder 6 but I’d recommend to just replace all so they all fire up the same sending the same amount of spark to the spark plugs
Had that happen to me when i accidentally shifted from 3rd to 1st and it redlined so hard that the check engine light started flashing and it would not let me go past 20 MPH driving from Huntington Beach to East LA. And i had my hazards on the whole time. Nothing to worry about. Just change my Ignition Coil Pack and went back to normal
Keep up the good work Chris! And it sounds fantastic, I’m just waiting for it to get dumb loud lol. Also please keep putting bloopers in the vids like that, those were funny 😭👌🏾
I like it. Headers will raise the volume just a bit. I’d like if you made this build OEM+ = every build doesn’t have to be as extreme as the FRS. Nice quality sound- not blaring loud
I love that the car continues to be in production but imo the spoiler on the newer ones is hideous. The 2013 limited stock spoiler is perfect and they didn’t need to do anything to It.
same thing happened to me in my 20’ sti with 14k miles. Didn’t drive the car for a week or so because i ended up getting covid, then i cleared the code and reset the ecu. Car drove fine for about a week and a half. Then on last week friday, it began knocking outta no where so come to conclusion that i have rod knock 💔💔💔
Just found your channel, dig your content! So envious of your 22 BRZ, South Africa is so delayed even if you have the money we haven't gotten the BRZ or GR86 let alone Golf R and limited GTI units...love how the US always gets certain cars so quick. Btw that outake with your friend sticking his fist in the exhaust tip was hilarious 🤣 Also that exhaust is way too quite my personal preference is loud and raspy 😄😬 definitely not worth the $750!
Frs stole my heart once you got that new color and brz idk I feel like it will sound a lot better once it’s catless and with the headers way to quiet rn but all love
@@chris_borges wow I kinda felt like that was gonna be the next mod. You still have so much more potential for the car to be louder. Still got both cats lol
I really like this setup, and yea I can't wait to hear it with the header on! Should be loud enough then. I like the tone of it though! Sounds good man!
If you blew the motor you would know you did (I would know, I've blown 2 motors) . Could come back to what you've already mentioned. Spark plugs, coil packs, injectors, even check the fuel pump.
Sounds quiet. Like if they did what they should from the factory. Not bad. The Greddy Evo GT axleback sounds louder and lower (and I'd say better too). But with the headers back done, it should sound pretty good. Can't wait to hear it.
Nice video as always! Loving the new exhaust as well! And I actually did have a question: So my car is lowered and I have my Verus LCA already should I also buy toe arms or keep the stock toe arms? Figured I would ask you since you did just install the LCA and Toe arms.
Sucks to hear that about the FRS, hopefully you can get it sorted! I had a misfire in the same bank but not from banging off rev, but when I was swapping plugs and didn't torque down the plugs to spec (and dropped a coilpack on the ground, so replaced it 🙃) so hopefully it'll be an easy fix! Edit: Danny is going to single-handedly get your videos demonitized every video 😂😂 a**l leakage
Happen to me while I was flooring it and notice my car bogging and bam check engine light but mine was a solid light and got cylinder 2 misfire. So I change all my spark plug and coil packs. I can confirm it is a huge pain to replace but after you get use to doing the first two it’s a breeze. The easiest side is the passenger side . You can also raise the engine up a little for a little but clearance also
Love the content Broskie! I’ve been watching you since the beginning, and you’ve come a long way can’t wait to cop that Pullover 💙 You should check your Coilpack on cylinder 3. I know it’s not the same car but my s2k in the past had a flashing CEL, and was misfiring. Changed out the coil pack, and it ran normal again. Hopefully the FRS comes back sooner than later ❤️
I have the polished tip MXP COMP-RS on my ‘13 FRS and love the way the car sounds. I live close to a police station where cops are common during my daily commute so currently on the stock header. Car is already loud for me with just the exhaust so could only imagine adding a header. But can’t wait to hear how the Tomei header sounds paired with the COMP-RS. Maybe it’ll get me to risk it all. 😏
How is the drone in the cabin? Sounds really solid for just a cat-back. My old 16' BRZ had a N1 catback with UEL headers, sounded sick but long drives were tiring lmao.
I think the exhaust will be perfect with the header install. Not too loud and not too quiet 👌
Yessir!
I Would hate it if it was any louder. It is pretty good with the new cat back.
For the misfire, some things to check out are plugs, coil packs, injectors, and compression. You can try switching them around between cylinders to see if the misfire follows and then pinpoint what’s failing. Just did my plugs today and can confirm it’s a pain and a half lol
Did it a few times and it destroys your hands. 😩😂
@@chris_borges mine did the same after new plugs and coils. Turns out my ecu ground wasn't tight enough

💯

Sounds really nice actually, does need to be louder for sure
👀👀
gunna sound loud and good with the headers
Sounds great as it is without the downpipe/headers
I love it . It’s got a nice aggressive deep tone without too much drone. Not overly loud or obnoxious but still a nice tone which will turn heads . That’s just my opinion I don’t want a loud exhaust though . I can’t find a sound I like for my brz (when it arrives ) but I do like this 😀 cheers
This
Had the same exhaust on my first gen and it’s still one of my fav sounding exhaust
Ayyy 🔥
Bro you should definitely keep putting bloopers in the end 🤣 shits mad funny
Hahaha bet!
Sounds good love the way it looks but the wrx still is my favorite build of yours but can't wait to see the brz to 🔥🔥
Miss it already!
@@chris_borges good!!! Get it back!!!! Hahahaha jk... but not really... 👀
@@chris_borges haha I've missed it before it was gone and it isn't even mine
Waiting to take delivery of my BRZ in a month or two, and this exhaust is going to be perfect for it. Much love man thanks!

yoooo this is a perfect exhaust atleast for me not too loud or quiet. great video my guy, keep up the solid work !
appreciate it bro!
Danny at the end with the exhaust was the funniest, Merch copped!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
the cinematic at the beginning is SO clean I rewatched it like 5 times 🥵🥵
🙏🏻❤️

i like the sound of the cat back setup only...it's decent and not too loud
The 86’s is like the “civic” of the rwd chassis basically 💯
Oh by the way… check out Devin Niemela’ BRZ… his is super loud and I think he added UEL headers as well.
I had that problem in my Audi all I had to do was replace the coil for cylinder 6 but I’d recommend to just replace all so they all fire up the same sending the same amount of spark to the spark plugs
Thanks man 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love that deep Bass tone from the exhaust!
For the misfire I believe it could be the coil packs that went bad .. that would cause the check engine light to flash
probably fuel injectors , happened to mine before
💯
Just had the same issue last week with my wrx, cylinder 3 misfire and flashing check engine light. I replaced my spark plugs and it fixed the issue
Great to know 🙏🏻
Had that happen to me when i accidentally shifted from 3rd to 1st and it redlined so hard that the check engine light started flashing and it would not let me go past 20 MPH driving from Huntington Beach to East LA. And i had my hazards on the whole time. Nothing to worry about. Just change my Ignition Coil Pack and went back to normal
Glad you got it fixed man! Thanks for the tip. 🙏🏻
Not a fan of catless personally. A high quality catted header makes just as much power and doesnt sound like a weed whacker. RAAAAAASP
I think it would be cool to see more of your regular daily life mixed in with your car content, I could see that taking your videos to the next level
Will do 💯
Keep up the good work Chris! And it sounds fantastic, I’m just waiting for it to get dumb loud lol. Also please keep putting bloopers in the vids like that, those were funny 😭👌🏾
Bet haha! 😂❤️
I like it. Headers will raise the volume just a bit. I’d like if you made this build OEM+ = every build doesn’t have to be as extreme as the FRS. Nice quality sound- not blaring loud
I recently got a check engine and a traction light with loss of power I hope my FRS will be good as new🙏
This is the best exhaust set up For sure, but the headers are gonna Change it big time Lol the bloopers at the end 😂🤌🏾💥💯❤️🔥
If you hear a vacuum leak make sure to check the hose under the intake manifold
First time here, that intro was badass
I love that the car continues to be in production but imo the spoiler on the newer ones is hideous. The 2013 limited stock spoiler is perfect and they didn’t need to do anything to It.
Go back to a set of coilovers and color me impressed.
can’t wait to finish my build and pull up to a chris borges car show!!
Ayy looking forward to that 👀👀
Check your Coils
Switch 3 with 4 and see if it changes if it does you have a bad coil
lets go bro, love the bloopers at the end. So excited for the headers
"Oh my gosh bro" 😂😂. Loved the bloopers.
same thing happened to me in my 20’ sti with 14k miles.
Didn’t drive the car for a week or so because i ended up getting covid, then i cleared the code and reset the ecu.
Car drove fine for about a week and a half.
Then on last week friday, it began knocking outta no where so come to conclusion that i have rod knock 💔💔💔
Noooo 🥲🥲🥲
Love the bloopers/shenanigans at the end😂😂😂
Exhaust sounds great, not to loud
Those cinematics for the merch were fucking heatttttttttt 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Looks like a cute squirrel from the front nice

That exhaust looks so dang good big dawg!
Damn bro I went to purchase a T-shirt and no 3xl’s dude hook us big boys up….
Frs stole my heart once you got that new color and brz idk I feel like it will sound a lot better once it’s catless and with the headers way to quiet rn but all love
💯💯💯
This is my favorite brz out there rn!😍
Ayyy means a lot!!
good choice for an exhaust. with the UEL headers the car will be SO much louder
Yessir! Installed it already and LOVE it.
@@chris_borges wow I kinda felt like that was gonna be the next mod. You still have so much more potential for the car to be louder. Still got both cats lol
Otay lakes shot for the intro LIT
💪🏼
same thing happened w my bim it was just spark plugs and coil packs
Love you man :))) always looked up to you from the day you started🙌🏼 thanks !!
Much love bro ❤️
These new brz are starting to grow on me
🔥🔥🔥🔥
So happy to see where you are right now in life man it’s so crazy been here since your frs was dark blue. Keep it up Bro 💯🤜🏽
Day 1 fr, appreciate you big time. 💪🏼
I really like this setup, and yea I can't wait to hear it with the header on! Should be loud enough then. I like the tone of it though! Sounds good man!
Man I miss the WRX the BRZ just doesn't do it for me. Glad you're enjoying it tho...
Exhaust sounds good dude! Better than most I’ve heard on new 2.4L’s
Thanks man!
i just got home from work and i wasnt going to watch this video until i got food. gotta watch something while eating ha
Vibesss
If you blew the motor you would know you did (I would know, I've blown 2 motors)
. Could come back to what you've already mentioned. Spark plugs, coil packs, injectors, even check the fuel pump.
I had same thing with cylinder 3. Common occurrence is bad coil pack with boosted twins apparently.
I'm pretty sure most of the frs mods from the first generation can be swapped straight into the new gen
I love the bloopers at the end lmfaooo
love the beginning shots
Sounds good but you already know how perfect the tomei would be on this
Can’t leave us hanging like that 😩, can’t wait for the next video
If you find out the problem to ur Frs lmk I am having the same issue literally 😅 haven't been able to fix it lol
Sounds quiet. Like if they did what they should from the factory. Not bad. The Greddy Evo GT axleback sounds louder and lower (and I'd say better too). But with the headers back done, it should sound pretty good. Can't wait to hear it.
Just 30 seconds in the video and it’s already 🔥🔥🔥btw just placed an order on the merch🔥
Means a lot! 🙏🏻
The exhaust tip on the left is higher than the right’s. My OCD cant take it right now 😂😅
Nice video as always! Loving the new exhaust as well! And I actually did have a question: So my car is lowered and I have my Verus LCA already should I also buy toe arms or keep the stock toe arms? Figured I would ask you since you did just install the LCA and Toe arms.
I would get toe arms for max adjustability!
Sounds alot better, can't wait too get my GR86
Love the little bloopers at the end
😂❤️
Sucks to hear that about the FRS, hopefully you can get it sorted! I had a misfire in the same bank but not from banging off rev, but when I was swapping plugs and didn't torque down the plugs to spec (and dropped a coilpack on the ground, so replaced it 🙃) so hopefully it'll be an easy fix!

Hopefully! 🙏🏻 And fr!! 😂😂😂
The intro fire 🔥 🔥🔥you need to start your videos with that intro ✊🏽💪🏽🤞🏽
I would personally go with motiv front pipe & overpipe.
i fw you cause the hoodie isn’t like $80 i feel like a lot of people be taxing
🤝💯
sounds soo good😮💨
I think with the headers and front pipe it should sound great. But has a surprising baby rumble on the stock headers. Tips look sick though!🤙🏻
wow those wheels look amazing on the car
Just copped the new merch drop! So excited for it! Loving these new gen BRZ vids! Happy holidays y’all!
Happy holidays bro! Truly appreciate it big time. 🙏🏻
Watching your vids really make me miss my frs
🥲🥲🥲
That intro is dope! 💯
Thanks bro! All shot by @jleeems and @leeemousine on instagram!
IM SAYINGGGGGGGGGG
reminds me of the Invidia N2 which is what I have on my FRS, noticeably deep but just enough more volume to avoid trouble
💯
Chris gonna be the first to do everything on this platform lol🔥
Had a gt350 that dropped a valve and it sounded similar to your frs
Happen to me while I was flooring it and notice my car bogging and bam check engine light but mine was a solid light and got cylinder 2 misfire. So I change all my spark plug and coil packs.

Hopefully the FRS comes back sooner than later ❤️
same happened to my sentra
I’ll give it a shot 🙏🏻
Always watch your videos. I've seen your parents in some of the vids. What do they think about you and your cars??
They like them!
LMAOOO The bloopers are a huge vibe🤙🏽😂
Hahaha imma try and do them more 😂

Oooo it sounds crazy!! 🔥🔥
uel’s gon make it sound even better imo
Have it on rn and can’t wait to show you guys 🔥
Good tone but looking forward to the header and front pipe!
Should of gone with the new jdl exhaust that they are making. I just got the quad tip ones.
Let’s just wait and hear the potential of that system once you install everything that will help it flow more.
Yessir 😮💨😮💨😮💨
I like this exhaust! Definitely considering on getting this one.
good choices my guy
thanks bro!
How is the drone in the cabin? Sounds really solid for just a cat-back. My old 16' BRZ had a N1 catback with UEL headers, sounded sick but long drives were tiring lmao.
Not bad at all!
Enjoyed the bloopers at the end lol, do more!
Haha bet!
YOO LOVE THE WAY IT SOUNDS AND LOVE THE NEW EXHAUST IT SOUNDS AMAZING!!!!!!!!
thanks bro!
your motor is done
rip
