BEST TITANIUM EXHAUST! Tomei DUAL Exit Catback for the GR86/BRZ

[@KevinVo]

Congratulations 🎉 to kruiz17 for winning the giveaway of the Driven Media care package!

[@rasldazzle3810]

Hey kevin

[@MolonFrikenLabe]

Bro, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you making this content. I own a gr86 and plan on modifying it as soon as I'm not so freaking busy in this life. Having all of your tutorials and experience at my fingertips is going to make my process a whole lot easier. Thank you so much for spending all the money, time, and effort to make these videos. Absolutely means the world to me bro. Thank you man.

[@KevinVo]

Thank you for watching and supporting!!

[@OhZhuZhu]

Really like the sound of this exhaust. Love the deep tones and the fact that it burbles when you downshift is huge plus for me. I also appreciate that it doesn't have as loud of a cold start as the awe touring.

[@KevinVo]

The cold start is much more pleasant now for sure haha

[@admireinspire]

Sounds great. I always loved the tomei weight savings and value but hated the single exit. This fixes that I'm in love.

[@rookietoprobuildz]

My perfect exhaust setup = quiet when casual driving + loud enough when heavy on the throttle. Found it for my 2013 FRS 🎉

[@KevinVo]

It's great!!

[@mac_life]

Hands down at the top of my list of purchases when my ‘23 BRZ comes in. I love the sound of this exhaust!

[@josephchristoff8058]

Thanks for this vid. Going from a 600 whp 06 sti to a 2024 gr86. The sound of this exhaust is exactly what I’m looking for. Excellent vid man!

[@masbros805]

yes please! do another followup video soon. id love to know your thoughts! also you usually do this but for installs like this for a first timer, try to include tips and tricks if there are any so if someone was to do this in the future, we can come back to this video. thanks and great vid!

[@KevinVo]

I'll keep that in mind. I figured some people may get tired of watching me do exhaust installs haha

[@kn1vez06]

@@KevinVo Never! Comparisons are so inconsistent between creators. Whether that be because of the flow or style of the video, or simply just having one place to see all your options with the same video / sound setup helps making that first exhaust decision a lasting one.

[@NoHoHank]

I got my single Tomei v2… looking forward to installing it… the dual one looks so good!

[@gryphon123456]

I like the exhaust tips on the one you took off better tbh. I find the one wall tips tend to look kind of cheap by comparison. Just my humble opinion. Sounds really good tho! 👌🏻

[@KevinVo]

Fair enough!

[@Mok3sp33d]

Being a former FRS owner, I have been constantly trying to convince myself the past few years not to jump into a GR86. Watching all your recent videos is making me heavily reconsider that. Your content reminds me of all the joy that came from building the FRS up from stock form. Thank you for taking the time and resources to experiment with exhaust setups as we all know there are so many possible for the 86/BRZ platform!

[@AznBoiJT]

I’m more interested in what the exhaust sounds like with aftermarket headers.

[@tama47_]

I want to hear with UEL

[@CP_3PO]

It’s loud AF. I have this setup and just took off my JDL UEL headers

[@razokevX]

​@@CP_3PO are you catted or catless?

[@CP_3PO]

[@GhxstMode]

Yeah this is the part where I left

[@jameswiebe9211]

I absolutely love everything about that exhaust except for one minor detail. I cannot stand to look at the white ring inside of the exhaust tip. If there is some way to just make it black or even to not stand out too much, after that it would be a 10/10 for me. Btw, love the content Kevin, I binged the entire series up to this point and you have made me want this car even more. It's quite funny because when this car first dropped I didn't care for it very much. But over time and watching your videos, I now NEED to get my hands on one. Keep up the grind brother, good things are coming.

[@SounderMusician]

been waiting for more exhaust videos! how does this compare with the AWE touring for you?

[@KevinVo]

In terms of volume I'd say they are similar except the AWE has a very loud cold start while the Tomei is more well mannered. The AWE is still a great option, but in terms of both looks and sound I think the Tomei eeks it out. It's all personal preference though. I am really drawn to how this exhaust looks.

[@Daledugahole]

There is no comparison between this and the AWE touring it's like comparing chalk and cheese. You didn't ask but that's just my opinion 🤔

[@Barbwire710]

@@Daledugahole so which one sounds better to you. The tomei?

[@Daledugahole]

@@Barbwire710 Nah, the AWE. The other two that sound awesome are the MXP Comp RS and Ark Performance GRiP. Just my opinion of course everyone is different and likes different sounds.

[@BRZLiam]

When I get my next car (GR86/Gen 2 BRZ), this is going to be one of the exhaust setups I’ll be looking at👍🏻

[@mayyar]

Much better than the previous one, the best until now! Thanks, man for trying it out 👌🏼

[@thewanderingdrive]

Great video as always! Love the little details like stepping out onto your porch. Keep up the great work. Best BRZ/86 content out there by far!

[@KevinVo]

Much appreciated!

[@tokiohotelsucks123]

Makes sense, the header doesn't do too much on these cars anyways.

[@Monkeyboy1995project]

Another great video/ tutorial. Can't wait to have one as well. The 86 sounds clean, and Hella mean now.

[@Reminding1996]

I'm getting a gr86 in a few weeks definitely getting this exhaust system for mine😍😍😍

[@mazpr2025]

Type D dual exit exhaust - $1,890.00 (as of June 2023). Let's see how the price fluctuates as time goes on. Great video, watch it all. I like the fit finish, it looks amazing, but one thing, the tone is the same throughout the rev range, is too monotone. I would put headers and have a v-band section with resonator(s).

[@dractowry9809]

Updated price is 1,700 as on feb 2024

[@hatteras33]

On video, it sounds pretty similar to the AWE to me. (with the rest of exhaust parts being stock). I like both!

[@bjornsama9649]

Cannot go wrong with Tomei.

[@tonysevere5243]

This is the exhaust I have chosen for my build. Thank you great channel

[@KevinVo]

[@HippoReacts]

I've been trying to order mine since this morning! So excited and can't wait to put this on. Currently have the Type-80 and it is by far my favorite exhaust for this car!

Can you show us which one is better the A'PEXi - N1 Evo Extreme or Tomei Type-D Dual

[@MagicMaster234]

[@tedkendrick]

Get the MAPerformance catback exhaust. Sounds just as good if not better and is half the cost. After watching every video I could find on all the exhaust options for the 22+ BR86 twins I went with the MAP and am REALLY glad I did. Zero complaints.

[@tedkendrick]

Not sponsored. Zero ties to the company. Just a really happy customer.

[@warlockd8660]

Beautiful looks & sound. If I had super deep pockets, I'm eyeing the Tom's quad exhaust. What are your thoughts? Multiple exhaust video?

[@KevinVo]

I'm personally not a fan of the quad tip look. I just think it's too much exhaust for car haha

[@PingWon]

If I may ask, why change from AWE to Tomei? Is it because of loudness? I thought the loudness was from catless?

[@KevinVo]

Cold start mainly, but I also just like changing things up and testing mew setups!

The titanium exhaust is pretty.

[@zangovu]

Would be cool if someone created a block off cap so you can block either side of the exhaust and essentially create a single exhaust on either side or keep it dual.

That would be cool!

Thanks for doing it with the stock header. I like the look of AWE tips better since it has this perfection of fitment. But I do love the sound of both AWE touring and this new Tomei. If you don't mind sharing what is your preference and why?

[@KevinVo]

It's a hard choice. You made good points, the black tips on the AWE are great. The cold start is very obnoxious though. The Tomei isn't as bad on cold start. The volume of the. Is pretty close. The Tomei is beautifully built though and that for me gives it a slight edge.

[@xcuses101]

I'm extremely curious which exhaust you prefer between this Tomei and the AWE Touring????

[@KevinVo]

It's a very tough question because there are things about each one that I absolutely love. The AWE has an amazing deep tone to it and the diamond black tips look fantastic. The Tomei is very lightweight, obviously looks great as well and also has a good exhaust tone but they do sound different. The AWE has a deeper tone compared to the Tomei. It also has a very loud cold start. I honestly can't choose between the two of them haha

[@fearlessknight1343]

Did not notice too much droney-ness. Would like to hear how this compares to the Apexi N1. Debating as i like a settle, quiet cabin.

[@KevinVo]

Not too much drone at all with the stock setup. The Apex N1-X I tested had a very nice tone to it that was moderate in volume. I need to try another one of their exhausts.

[@dylanvu945]

Stupid question, how do you align the exhaust for the tips to be symmetrical? My passenger side exhaust tip is hanging higher than the driver side. I tried positioning the rubber exhaust hangers..but they just settle in whatever position they want to lol.

[@KevinVo]

You want to adjust it from the front of the car to the back so I'd suggest loosening everything and start at the y pipe to make some adjustments there and then tighten and adjust the muffler angles.

[@Joftaky]

Kevin, can I ask you a question, hopefully you'll read this as I haven't found the correct forum to post question. As a subscriber to your channel, I'm sure you'll know more than pretty much most of the people out there anyway as you've dabbled in so many different exhaust systems. I bought a quad titanium tip exhaust (axel back) from Toms Racing for my GR86 and it's so quiet I can barely hear it, it does have a bark on the higher end which is nice, but low down, it sounds stock as. I initially tried the dual tips which is a cat-back and there was so much drone around the 3-4000 rpm that it was doing my head in. So between the two, I've had to opt on this one. Can you advise where can I get a mid-pipe that will increase the noise levels down low (resonated like stock) but give it a little more growl and sound down low towards idle? Do all mid-pipes connect at the same point like this axel-back does for bolt on install? Or will fabrication be required?

[@dimitrimolzen3581]

Hey I just got my type D installed today. I noticed that the muffler hangs kinda low. My plan was to lower the car on coil overs but now I’m thinking it’s gonna drag on the ground any tips for this?
