[@aidanpropst1811]

Hammer will fix everything #fact

[@BenLovrien]

Very fact🤝

[@Mister_Aviles]

I’d recommend stiffer exhaust hangers. It will keep it from twisting so bad.

[@chonboi]

tomei actually does not recommend stiffer hangers cause it can break the exhaust.

[@okthen8445]

Remove the shield and wrap the exhaust with heat shield instead. Also stiffer hangers might help as well

[@Michael_Carroll]

Glad to hear that’s an easy fix… I couldn’t agree more that tomi is one of if not the best sounds exhausts for the brz/gr86

[@BenLovrien]

Has to be dude, has to be🙏🏼

[@Bro1000]

Good to know that and thanks for sharing the fix cuz I'll probably get the same exhaust 💯

[@RevolveAuto]

Glad you were able to figure it out! Loving the content man :)

[@JrodMediaa]

Any issues as of late? I’m trying to get this exhaust 😭😭

[@BenLovrien]

None! Definitely recommend doing what I did beforehand to save yourself the trouble.

[@JrodMediaa]

@@BenLovrien Big bets brotha thank you 🫶🏼

[@DriverGuy23]

“The wrong exhaust doesn’t fit my car. So, I’m just going to bang the shit out of it & Jerry-rig it instead of putting the oem exhaust back on and ordering the correct part” Geezus dude, take the mid-pipe to a exhaust shop and have them add a slight bend to it. You can see how sideways it is in the video. Easy and proper fix.

[@tomheringer2047]

Yep.

[@valtteritoivonen7804]

Great job, I'd apply some protective foil tape etc. on the transmission tunnel though, in case some dirt or debree gets in between the rubbing exhaust it might rig into the paint and cause rust issues in the long rung, but probably not. Just my OCD.

[@IamTerminaLance]

Emberassing tbh...

[@BenLovrien]

It was, very embarrassing tbh😂

[@kingrick307]

I have the same exhaust for my gr86 and tbh I haven’t seen anything wrong with it at all it just probably might be on how you put it on I assume who knows but I haven’t have a problem

[@samsmith4067]

So you adjusting the pipes fixed the problem and the heat wrap is on incase it does move again it won’t scrape?

[@isabellamatta1188]

“Hammer and whatever time” 😂😂😂

[@alamos8]

I think maybe the reason could be the metal expanding and contracting with heat, and those cycles could potentially re-shape the thing a bit. For example, the position of an exhaust tip when a car being driven with a hot engine versus when it’s parked and cold can differ markedly.

[@thijsrooijakkers2153]

That's the thing sometimes with aftermarket parts or parts that are not 100% specific to the car. First attempt to fix it, the Jeremy Clarkson way, is so recognizable LOL. Hope this wrap fixes the issue, would feel so good if the solution can be this easy and cheap. Sta safe and healthy. #TrueOG

[@mikedsfitnessjourney3400]

I just subscribed and I'm here in the Phoenix area also

[@XanGhost]

Hi Ben, Will not exhaust have problem with overheat or something?

[@sk-philthy]

Have the same exhaust, just ordered it I might go ahead and wrap it tbh, since I already have the wrap from my headers but what does everyone suggest?

[@alanperez4921]

Do it :/ mine did the same thing

[@sk-philthy]

@@alanperez4921 Appreciate it I will then, what year is yours ?

[@Camhill182]

Glad you figured it out. Really good editing, as well!

[@BenLovrien]

Haha thanks Cameron!

[@ChrisLowpes]

Hopefully this doesn’t happen to mine but if does at least there’s a fix! Thanks Ben!

[@BenLovrien]

I was thinkin ab you and your exhaust when I did this😂 I hope not too lol

[@ChrisLowpes]

@@BenLovrien lmao so far so good! I guess time will tell lol!

[@BenLovrien]

Well if it does happen, easy fix!

[@boost331]

My understanding is that all 1st gen exhausts fit the 2nd gen. I put the borla catback on mine about 3 weeks ago. Its been all good.

[@Speedster_ELuu86]

Most will fit, some will not

[@boost331]

@@Speedster_ELuu86 I have yet to hear of a system that doesnt fit. This specific one just looks like it needed the rear exhaust hanger bent a bit. I would have brought it to an exhaust shop before I messed with heat shields and wrapped it. There are several others using the same tomei kit on a 22 without reported problems. I bet its just an off spec part with an improperly bent\located hanger.

[@1avro]

The editing on this video was 👌🏽😂. It didn’t go unnoticed!

[@BenLovrien]

Glad you enjoyed that😂

[@mivecpower8462]

Nice sounds bro

[@matthewarteaga1448]

You can always heat wrap the exhaust

[@BenLovrien]

How far did you get in the video?😂 that’s too funny haha

[@Treaxvour]

Thanks for doing this. I'll probably go with the 60mm exhaust. Should fit a little better, and a couple pounds lighter

[@jonathanponce6946]

Didn’t know you were in the same area as Cameron! I haven’t seen a brz riding around the area. Hopefully one day I’ll get to see/hear it in person. Got an ST about two years ago and kinda wished I’d waited for the GR86 to come out!

[@chrisdz]

Doing the wrap on a straight pipe like that is fine.. but usually it helps to soak the wrap in water before you wrap to make it more plyable

[@min149]

Let me just finger cross mine won’t have this issue, cuz the same exhaust is already on my Brz for 4 days now. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@klaatuzogran4503]

Jeremy Clarkson would have used an angle grinder to cut a section out of the transmission tunnel 😏😜

[@holeshot26]

get rid of the resonator & you wont have that problem. that resonator is ridiculously huge!

[@Th3_0_h8]

Why didn't u just buy the hks cat back. It's a couple hundred more.

[@micahm157]

Try the Perrin 3 inch resonated cause it’s slept on as fuck.

[@Stigmaru]

Interesting that the Tomei doesn't stay in there well enough on the 22'

[@alandonnelly9788]

Nice 1 Ben hope that sorts the exhaust u looked so gutted at the start so got fingers crossed 4 u mate 👍

[@itstashaa]

at least the exhaust was saved, it sounds fire 🔥 i’m definitely excited for the next video though!!

[@mboss91]

sweet vid. kept it composed with the knocking issues too. nice dude

[@sbklvr]

Polyu mount time while you're at it, lol

[@alanperez4921]

Same shit happen to mine

[@brandonn2584]

Is this exhaust droney ?

[@T0YSOLDIERPRODUCTION]

Get ready for them headers bruh 💯

[@skunkiiee7333]

Any way we can tag tomei on this? So we can get a new gen exhaust for this

[@BenLovrien]

For real I wish they did

[@anishnar]

Posted this the second after I bought one for my car, sounds so good though goddamn

[@BenLovrien]

It’s worth it trust me🤝 worst case you just have to do what I did

[@slovrien0]

That's the way to work through the problem!! Great job!!

[@yoni4438]

楽しみにしています。ありがとう

[@Mirai1K]

be happy its an exhaust issue and not toyota charging you 23k to fix your blown engine on your 3 week old GR86 :)

[@imagineimagining912]

Warranty?

[@Mirai1K]

@@imagineimagining912 Toyota said I touched the oil cap when I didn’t so they are calling negligence to avoid giving me a new engine

ok good know because if i heard that i would freak out lol

I did trust me😅

[@Jus_jack]

What camera do you use?

[@BenLovrien]

A7C

[@Jus_jack]

@@BenLovrien sweet thanks man. Been trying to get an opinion on what camera to get. Trying to start a channel with my focus

[@BenLovrien]

You don’t need to go crazy with gear. Just get anything that’ll film 24-60fps if you’re just starting out. I don’t even need this camera for my channel but I film professionally so I use it for both.

[@jeffsx23]

Where you jack the car stresses me out
