Description
The HKS 2Stage Exhaust System is designed specifically for the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 (ZN8/ZN6), enhancing the performance and driving experience of these popular sports cars. This exhaust system delivers an aggressive yet refined sound profile while providing significant performance gains in terms of power, throttle response, and overall driving dynamics.
The 2Stage Exhaust System uses a unique design that allows the driver to choose between two different exhaust sound stages — a quieter mode for more subtle driving and a louder, more aggressive tone when full performance is desired.
Key Features
-
Dual-Stage Sound Control
- The 2Stage design allows drivers to switch between a quieter exhaust tone for everyday driving and a louder, more aggressive exhaust note for spirited driving or track days. This provides a customizable experience based on the driver’s preferences or the environment.
- The transition between the two sound levels is achieved through an innovative valve control system.
-
Enhanced Performance
- The system is designed to improve exhaust flow, reducing backpressure and increasing horsepower and torque throughout the engine’s powerband. This leads to enhanced throttle response and acceleration.
- The exhaust system utilizes high-quality materials and precision engineering to maintain a balance between performance and durability.
-
Aggressive Exhaust Note
- With its unique valve system, the exhaust produces a deep and aggressive tone when the driver selects the sportier mode. This provides a satisfying auditory experience that matches the sporty nature of the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86.
-
High-Quality Construction
- Made from SUS304 stainless steel, the exhaust system is durable, rust-resistant, and capable of withstanding the heat and pressure of high-performance driving.
- The system features mandrel-bent tubing to ensure smooth exhaust flow and improved efficiency.
-
Optimized for 2.0L FA20 Engine
- The HKS 2Stage Exhaust System is engineered to complement the 2.0L FA20 engine found in the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86, allowing for better exhaust flow, increased performance, and a more enjoyable driving experience.
-
Easy Installation
- The exhaust system is designed for direct bolt-on installation, making it an easy upgrade for enthusiasts looking to improve their vehicle’s performance without complex modifications or custom work.
