Tomei for Toyota 86, Subaru BRZ & GR86

Tomei Powered Japan for the 86, BRZ & GR86 Platform

The 86/BRZ/GR86 chassis has its own dedicated Tomei Japan product family — three different titanium muffler sub-brands, two stainless manifolds, a titanium cat straight pipe, a joint pipe and chassis-specific oil pan baffle and bumper garnish — because the FA20 and FA24 boxer engines behave differently to anything else in the Tomei catalogue. Early FA20 cars are famous for a mid-range flat spot around 4,000 RPM that generic cat-backs don't solve. The EXPREME Ti TYPE-80 was engineered from the ground up to address it, and the 86/BRZ/GR86 range has since evolved across three titanium lines for the full ZN6, ZC6, ZN8 and ZD8 run.

EXPREME Ti TYPE-80 — The Original 86/BRZ Muffler

SKU 440021. The dedicated EXPREME Ti muffler for the ZN6 Toyota 86 and ZC6 Subaru BRZ, purpose-built around the FA20 boxer. 80mm full titanium piping, oversized silencer shell, clamp-band connections, the signature burnt-blue gradient finish. Designed with a specific sub-muffler layout to smooth the FA20 mid-range rather than sacrificing it like most generic cat-backs. The benchmark Tomei Japan product for ZN6/ZC6 owners who drive the car regularly — now refined through multiple generations specifically for the FA20 platform.

Ti RACING Titanium Muffler — 86, BRZ & GR86

SKU 441014. The race-spec titanium single-exit muffler for the 86/BRZ/GR86 family — and importantly, this is the single-type Ti RACING that cross-fits ZN6, ZC6, ZN8 and ZD8 chassis. Straighter pipe layout than the TYPE-80, maximum exhaust efficiency, more aggressive race-car tone. For track-focused or weekend-drive 86/BRZ/GR86 builds where flow and weight matter more than daily tone, and where the Ti RACING's straight-through character is preferred over the TYPE-80's mid-range-smoothing layout.

Ti SPORTS Titanium Muffler — 2022+ GR86 & BRZ

SKU 442004. The JASMA-certified street-friendly titanium muffler for the ZN8 GR86 and ZD8 BRZ (2022+). Optimised high-flow internal structure, balanced oval sub-muffler specific to the FA24 platform, refined tone for daily driving. The go-to Tomei Japan muffler for street-registered ZN8/ZD8 owners who want titanium weight savings and Tomei quality without the race-spec volume of the Ti RACING.

EXPREME Stainless Exhaust Manifolds — 86 & BRZ (ZN6/ZC6)

Two header options for the FA20 platform — Tomei Japan produces both layouts because they deliver different power and sound characteristics.

• EXPREME Manifold Equal-Length (SKU 412002) — smoother top-end delivery, higher-revving character, generally the choice for a Honda-style exhaust note.
• EXPREME Manifold Unequal-Length (SKU 412003) — the signature bassy boxer rumble that makes an 86/BRZ sound like a proper Subaru. UEL headers change the firing pulse character in a way equal-length headers don't.

Both are stainless construction, direct bolt-on replacements for the factory manifold. ZN6/ZC6 fitment.

EXPREME Ti Titanium Cat Straight Pipe & Joint Pipe

Complete the exhaust system from manifold-back with Tomei Japan's dedicated 86/BRZ/GR86 pipes.

• EXPREME Ti Titanium Cat Straight Pipe (SKU 431005) — full titanium straight-through decat replacement. Cross-fits ZN6, ZC6, ZN8 and ZD8. Race use only.
• EXPREME Joint Pipe (SKU 431104) — factory-style joint pipe replacement for ZN6/ZC6, street-legal alternative to the decat.

Supporting 86/BRZ/GR86 Products

• Oil Pan Baffle Plate (SKU 194017) — for ZN8 GR86 and ZD8 BRZ (2022+). Addresses oil starvation under sustained high-G cornering — a genuine concern on the FA24 when driven hard. Bolt-in baffle plate upgrade for track-day reliability.
• Bumper Garnish (SKU 449007) — for ZN8/ZD8 (2022+). Tomei Japan finishing piece that tidies up the rear bumper aesthetic when fitting an aftermarket exhaust.

Chassis Fitment

• Toyota 86 (ZN6) — 2012–2021 — FA20
• Subaru BRZ (ZC6) — 2012–2021 — FA20
• Toyota GR86 (ZN8) — 2022+ — FA24
• Subaru BRZ (ZD8) — 2022+ — FA24

Cross-fitment notes: the Ti RACING muffler (441014) and EXPREME Ti cat straight pipe (431005) cross-fit all four chassis. The TYPE-80 EXPREME Ti muffler (440021), both EXPREME stainless manifolds (412002/412003) and the Joint Pipe (431104) are ZN6/ZC6-specific. The Ti SPORTS muffler (442004), Oil Pan Baffle (194017) and Bumper Garnish (449007) are ZN8/ZD8-only. Confirm fitment before ordering.

The FA20 Mid-Range Flat Spot — And Why TYPE-80 Exists

The FA20 has a well-documented torque dip between roughly 3,500 and 4,500 RPM. Generic cat-back exhausts often make this worse by reducing back-pressure incorrectly through the affected RPM range. The TYPE-80's sub-muffler layout and pipe sizing were specifically developed to smooth power delivery across the mid-range rather than just adding volume at the top end. For a street-driven ZN6 or ZC6 this is the difference between an exhaust that sounds good and an exhaust that makes the car genuinely better to drive. The Ti RACING and Ti SPORTS mufflers are different philosophies — Ti RACING prioritises flow and race tone over mid-range smoothing; Ti SPORTS prioritises JASMA-spec street liveability.

Which Tomei Japan Setup Suits Your 86, BRZ or GR86

• ZN6 86 or ZC6 BRZ, street driven, want drivability: EXPREME Ti TYPE-80 (440021).
• ZN6 86 or ZC6 BRZ, track-focused: Ti RACING (441014).
• ZN8 GR86 or ZD8 BRZ, street driven: Ti SPORTS (442004).
• ZN8 GR86 or ZD8 BRZ, track-focused: Ti RACING (441014).
• Chasing the bassy boxer sound: Add the EXPREME Unequal-Length Manifold (412003) on ZN6/ZC6.
• Full Tomei Japan header-back ZN6/ZC6: Manifold + Joint Pipe (street) or Cat Straight Pipe (race) + TYPE-80 or Ti RACING muffler.
• ZN8/ZD8 track-day build: Ti RACING muffler + Oil Pan Baffle Plate (194017) for oil starvation protection.

Genuine Tomei Japan — Not Tomei USA

There are two companies selling exhausts under the "Tomei" name globally. Tomei Powered Inc. (Japan) is the original, founded in 1968 in Machida, Tokyo — they developed the EXPREME Ti TYPE-80, the Ti RACING, the Ti SPORTS and the matching manifolds and pipes, and they still build every genuine product. Tomei Powered USA was originally Tomei Japan's North American subsidiary, established in 2006, split off as a separate company in 2014, and fully independent since February 2019. Tomei Japan has publicly stated that Tomei USA products are not designed, supervised, tested, manufactured or quality-checked by them — Tomei USA part numbers typically start with "T". Every Tomei 86, BRZ and GR86 product at Chicane Australia is genuine Tomei Japan stock with numeric Machida-issued part numbers.

Road Legality & ADR Notes

Ti SPORTS mufflers are the JASMA-certified, street-friendly option and are generally the more liveable choice for road-registered ZN8/ZD8 builds. Ti RACING and TYPE-80 EXPREME Ti mufflers are race-derived and are not guaranteed to meet Australian noise regulations in every state. The EXPREME Ti Titanium Cat Straight Pipe (431005) is race use only. NSW, VIC, QLD and WA all have different dB limits and vehicle-age rules. If state noise-testing or ADR compliance is a priority for your 86, BRZ or GR86, get in touch before ordering and we'll recommend the right fit.
