🔥 FR-S / 86 / BRZ — Exhaust Design and Performance Refinement by Generation
The 86/BRZ/FR-S are divided into generations, each with distinct specifications
First Generation:
ZN6 (TOYOTA 86 / FR-S) / ZC6 (SUBARU BRZ)
New Generation:
ZN8 (TOYOTA GR86) / ZD8 (SUBARU BRZ)
Additionally, RSE/TOMEI USA has launched a variety of models
■Single Exit ■Dual Exit ■60mm & 80mm Pipe Configurations ■Ver.1 / Ver.2 / Ver.3 (Different Versions)
Altogether, there are 6 different variants, providing a vast range of options. This article will focus on the newly released Single Type-80 Ver.3, comparing it to previous models and explaining the reasons behind its development.
1. New Challenges: Generation-Specific Fitment and Latest Model Optimization
The Legend of TYPE-80 Ver.1
Launched for the first-generation ZN6/ZC6, TYPE-80 Ver.1 became a legendary model with over 10,000 units sold worldwide.
• Designed for Japanese Vehicle Inspection Regulations
• Wide Compatibility: From NA to Turbo Engines
• 80mm Pipe Diameter for Exceptional Exhaust Performance
• Straight Layout for Quick Response
• A popular model that continues to sell globally.
Challenges with GR86 / New BRZ (FA24)
While Ver.1 is compatible with GR86/ZD8, some issues arose
• The bumper clearance was not optimized.
• The protrusion length varied by vehicle.
• The silencer diameter risked interference with other parts.
Thus, it wasn’t a perfect fit.
Strong User Requests
• “We want Ver.1’s aggressive look perfectly replicated on the GR86.”
• “A model that fits the OEM bumper perfectly with zero interference.”
• “A TYPE-80 that delivers uncompromised performance and style.”
The Development of Ver.3
To address these requests, RSE designed the Ver.3, optimizing it specifically for the FA24 engine, ensuring perfect fitment and performance.
2. Development Philosophy: “The Art of Single”
RSE’s exhaust design philosophy is driven by a consistent goal: seeking the most rational solution based on the layout.
Within this philosophy, the single exhaust layout is a solution that embodies the following ideals:
- Maximized exhaust efficiency with the shortest, most direct, and lightest layout.
- Elimination of unnecessary bends, creating a racing-like flow.
- Lightness and responsiveness from using 1.0mm titanium.
- Simple yet striking aesthetics, focusing on minimalism.
- Achieving both performance and beauty through refined design.
This philosophy is encapsulated in the phrase:
“The Art of Single.”
However, this does not imply that single layouts are superior to dual exits. RSE designs both single and dual exhausts to best suit each vehicle’s characteristics, intended driving feel, and usage.
A single layout has its unique philosophy, while a dual system has its own optimal performance tuning. TYPE-80 series, in this case, represents a beautiful solution when pushing the limits of a single exhaust design.
Completely Redesigned Silencer
| Ver.1 | Ver.3 | |
|---|---|---|
| Silencer Diameter | Φ152.0mm | Φ135.0mm |
| Interference Risk | Possible | Zero Interference |
| Protrusion Length | Variable | Optimized for ZN8/ZD8 |
FA20 (86/FR-S/Old BRZ) also compatible with Ver.3.
Ver.3 features a 10–20mm increased protrusion.
The smaller silencer increases sound volume slightly.
(Note: Ver.1 is recommended for FA20 engines for the best fitment.)
80.5mm Large Diameter Pipe
- Suitable for tuned intakes,
- superchargers, and bolt-on turbo kits.
- It can handle future power upgrades with ease.
3. The Lightest Ever: Just 6.9kg
| Version | Weight |
|---|---|
| Ver.1 | 7.3kg / 16.1lbs |
| Ver.2 | 8.5kg / 18.8lbs |
| Ver.3 | 6.9kg / 15.2lbs |
Why is it so light?
•Use of 1.0mm thin titanium.
•Straight design with fewer welds.
•Smaller silencer design.
4. The Unique Titanium Sound: “Force of Titanium Note”
- The thin titanium creates a distinctive resonance and harmonic overtones.
- Quick response, delivering a dry and sharp racing sound.
- The 80.5mm diameter generates a powerful low-end rumble.
- The exhaust note sounds almost like a musical instrument, producing a unique, captivating tone.
