Exploring Dual-Purpose Upgrades for the Subaru BRZ

If you have a Subaru BRZ, you already know this is a sleek and high-performance vehicle. You also may wish to make some upgrades that will serve a dual purpose in terms of handling and performance. If this is the case, consider a few options that may work for your needs.

Air Intake Upgrades

Your engine is one of the most important parts of your vehicle. The intake system is what brings air to your engine. If you get an air intake system upgrade, you can ensure that it gets more air, which in turn should mean that the fuel has more burning efficiency. That better efficiency should give your automobile more torque and power overall.

The Subaru BRZ has a stock intake system with a unique balance to optimize emissions, noise, and performance. Because of this fact, it doesn’t have the greater power that some drivers are looking for with their vehicles. It’s ideal to upgrade to a cold air BRZ intake that draws in cooler air. This air is denser, it has more oxygen, and in turn, the engine will have more efficient combustion.

Other benefits that go along with this include an increase in horsepower and better throttle response. Each intake system is a bit different, but you’re likely to see gains of at least 5 to 15 horsepower. The better throttle response means that your BRZ should be more agile since the engine reacts faster to what you’re telling it to do. You also may notice a more spirited engine sound.

Exhaust System Upgrades

Your 2022 Subaru BRZ exhaust system is crucial to moving reaction exhaust gases out of your vehicle, preventing them from harming you and your passengers. It’s important that you keep this in peak condition. If you want more than what is offered with the stock Subaru system, consider an upgrade.

You might opt for an axle back exhaust from Perrin. The 22-23 BRZ/ 22-23 GR86 single-side exit with Helmholtz Chamber axle back exhaust is ideal for many drivers. It features a frequency-reducing Helmholtz resonator that reduces low RPM droning and booming while it doesn’t restrict exhaust gas flow. In fact, it gives you a pleasant rumble at lower RPMs and then a more aggressive sound when you’re pushing your car a bit more.

Exhaust systems from Perrin are crafted out of 304 stainless steel which has better appearance and corrosion resistance. An additional benefit you’re likely to see is an increase in wheel horsepower and torque.

Engine Tuning Upgrades

Another great upgrade for the Subaru BRZ is engine tuning. If you get an ECU tune, it gives you better performance with optimization of the engine’s air-fuel ratio and ignition timing. You’ll also experience an increase in throttle response and power output. For an extra boost to the engine power, you can add on a supercharger or turbocharger kit. Just make sure you get regular maintenance of the engine and that you make supporting modifications to minimize the risk of engine damage.

Wheel and Tire Upgrades

When you upgrade your Subaru BRZ wheels and tires, this is a sure way to improve style and performance. You can go for lightweight wheels that will reduce unsprung weight in order to have better acceleration and handling. If you get performance tires, you’ll have improved grip and traction for quicker stops and turning corners.
