HS12SSTFPC
Overview:
The Invidia Front Down Pipe is a high-performance exhaust component designed specifically for the Scion FR-S (2013–2016), Toyota 86 (2017–2020), and Subaru BRZ (2013–2020). Engineered to replace the restrictive factory downpipe, this upgrade enhances exhaust flow and reduces backpressure, resulting in noticeable power gains and improved throttle response. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a reliable and effective way to boost their vehicle’s performance, the Invidia Front Down Pipe offers a straightforward bolt-on solution that complements other modifications or can be used as a standalone upgrade.
Featuring a high-flow catalytic converter, this downpipe balances performance improvements with emissions considerations, making it suitable for use outside of California and other CARB-regulated states. Whether paired with an Invidia exhaust system or the stock exhaust, it delivers a significant enhancement to the vehicle’s exhaust efficiency.
Key Features:
The Invidia Front Down Pipe incorporates advanced design elements and quality materials to maximize performance and durability. Key features include:
- 60mm diameter stainless steel piping for increased exhaust flow
- High-flow catalytic converter rated to reduce check engine light triggers
- One-piece construction with a large 4-inch stainless steel bellmouth for optimal gas evacuation
- Direct bolt-on fitment for easy installation without modifications
- Compatible with both stock and Invidia exhaust systems
- Precision-engineered to maintain proper fit and alignment
- Designed to enhance turbocharger efficiency and reduce turbo lag
- Durable stainless steel construction resists corrosion and heat damage
Construction & Design:
Crafted from premium stainless steel, the Invidia Front Down Pipe is built to withstand the high temperatures and pressures generated by turbocharged engines. The 60mm piping diameter is carefully selected to optimize exhaust gas flow without sacrificing low-end torque. The one-piece design eliminates the need for the stock catalytic converter, replacing it with a high-flow cat that maintains emissions compliance in most states. The large 4-inch bellmouth flange ensures smooth transition of exhaust gases, reducing turbulence and boosting overall efficiency. Every weld and joint is precision executed to ensure a perfect fit and long-lasting durability.
Performance & Sound
By reducing exhaust restriction, the Invidia Front Down Pipe allows the turbocharger to spool more quickly and efficiently, resulting in improved horsepower and torque throughout the powerband. Dyno testing has demonstrated measurable gains over the stock downpipe, making it a popular upgrade for drivers looking to extract more performance from their FR-S, 86, or BRZ. Additionally, the enhanced exhaust flow contributes to a more aggressive exhaust note, adding a sportier sound without excessive drone.
Installation & Fitment:
The Invidia Front Down Pipe is designed for a direct bolt-on installation with no cutting or welding required. It fits perfectly with the factory exhaust system as well as Invidia’s line of cat-back exhausts. Installation typically requires standard hand tools and can be completed in a few hours by a skilled enthusiast or professional mechanic. This downpipe is compatible with the following vehicles:
- Scion FR-S (2013–2016)
- Toyota 86 (2017–2020)
- Subaru BRZ (2013–2020)
