I was planning to make a video on that but never got around to (still in the queue). As you noticed, there aren't many 2is specific boss kits but many other Toyota stuff will fit, like GT86 / BRZ, some Prius, bunch of JDM options like Crown, MarkX etc. I'm using Daikei Steel BOSS S-725 which I just slightly modified to fit a factory padle shifters. I guess any brand for GT86 / BRZ and cross compatible cars will work, depending what's easiest to score locally for you. Have in mind that you need 2 resistors to cancel airbag light, in case you only get 1 in the kit.

How do you mean?

Yeah, really like the intake growl on stock ISF-s! As soon as you touch the exhaust, it overpowers the intake and you kinda loose that...

This was just a custom axleback in this vid, from stock Y pipe to back (rear mufflers are basically empty so they amplify the sound). Stock mid pipe with 2nd cats, all stock. The mic is on the tips so it sounds louder than it was in the car. I've did couple of my own exhaust setups since and will hopefully make some video on that.

@@code111japan thank you! I want to order myself a new titanium exhaust system, but in Russia we have a problem with this. due to sanctions

@@MoreLone77 Depends what kind of sound you are looking for, but in my opinion most available exhausts for this car don't have the sound I want since they are all either xpipe or ypipe.

I most definitely had to, trust me lol. Unfortunately, the way my valves in exhaust were setup at the time, it would create very loud hissing noise at higher RPM, plus with mic being right at the tips, sound would simply blow up every time I punch it. Had no choice but to kill those parts of vid... Since the exhaust tips are fake and mufflers I had didn't sit perfectly, that would also hiss quite a bit as the exhaust gases hit the tips. Anyway, I don't have these issues anymore and since I've been making couple of my own exhaust setups in past few months, hopefully I will make some new vids. Now on the other hand, car is hella loud so will be challenging to record it in any RPM range lol.

They are getting hard to find but it greatly depends where you live...

@@code111japan I live up in Aomori-ken currently. I think I need to take a trip to Tokyo and look around a little bit.

@@misawajason Oh, if you're in Japan, there are still good deals to be found for a "steal" around here. I bought this one in Osaka. People run away from these cars due to high road tax but that's a small price to pay for this awesomeness of a car!

@@code111japan Yeah, the road tax issue makes sense. Just a small price to pay for the fun though. I'm still looking. Found two that I'm interested in. We'll see how it goes.

That's already some serious speed for these speed limits here :p

I feel you. I can't imagine it either back home in Europe. On the other hand, I think I would actually benefit from LHD in Japan as well since you generally do waaay less overtaking here on back roads (mostly forbidden everywhere). And on the other hand, in cities and such where there are 4 lanes or more, people just hog the right lane all the time with left lane being empty so I always end up leaning to passenger seat to see if it's good to go. When I was in the marked for F there was one LHD here but it was in Hokkaido which is far from Tokyo and kinda pricey. Either way, I sure hope you find one but I also hope not much more of these get exported from here since there is pretty much no cool cars left anymore in Japan :p. Everything is already exported and what's left is unobtainable. These are still a well kept secret.

Now sounds about 3x better :P (for my taste). Been experimenting with my own exhaust setups so hopefully will make some new vids. Not quiiiiiteee there yet but it's almost what I was looking for.

"Setup" is in the description but nothing too much really. These are quick cars from the factory!

@@code111japan Thanks ima look into it 💪🏾. Also I own a 2012 isf as well.

Honestly it depends where you are and how you use the car. It definitely wakes up the car. It makes perfect sense for Japan since traffic / roads are slower here and I personally almost always use "back roads". Might be tad too short if you're all the time using highways and are used to stock diff.

My "beef" with this camera is moslty hardware and construction related. After only few months of barely any use it just started throwing gimbal error and you can't start it. Paperweight. After playing with it for a bit I've found a way around it where I kinda press the gimbal mid moving and give some resistance on startup sequence but it's annoying because I can't get it right each time. Technically would need to replace whole gimbal unit, if it even exists separately. Camera was quite pricey when it got out and on top of that, no wifi or anything included, need to buy every little module separately. Screen is so tiny you have no idea what you are shooting... Often it ends up way out of focus and just keeps shooting that way and you have no way of knowing it. Battery also degraded fairly quickly and I'm generally "kind" on the batteries. Touch screen is 50% of time just completely unresponsive and so on. But I agree, image does have a interesting look and it's a great base footage. It does make driving look way slower and too smooth in my opinion though. Way more suited for walking and such.

You can check it on my insta @code111japan

You should definitely visit! And now is the perfect time with the yen being so weak etc, But as far as driving goes, no, it's not really, it's one of the worst places to drive lol (don't get fooled by a small loop around Shutoko in a very specific hour, these are not your usual roads and conditions). As for exhaust, setup I currently have (straight mid pipe) sounds even better and I am making my own true dual exhaust as we speak (got tired of trying to find someone to do it here). Will record both at one point, but I don't think any time soon. It's a hassle with cameras and mics and everythig haha.

@@code111japan Thank you for the reply! I love walking, exploring on foot and don't mind public transport so Japan is still high on the list!

@@cricket_v8 Honestly I still haven't got tired of walking (or biking) and exploring after 7 years here lol. You will enjoy it!

Best roads to drive on, at least in Osaka were A1. Guess Tokyo would be the same. Smooth as!!

In my driving scenarios there is really no difference. It's a gas hog either way lol. But if you do open roads and highways a lot then it would definitely be a bit too much. Roads in Japan are just extremely slow so I can get by with it lol. It certainly woket he car up altough for normal roads (so not Japan lol) I think 2.9 is very well suited for this car. I'm also on 18" s have in mind. Btw, which H&S do you have? No crossover or xpipe version? No 2nd cats?

@@code111japan from what I can see, it has a crossover back near the rear end, And I have secondary cats deleted

@@timbrown9731 Why I hate youtube.. Just spend like 10 min writting a reply and then it disappears lol. Anyway, if you're talking about that area where pipes touch, that's not a crossover but just a "reinforcement". If you don't have a X-Pipe then it has no crossover. Is it raspy and do you have any sound clips of it? Few days ago I did a similar setup. Been looking for someone to do it, got tired of it after half a year and just fabed it up on my own (Japan doesn't have exhaust shops). Full straight with no crossover from primary cats, onto 2 small resonators at the diff area (from Xforce Varex exhaust as I've used it as a base) and joining my existing straight through mufflers. From idle to 2000rpm it's loud but po*rn. Anything more and it rasps and claps horribly lol. So I've added H-Pipe in the area inspired by CCSR exhaust and straightened some of the bends to make it smoother. Rasp is completely gone up until around 5000rpm. Tone is still very muscly, particularly interesting around 2000-3000rpm area, but... It lost the true dual growl from idle to 2000rpm and above 5000 when it rasps it still RASPS . So now I'm thinking about either adding secondary cats and removing H-Pipe or adding 2 small resonators. I've watched every single H&S ISF video probably a million times by now but every car is different so if you have a sound clip and pic of the system, that would be great!

@@code111japan good question it’s the loudest system they have, my friend owned the car I just bought it about 4 months ago..

That's a pretty expensive but great sounding exhaust. I know a 2012 owner who has one. My 2013 is stock with an HPS intake and an aFe drop in filter. Original owner too.

Yes, it's 2.9. I think 3.7 is best suited for Japan.

デフは3.7

That's why I don't want to sell mine haha. Said I will have it for a year and probably sell it, and now 2 years in, not even thinking about selling it.

Right? This new graphics pack is insane! A bit of glitch around the speedo area but I'm sure they'll sort that out in the upcoming updates :p

These games have come a long way for sure :p

2 muhe jednim udarcem lol

How do you mean? As you can see, it has Japanese license plate on the left, german one is fake. Some people do it for the "cool" factor.

@@code111japan Oh yeah I see it now. There is the sticker on the front missing that we get when registering a car. I thought it was some some guy who imported his car to Japan. Too bad. It would have been really cool if you could do that.

I believe I mentioned it in the video but it was a long while since I've actually watched it 😅. Yes, you should and it'd tricky to know if you're in TDC without access to cams or removing cyl#1 spark plug. It's 50-50 chance if you are doing it while guessing.

Thanks, that's a nice jzx110

Contact 926Garage, they might be able to hook you up with something (mention my name).

@@code111japan thanks!

And it was only downhill from there. The whole "scene" got to like 30% of what it was. Not that nothing is happening, but nothing compared to before.

Haha nisam se mogo suzdržat. Yeah, I got pretty imune on all the stuff here long ago, as in, nothing can surprise me... But still, some very nice rides were there.

@@code111japan you know how it is at the old place, same shit as always, only the rare individuals with more money to burn doing something different, or even going racing, still, atleast we have a good selection of modified vag cars here, i guess something is better than nothing? My neighbor just got a rx8 tho? Of course with a blown engine lol

Yeah, it's a lot more work... One of the few reasons I don't like VQ, which is otherwise a great engine. I wish they at least kept access panels on all VQs.

Jeee mudrijaš. Pri jakuševcu, mam su svu hrđu sakrili.

I live in Japan now so haven't seen my TDS for over 4 years , but have a lot of stuff I haven't posted so keep an eye out!
