IPE Exhaust System Subaru BRZ ZD8 / Toyota GR86 ZN8 2021+

Twins share one IPE system here: the second-generation Subaru BRZ and the Toyota GR86, both with the 2.4L four-cylinder boxer. The system adds a Valvetronic muffler and a sharper note, and the same page covers both cars.

About IPE

IPE, short for Innotech Performance Exhaust, was founded in 1998 and builds exhausts for performance and supercar platforms. Its systems are handcrafted from T304 stainless steel and Grade 1 titanium and joined with TIG welding, which gives clean, strong welds on thin-wall tube. AutoTalent carries IPE exhausts for Volkswagen, Porsche, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and more.

Material and build

• T304 stainless steel, according to IPE.
• Valvetronic muffler with actuated valves for a quiet mode and a louder open mode.
• Chrome Silver tips are standard. Titanium Blue, Chrome Black and Carbon Fiber tips are upgrades.

How the Valvetronic muffler works

With the valves closed, exhaust gas takes a smaller path, which keeps the car quiet around town and on the highway. With the valves open, the gas has a freer route out, and the car gets louder with a more open tone. IPE's systems offer On, Off and Auto modes. In Off mode the valves open on their own at 4,000 RPM as a safeguard.

Remote control and the optional OBD remote

Every system with the remote option comes with IPE's Bluetooth remote control module. You pick the mode from the remote, and it needs IPE's accelerator signal line installed and set up for Auto mode.

The optional OBD remote adds IPE's OBDII hand gesture sensor. It connects through the car's OBDII port and talks to the car over CAN, so you switch modes with a hand gesture. It works only if the car supports CAN communication and has no other OBD devices in the port. It is an add-on to the remote, not a replacement for it.

Choose your options

• Exhaust Tip Finish: Chrome Silver is standard. Titanium Blue, Chrome Black and Carbon Fiber add to the price shown in the dropdown.

Good to know before you buy

• IPE's price list calls this a cat-back system, while IPE's product page describes a header-back layout. We list the exhaust as sold under the price-list part number. Confirm the scope with us before ordering.
• The same part number is used for the BRZ and the GR86.
• IPE gives a one-year limited warranty from the ship date. It does not cover wear items such as gaskets, springs and heat wrap, or damage from poor installation. Tips are decorative, so IPE does not accept appearance returns once they are installed.
• Do not wash the tips with strong acid or harsh solvents. Light discoloration after heavy heat cycles is normal.
• Fitment follows IPE's price-list application. Confirm your car's configuration before ordering.
