Product Description

The aFe 48-36005-1HC is a Twisted Steel long tube header built for the Toyota 86/FT86/GT86, Scion FR-S, and Subaru BRZ's 2.0L flat-four engine, replacing the restrictive factory exhaust manifold with mandrel-bent 1-5/8" 304 stainless steel tubing. The near-equal-length tube design and optimized collector reduce turbulence and exhaust gas dead space, translating to a measurable bump in horsepower and torque with minimal drone.

A high-flow catalytic converter is included in place of the factory unit, cutting back-pressure further while keeping the system emissions-compliant outside California. Heavy-duty, laser-cut mild steel flanges paired with 100% TIG-welded construction give the header a durable, leak-free seal designed to handle sustained heat cycling without warping.

This header suits 86/BRZ/FR-S owners looking for a genuine long-tube header upgrade rather than a simple header-back exhaust swap, using factory-style mounting for a no-cutting, no-modification installation that bolts up to the stock downstream exhaust system.
