i received feedback from 2 german companies who will develope exhaust systems for the GR86. But they are awaiting their development car as we do... So that will probably take until next year.
Bastuck and Remus are the companies. They have also parts for the GT86. I am still waiting for feedback from FOX and Supersprint!
Beeing german companies, these will go with the German TUV. Most strict shit on earth lol..

But for now and probably this year - no legal aftermarket exhausts (at least for Germany) specificly designed for the GR86.
All current aftermarket parts beein installed happily in the US are forbidden in the EU as far as i know (could be wrong). In germany you have no chance once the car is louder than listed on the papers.

No news received yet? I'm hoping when I go for an exhaust I won't hear as much of the unpleasant and worrying noises my car makes lol.
But so far only Milltek seems to have a EC exhaust. If it takes much longer for the others I might go for an EC Milltek with extra midpipe without resonator. Hope they don't see it at the inspection and if they do I'll just swap the midpipe every now and then.

I find the Milltek exhaust for the GR86 is quite disappointing on their published YT video.
Without the midpipe it might sound better. But if you plan on switching parts just for the inspection you might as well just buy an axle back which is cheaper and also easy to swap.

There's a Swedish guy on Facebook who purchased the resonated Milltek first but swapped to a non-resonated one. There's a video of both of them. The resonated one was not louder than stock.
Catback is not really an option, its horribly loud on cold starts...

Here's both videos (look for posts of Håkan Eriksson):

I know but the ECU is already cracked open and I'm planning on getting a 100 octane mapping with disabled cold start. It's unnecessary wear for the motor.

Totally agree but it voids the warranty so not an option... there's no way Toyota is going to warranty anything with a cracked ECU (which you can't hide).

That's also true but I'm not relying on their warranty at all. It begins with the oil the recommendation. If the engine blows and they find out that I'm using Motul 300V 5w30 and not their fuel economy oil the warranty is voided anyway.

Anything louder than stock is illegal in germany ....so no option. I am all in for the boxer rumble with catted UEL header tho. I dont need the car louder, i just want a sick as sound type and matt black quad exhaust on mine

 

[WpR]

I don't want it loud either, I like my neighbors but stock is really unacceptable, can't hear the engine at all. I don't think a nice rumble is even possible without making it louder.

Are they really measuring the decibels? Or is a EC exhaust per definition not louder than stock? In that case I don't think there's a solution for me except swap the exhaust before each inspection. I'm fishing for a magical solution but there might be none...

 

[Argo]

As far as I know you are not allowed to have a louder exhaust anymore. Manufacturers are trying different tones / frequencies so the human ear / brain thinks it is louder.

If I were you I’d find a less silenced axle back if there are any or the non resonated Milltek. If there is a problem at the inspection you can swap the Milltek resonator in just for the inspection.

That‘s the new magical solution I think.

I received a quote for 1689€ a couple of days ago for the Milltek non-resonated catback + midpipe + installation. A bit steep, see if I can get it down but I think that's going to be my pick in the end. I don't want to wait for Remus to get an EC approval (if they ever will).

 

[NfS_Underground]

I will also buy the milltek catback + non resonated midpipe if no other manufacturer brings an eu-approved system onto the market by spring

 

[dedsin34]

I have confirmation from Bastuck, that they will bring up some products. Last time I asked (spring/summer) they wrote they will start development when they have their car. By now, they should have it I hope.

Just received a quote from another reseller, 976,33€ for the SSXSB030 (resonated + stainless polished tips) + extra non-resonated midpipe (MSSUB166R) at 143€ (excluding installation though) - I think I made up my mind

For milltek GR86 exhausts, we got a lot of discounts from 10-20% here in germany. So I think many of you in Europe can get that too, with the right contacts

Got a 15% discount on the catback. I'll post a video when it's mounted
Is it advised to mount after the break-in period or doesn't matter at all?

Wouldn't think it matters

No difference, but maybe you want to drive faster with the miltek and rev higher

For those who want the Milltek resonated certificate as well: it's EU approval number E24*59R03/00/B*0148*00 (approved 24.10.2022)
Test was carried out by TUV in Dublin apparently.

When I look for the midpipe part number, I see 2 versions, what is this? Just a flexible part for easy installation I assume?
