Profiling the MAPerformance Equal Length Header For Subaru BRZ Platforms

At MAPerformance, our main goal is to redefine what it means to be fast, and go fast, and overall have a car in your driveway that you're always itching to take out on the open road and push to its limit. If you have a Subaru BRZ at home that you've been wanting to increase some high-end torque on, we've been hard at work in our Wrightstown, Wisconsin-based lab, cooking up just the product for you. 

The result is one of the strongest equal length headers that we've ever created, designed specifically to combat the torque dip that seems to plague BRZ models of its generation. Come inside with us as we see what this header can do!

What Performance Benefits Do Equal Length Headers Provide For Cars? 

Equal length headers provide notable performance benefits by ensuring exhaust gasses travel an equal distance from each cylinder to the collector, resulting in smoother, more efficient flow. This design minimizes exhaust backpressure and enhances pulse scavenging, which boosts engine efficiency by drawing spent gasses out faster. 

The result? Improved horsepower and torque gains, especially at mid-to-high RPMs, delivering a noticeable punch in performance. For enthusiasts, equal length headers offer not only increased throttle response but also a balanced exhaust note, often reminiscent of track-ready cars. Whether you're chasing better lap times or daily drive excitement, they’re a proven upgrade to maximize power output.

Top Features Of Our In-House MAPerformance Equal Length Header 

Our in-house Equal Length Header is meticulously designed to enhance your driving experience by optimizing torque through pulse tuning at 4000 rpm. This precision-engineered exhaust manifold delivers smoother and more powerful acceleration, resulting in a dynamic transformation to your vehicle's performance. Utilizing advanced CFD technology and 3D metal printing, we underwent numerous revisions to create a header with 2" primaries that seamlessly fit under the OEM oil pan and over the OE skid plate. This attention to minimizing turbulence maximizes flow efficiency for peak performance.

A key feature of this header is the curved airfoil, which significantly reduces flow separation into the catalytic converter. This innovative design lowers back pressure and improves exhaust gas flow for optimized power output without the need for extra tuning. Crafted with a high-grade stainless steel cast collector and mandrel bent stainless runners, our header effortlessly integrates with the OEM overpipe flange for easy installation. Dyno tested and verified, it not only delivers substantial power gains but also produces an exhilarating exhaust note reminiscent of classic race cars, enhancing both throttle response and driving excitement.

What Car Makes and Models Does This Equal Length Header Fit? 

The cool thing about this header, and the BRZ by extension, is that it's applicable on a number of different car makes, models and platforms as well. Our equal length header is compatible for installation on the 2014-23 BRZ, obviously, but you can also fit it on the Toyota GR86 and Scion FR-S, both of which run on the same platform as the BRZ. 


This is a cool trick of the trade - most things that fit on one will most likely fit on the others as well, so in many cases you can get away with installing Scion and Toyota parts on your Subie. Just check first to confirm compatibility, otherwise you could end up running into some serious and costly repairs - legally we have to say that.
