Invidia Front Pipe w/ High Flow EA300 CELL Cat – 2013-2017 Subaru BRZ / 2013-2016 Scion FR-S / 2017 Toyota 86

Front Pipe with High Flow EA300 Cell Cat for the 2013-2017 Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S

The Invidia Front Pipe with High Flow EA300 Cell Catalytic Converter for the 2013-2017 Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S replaces the factory front pipe and catalyst with a 60mm stainless unit and a 300-cell metallic catalyst. The factory BRZ and FR-S front pipe restricts exhaust flow between the header collector and the cat-back, the Invidia unit addresses both diameter and catalyst restriction in a single bolt-on replacement.

DETAILS

• Piping diameter: 60mm
• EA300 high-flow catalytic converter (300-cell)
• Material: polished 304 stainless steel
• Improves flow between header and cat-back
• Retains catalytic converter for emissions compliance
• Fitment: 2013-2017 Subaru BRZ / 2013-2016 Scion FR-S

The EA300 designation refers to the 300-cell metallic substrate catalyst, significantly less restrictive than the factory ceramic cat while maintaining full catalytic function. On the naturally aspirated FA20, improved exhaust flow at the front pipe translates to better breathing across the entire RPM range, with the most noticeable gains above 4,500 RPM where the FA20 makes its best power.

The front pipe is most effective when combined with the Invidia cat-back for the BRZ and FR-S, creating a consistent exhaust path from header flange to tailpipe. The polished 304 stainless construction resists corrosion and matches the visual quality of the rest of the Invidia system.

Why Choose Invidia

Invidia has been manufacturing performance exhaust systems in Japan since 1999, and in that time they have built a reputation that carries real weight in the tuning community. Every system is manufactured using SUS304 stainless steel and mandrel-bent tubing, which eliminates the flow restrictions and weak points that crush-bent alternatives introduce at every corner. Their in-house engineering team designs each application from scratch rather than adapting a generic template, which is why Invidia fitment is consistently tighter than the competition. The result is an exhaust that installs cleanly, seals correctly, and lasts. Invidia backs their products with a quality standard that is visible in the finish, the weld quality, and the hardware, details that reflect over two decades of refining the same core manufacturing process.

The RallySport Take

For naturally aspirated FA20 builds, we point customers toward the front pipe before the cat-back because the return on investment is higher. The restriction closest to the engine has the greatest impact on power delivery. This fits the 2013-2017 Subaru BRZ and 2013-2016 Scion FR-S with the FA20 naturally aspirated engine, not the 2022+ FA24 platform. If you are building the BRZ or FR-S for performance, this is where to start on exhaust.
