Tomei

Tomei is one of the better-known names in Japanese performance, with a catalog that goes far beyond exhaust systems.

They build everything from titanium exhausts and manifolds to turbo components, oiling upgrades, valvetrain parts, fuel-system components and differentials for platforms like the Skyline, S-Chassis, Z, WRX/STI, Evo, 86/BRZ, Supra and S2000.

Why We Like Tomei at 9AM

We like Tomei because they make parts for builds that are actually progressing beyond the basic bolt-on stage.

You can start with an exhaust or header, then stay within the same brand as the car moves into turbo, engine, fuel or differential work. That makes Tomei a good fit for Japanese performance builds where the goal is to keep developing the car over time.

Titanium Exhaust

Tomei is probably best known for lightweight titanium exhaust systems. The Expreme Ti Type-D for the 86 / FR-S / BRZ is a good example of that approach, using a full titanium construction for a much lighter exhaust setup.

Headers & Exhaust Manifolds

For naturally aspirated builds, the Tomei Expreme Exhaust Manifold for the 86 / FR-S / BRZ is available in both equal-length and unequal-length configurations, letting you choose between a more balanced layout or the traditional boxer sound.

Nissan Z Exhaust

Tomei also has strong support for the Z platform. The Expreme Ti Y-Pipe for the 350Z / 370Z gives VQ-powered cars a lightweight titanium mid-pipe option that can be paired with the rest of the exhaust system.

Subaru WRX / STI Exhaust

For EJ-powered Subarus, the Expreme Straight Down Pipe for WRX / STI is aimed at builds moving beyond a basic cat-back and into the turbo side of the exhaust system.

Differential & Drivetrain

Tomei also goes well beyond airflow and exhaust. Their drivetrain lineup includes parts like the Final Gear Kit for 350Z / G35 along with Technical Trax limited-slip differentials for several Japanese platforms.
