Blake's Garage are you still autocrossing your RS? If so how do they mind how loud it Is? I just got an AWE track edition exhaust and I'm worried it may be to loud.
Good to see another RS video, missed your trip to WF Motorsports by a few days. Dropped by there Monday when they had a blue RS on the dyno, picked up some clips for the Subaru.
Was super careful, used Lucas penetrating oil and still had a nightmare of a time. Almost stripped one nut and the other backed off halfway before stripping out. I removed the whole stud to fix this. Two new nuts and a one stud from Ford parts was only $8 usd. Ty for the video and the tips I love the work! Much appreciated.
Ahhh I can't wait to get mine on! Have a 3" Custom Stainless Straight Pipe right now that I have to add a resonator to.... Then I WANT FLAMES!!! I see this car on the forum as well so it's nice to see the install videos.
Hey guys, wanted to say thanks for this clip - used it to guide me through a downpipe upgrade on the weekend. Bitch of a job but couldn’t have done it without your help. Cheers!
Where did you buy the downpipe? Been looking and every website I’ve found so far has bad reviews? Also new to the rs fam so tryna learn where I can get parts for them!
Hi mr, good job and compliments for your car. I have similar, but original exaust. You have much lag witout catalyst? Decat is recommended, or 200 cells is better?? Many thanks for your answer
Blake's Garage Ford like to pride themselves in having hot hatches that are also practical, so they like to save boot space.. even if that means saving 5 litres of space that no one is gonna miss.
DOES ANYONE CAN TELL ME WERE CAN I BUY OR FOUND ANY ACTIVE PERFORMANCE SHOP TO PURCHASE THAT SCORPION CATLESS DOWN PIPE FOR MY RS ; PLEASE I NEED 1NE THANKS !
Thanks for the video guys! I just did mine and this was the only reason it went so smooth. However I have one question. Where does the Downpipe brace that you loosen attach to? I didn’t see that, and I didn’t remove that.
Was thinking that also about a code.I would just go with a 250 cell metal race cat and you would be fine and still have the same performance and the cops or CARB off your back.
It does not. But it does have provisions to mount the factory heat blanket with the factory clips. Although it will partially cover up some of the vents
Blake's Garage Hm that's surprising to hear for this car. I know on all the STi's I've had it's a pretty commonplace first mod that really wakes the car up quite a bit. Maybe the stock downpipes on Subies are a lot more restrictive so there's more gains to be had with an aftermarket application. RS must have a more aggressive and optimized stock exhaust system with minimal room for gains?
When I did mine I used this video, it made my install much easier ! However I didn’t have a brace on my downpipe? Where was that located ? Was I missing a support ?
Andrejs Pileckis What exhaust do you have? Invidia N1? I'm sure with a straighter flowing exhaust it will shoot flames just as large. Also remember this was during the daytime and it was pretty bright in the shop.
yeah of course lol i wanna get a catless dp now tho but i think the reason i can shoot flames is cuz i have upgraded injectors and pump on a bit higher compression shortblock

i realize it is quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to stream new movies online?
"It only sees the track" 😜😂
lol this dude is gonna blow up on youtube he's too funny
Nice to see you here..

I like to use my harbor freight chingadera, but that works too.

came here to bitch about wanting more E30 vids
ended up watching/enjoying this vid
+Fwm Fwm Fwm Whoa haha you will see some soon!
Stop tempting me with these RS videos! I'm really loving the exhaust pops!
Hey guys, wanted to say thanks for this clip - used it to guide me through a downpipe upgrade on the weekend. Bitch of a job but couldn’t have done it without your help. Cheers!
They make it look so easy, but I'm sure it's not. I went through hell with my Speed6 and almost dont even want to mod the RS - but I have to.
Easy it ain't mate. The top bolts are bloody difficult to get at and to break in particular.
First I thought it sounded sort of like a Cummings when he was idling and reversing then when the revs started thought of a huracan lol
Cali WRX yeah, expecially with the turbo spool
Cummins* jesus.
from the video it sounds like a new wrx with those el headers
I am considering moving my battery to the trunk with a remote battery kit . Any thoughts on doing this ?
Where did you buy the downpipe? Been looking and every website I’ve found so far has bad reviews? Also new to the rs fam so tryna learn where I can get parts for them!
Did the rs require a tune to run the catless dp?
Hi mr, good job and compliments for your car. I have similar, but original exaust. You have much lag witout catalyst? Decat is recommended, or 200 cells is better?? Many thanks for your answer
Another great video guys. Keep it up. Sounds great and I love the rear diffuser. I got one on order too!
Did you have to re-tune the car for the catless downpipe?
where did he buy that rear diffuser
Zander13 Productions Velox Motorsports
+1 on the anti-sieze. So many idiots never bother and make life sooo hard down the track
Do you need to get the car retuned/reprogrammed immediately after installing a catless DP? I'm getting a DP installed Monday and was curious.
Rev yes
Anti seize turns to concrete when it gets that hot. Good job
You understand the car was designed in the UK, so the battery it isn't on the driver's side based on original design?
TheGeekGuy85 good call but still a crap design they should have put it in the back.
Agreed, was just offering an explanation.

@Blakesgarage, what is the brand and model of the flexhead long ratchet he uses to break the downpipe bolts loose?

Thanks for the video guys! I just did mine and this was the only reason it went so smooth. However I have one question. Where does the Downpipe brace that you loosen attach to? I didn’t see that, and I didn’t remove that.
Did you need a tune after you put the catless down pipe on?
Did You Guys Ever Got A Check Engine Light On ; Once You Install It ?
What hood is that. I’ve been looking at Anderson Composites hoods but I really like that one too.
After you take the catalyst off do you need to re flash the ecu to prevent any error code shows up?
Probably not because that is the pre-cat I believe.
Sounds nice. But how is the drone? To much for a daily driver?
What rear diffuser is that? Also what suspension set up?
manufacturers really make it a pain in the ass to work on cars now and days.
+JTEgaming yeah they make the packages pretty tight.
where did he get the white ford emblems
So stock exhaust with catless downpipe here in this video?
Coming from a person with a Focus ST, idk why they didn’t do this from under the car. Took me an hour from under the car and I didn’t even have a lift
what rear Diffuser is that??
I really want to do mine but this looks like an absolute pain in the arse to do !
Does anyone know what those speaker looking things right below the windshield are?
anyone got a link to that diffuser?
You can remove the airbox with the lid still attached just like the Focus ST.
How Long did You Need For change ?
Focus281ST you should be able to do it in a couple of hours. I would let those exhaust nuts soak over night though
Damn man Seems like every mod on this car is so shitty to do gotta take apart too much shit.
Front engined AWD cars are a mess to work on due to packaging constraints....
dont you need to put a mini cat inplace of the O2 sensor, surely the ECU will pick up and error now with the cat removed?
Was thinking that also about a code.I would just go with a 250 cell metal race cat and you would be fine and still have the same performance and the cops or CARB off your back.
What kind of power is this thing making, both crank and wheels ?
Anders Olsson last time it was on the dyno, it was around 350/410. Stock it did 282/330
Did you lower the subframe?
We did what we showed in the video
Where did you guys get the Carbon Fibre hood from? Any idea how much lighter its is compared to stock?
pr0jectSkyneT pretty sure it's Anderson composites.
thanks mate
pr0jectSkyneT correct, it is Anderson composites. It's around 10lbs lighter than stock
I'm guessing the lightweight batteries are from Lite Blox?
Do you need a tune when you change the down pipe ???
twoslow121 Yes
At this point was there any intake mods?
What made you choose Anderson over the Seibon hood?
jmoth79 the way the hood vents looked mostly.
Did the hood come with heat shielding or did you have to mock up your own?
It does not. But it does have provisions to mount the factory heat blanket with the factory clips. Although it will partially cover up some of the vents
What other mods is on the car?
heat wrapping it before would have been a good idea but it does sound nice tho
How much would a downpipe cost for a focus rs?
Where did you get the downpipe?
Very complex to do the downpipe. lol I thought I had a lot of stuff to rip out with my STI. Great vid!!
retune for the downpipe?
blake why are you not doing mods to your car, everything of late has been your buddies rs?
+mrccw1215 I do tons of videos on the BMW. You will see on Thursday's video New things are happening.
Has it been back on the dyno since the new downpipe? Feel any quicker now?
Eddcano09 no...downpipe doesn't really add any HP mostly just sound.
Blake's Garage wow figured it would be less restricted with the cat less downpipe thus making more power..
Blake's Garage Hm that's surprising to hear for this car. I know on all the STi's I've had it's a pretty commonplace first mod that really wakes the car up quite a bit. Maybe the stock downpipes on Subies are a lot more restrictive so there's more gains to be had with an aftermarket application. RS must have a more aggressive and optimized stock exhaust system with minimal room for gains?
Ive been away from the channel for awhile, do you still have the WRX?
snowfreak551 yes I do still have the WRX.
anyone have an ots cobb map for this downpipe?
Damn. Dudes a veteran
sweet combat action ribbon plate
Has no one done trbo sap or e85/race fuel I've heard ethanol isn't kind to this car?
ill Vizuals Brandon has done an E30 map and also ran it on race fuel at a trackday
Blake's Garage I've seen the race fuel video, but what power did it make on e30??
ill Vizuals similar numbers.
Damn, this car is nuts. Larger turbo and flex fuel sensor for E85 next?
Braillie B2015 was strong enough to power my ST3 if you guys end up wanting to replace that battery.
I might have missed a vid about the rear diffuser extension - was wondering where he picked that up from? - thanks guys!
Tyler Cookson Velox Motorsports rear diffuser. I got it on a pre sale but now they're in full production of the kit
Thank you good sir!
Get this car on the smokingTire already
Nice video. New subscriber to the channel and digging the content. Did you guys throw a code with the new DP and install a new tune?
Sean Dyer the car is already tuned. you will get a P0420 code that can be dealt with through the AP
I sure hope you used metal zip ties? Plastic will melt. I've experienced in in a ST. The RS makes more heat.
Does Brandon have a you tube channel himself for his RS videos? Great video thanks for the video
Alex Abundis he has a few videos of the car on his channel.
Slight revs sound like the Jetsons flying cars lol
Any CELS when installing this?
It’s tuned so no.
Love the turbo sound!!
When I did mine I used this video, it made my install much easier ! However I didn’t have a brace on my downpipe? Where was that located ? Was I missing a support ?
fiesta modified ?
What down pipe is this?
is that a c.a.r. i see on your license?
i love ford
"It's really long, pretty much a beast" said no Bro ever.
Tod Titus 😂
Why are you taking off everything from the top to do a DP? It's the same as an ST. Just unplug the 02 sensors from top and that's it,
Michael Harris nowhere near being the same as an st😂😂
I'd love to get my hands on one of these one day, but damn they don't look fun to work on!
AAA battery is a 96 cost 184.43
Ohhhh yeah those whistles 👌
this gets a lot of smiles per gallon
One mechanic and a non mechanic. Good mechanic.
Diggin the intro
Just realized how easy of a time I had while removing/re-installing the downpipe on my Subaru. Most new cars look like such a b***h to work on lol
Brandon sever I actually think this is easier than a Subaru. The Subaru heat shield is a PITA.
How do you get that turbo noise when you let go of acceleration
it seems like the RS has a million bolts on each part..lol😂
It does it’s such a pain to work on but I still love her😭
my WRX with catless up/downpipe spits bigger flames..
Anyway as always good install video!
Andrejs Pileckis What exhaust do you have? Invidia N1? I'm sure with a straighter flowing exhaust it will shoot flames just as large. Also remember this was during the daytime and it was pretty bright in the shop.
Blake's Garage my catted invidia downpipe and n1 catback lets me shoot flames as well
I'd better not tell what I have got installed lol, but yeah I got 63mm almost straight pipe after downpipe. Guess it has little better flow.
yeah of course lol i wanna get a catless dp now tho but i think the reason i can shoot flames is cuz i have upgraded injectors and pump on a bit higher compression shortblock
+Andrejs Pileckis that will help LOL
Whos the tuner
so how long will the engine last now I only got 5k miles out of my RS stock.
salut cet pièce compte combien
Sounds dope
good sound nice flame
sounds like a 2-stroke go-kart (Yamaha 100cc)
Are you a troll or just plain stupid, I can't tell.
"just use a chingadera" im dead lmao
Had to check comments to confirm lmao
FIRE!!!
Great video. Nicely explained.
Some advice, wear safety glasses. It blows my mind how many people go under a car with eyes exposed. Safety first!
"Off road ONLY"... sure!
Solid!
