    Removing the rumble from a Subaru is sacrilegious. But he did it for power, and I respect that.

    I will never understand why SoCal is the center of car culture.
    there's 23 states with no smog testing requirements whatsoever, and 3 more where it's only required for cars registered in major metropolitan areas and their surrounding counties. There are states where speed limits are more guidelines than actual rules, and there's one particularly big state where speed limits are so high that you can be doing 90 and not get stopped.
    So given that, why would car people willingly subject themselves to the bombed-out city streets and parking-lot freeways of Los Angeles, and the most oppressive set of automotive rules in America?

    • @SacredCowStockyards
      @SacredCowStockyards 8 років тому

      +Thomas Kong I seriously doubt that.
      California is the poorest state in the union, by a long mile. It's roughly comparable to the South in density of winding roads, and in terms of sheer population and urban development, you don't really get any less in Texas than you do in Cali.

    • @BurnDuration
      @BurnDuration 8 років тому +1

      Very valid points Aleksei. To add to this, fuel is cheaper in other states, plus 93 octane is available, no emissions tests, and compared to CA, living expenses are lower thus more funds to allocate to car parts.

      +Nik Brudar Sorry! Just ask TheSmokingTire... or half the people that traded their WRX's in. The FIST is that great of a car. Way... lighter, and definitely way more fun... STI is quicker and does have AWD but as far as a fun DD in the real world. The WRX nor the STI have anything on the FIST. The WRX is long in the tooth and about a decade behind in technology. Just wait til the RS version comes out.

    • @TheAngryHusky
      @TheAngryHusky 8 років тому

      +ridethepow No issues with reliability. Only thing I don't like about stage 2+ catless setup on the new FA20 is that under deceleration you get oil burn and a puff of black smoke out of the exhaust. It's really noticeable at stop lights. It's a known issue and has been beat to death in Nasioc. It is said to be caused by the oil scavenge system.

    Great video and spirited drive… but..
    I live in grass valley CA on the way to Tahoe area and have a 2020 STI and have had multiple other Subarus. The main thing unnoticed is him saying he went to Kirkwood and put CHAINS on his SUBARU STI. More or less posting this even though it’s years later so that the owner and anyone else that may own a Subaru or be new to the Subaru community realizes that the STI owners manual clearly states to not use chains on the symmetrical AWD. A bit surprised by that comment cuz he seems like he is fairly familiar with the platform but if you’re not familiar with different driving conditions then makes sense! Just be aware every DO NOT USE CHAINS ON YOUR SUBARU OR STI!

    Honestly, power can be made with unequal length headers. Personally, i wouldn't sacrifice the signature rumble for a few extra hp that your butt dyno cant feel unless i was in a competitive race where time & speed made the difference.
    The rumble is part of the charm that lures many to love subarus. Getting rid of it is like hearing Scarlett Johansson talk like Arnold Schwarzenegger....

    I have an 04 GT Legacy. Full catless exhaust, with front pipe off turbo. It has the EL instead of UEL. I prefer the EL header sound. Sounds more like an EVO.

    my '15 is 305whp/345wtq on 91 cobb stage 3 protuned w the stock header, wastegate, bov. How they should come stock. Only airflow improvements are a catted downpipe and CAI. The power is found by replacing the small fuel system...injectors + pump.

    Hey Matt, need some tips! A friend and me are visiting California for the first time this summer, what do we need to see/do from a car fan standpoint? We plan to do one week with a car and go everywhere in California, then one week in LA. We have a medium budget. Would love a track day experience, but we're not blowing it on Ferraris.. Ant tips would be awesome!

    I'm confused with that tq#. Stock turbo? .I have a built sti with a Dom3xtr and although I make 400whp...i make much less tq than him. I wonder what correction factor they were running? Even his hp# is high for 91oct

    • @MarksTournaments
      @MarksTournaments 8 років тому

      equal length headers he said It makes more torque

    • @aye-aye-roncoolatta3195
      @aye-aye-roncoolatta3195 7 років тому

      Yeah It just doesn't add up. A fully built STI on a Dom 2.5xtr barely makes that much torque. Unless it was REALLY cold when he got it tuned and has everything running at 99% duty, It's just impossible to get that kind of power out of the car.

    • @LittleNicky.
      @LittleNicky. 6 років тому +2

      Its because its the smaller factory turbo, it spools much lower in tge rpm range. Since tq is a function of hp and rpm, by lowering rpm you increase torque, hence why diesels make so much tq

      KoG GoK won't admit it because it's not true, bad tune causes boom. They can handle 600whp on stock internals. Maybe not as a daily driver for a long time, but it can be done. Build them and you won't have that problem

    • @WhiteGravey
      @WhiteGravey 7 років тому

      aSUBIEnamedSTELLA lol 600 on stock internals? link me to someone that has one running at 600 on a stock longblock. also what does a tune have to do with bearings and gaskets?

    • @skylergabriele6445
      @skylergabriele6445 7 років тому

      KoG GoK look it up moron. Stock blocks can take 600whp for a bit. A knock free tune with enough fueling shouldn't blow too easily.

      @alphatripduce 8 років тому

      +MrGovenator1 Acutualy the STI has a harsher ride for daily driving since its a out the box track package. the interior for the wrx is meant to be a more comfortable daily the sti has borderline race buckets in it. and the WRX makes more power at stage 2 currently
