I have the STI short shifter and have never had any trouble with slop for missing gears. Maybe I have an abnormal shifter, but it is perfect. Ride the left for 1st and 2nd, slides right in, center up and down for 3rd and 4th; far right slides into 5th and 6th perfectly. I was going to get the Perrin shift stop, but just don't need it.
Really well put together video. I appreciate the explanations and they way you sat down and looked at the camera. It was like we were hanging out in your garage talking about mods.
I’ve had a 2015 for about 2 years now. 68k miles on it. And I just, just found out about turning off hill assist. It’s been by far the most noticeable thing I’ve done for absolutely no money. The car no longer holds you making you apply more gas and burn the clutch more. It’s way smoother and feels more like a manual. Just a tip :)
Best mod by far is a universal Subaru flex fuel kit from eBay saving 200-250$ from buying same thing branded by Cobb and then getting a flex fuel tune by Bren or phatbotti. Hands down best money spent. And if you bundle the ap purchase with their e tune then you save 100-200$ on that as well. Just went e50 with universal flex kit and power gains are insane. 360/360.
I have a 2017 WRX same color and everything. I do like that front lip, i know the new model has a little bit lower clearance than the previous models but at least that lip protects the bottom of the front bumper if you were to accidentally bottom out a little bit
If you need an aftermarket shift gate because it's too sloppy, you should practice more. Mine is super sloppy (not a wrx, but old and bushings worn out) and I haven't had any problems since I got used to it.
BMWFilmz. That’s what I thought! I just got a 19 WRX and have no problem with the sloppy shifter. I don’t understand what everyone is complaining about. Maybe I will after a few thousand miles?
@@jimmytheshark86 I think they've fixed it in the 2019 model honestly, I have a 2019 wrx and i have little to know play in my shifter, maybe is also supported by the fact is that most of the wrx's are being optioned with the short throw now, haven't found a 19 without one.
@@AnthonyVisuals just bought mine 2 weeks ago and it doesn't have one. And I tried both. Tbh it's kind of a gimmick, both feel pretty close to the same. I might buy the Perrin short throw shifter adapter cause that is only 100ish instead of 400+ for the sti one. But I don't mind the stock shifter at all. Not quite as good as my Honda but still pretty decent.
devon kim I have the STI short throw because the dealership could only get me the color I wanted with the deal I wanted with the short throw and I honestly really really like it, not sure why a lot of people cry about it, let me know how you like the Perrin one, and if you’re in SoCal let me know if you’re going to any local meets so we can compare!
@@AnthonyVisuals unfortunately I live up in Michigan, but I'll try to remember to come back and reply once it arrives to let you know how it is. I've heard good things though.
Plan on getting my wrx in a few months but I've been watching and learning a lot on what mods to do . Love your explanations on what you did so far ( everything I plan to do also ) but can you do a more detailed info on the Cobb AP and how it relates to upgrading the exhaust , what stage 1&2 are and so on .
Be careful adjusting the 5th/6th shift stop. I adjusted it too much not realizing until I was driving it that I adjusted out 4th gear. Had no fourth gear until I reversed what I had done
I just got my 2019 wrx In that white I love it. I got the sti short throw shifter and dont notice a problem with the shit gates but I do want an exhaust, mudflaps and that lip is sick
What camera did you use and what editing film filter did you use for your aesthetic af photos starting around 5:00???? also just really great overall quality videos!
A pretty good list - personally I'd rather get a JDM grill before the front lip, but just my personal preference. Really makes the front look better. While there's no guarantees from Subaru, they have been known to partially or fully pay for engine warranty work even with a Cobb AP. The aggressiveness of the mods and map may certainly play into it.
JDM Grill is also an awesome first mod for sure! With the Cobb AP the bottom line is that there are no guarantees how it will play out if you do need warranty work, I have heard it go either way.
Great info, deciding on my next mod toy and WRX and Evo are the contenders left! lol Just a suggestion from a techie, grab a lavalier mic and your sound quality will be as professional/clean quality as the rest of the video.
I can totally understand that. In stock form the WRX shifter is pretty sloppy. The shifter stop and weighted shift knob definitely help but it is still not as good as the BRZ or STI. In my experience you do end up getting used to it tho.
Good to know, I'm strongly considering an STI as well. I wish they could just use the same gearbox because I do like the practicality, newer turbo and newer engine of the WRX.
What's better (including speed)? challenger rt or wrx sti? ik it's a weird question (muscle and jdm) but I'm currently in the process of getting my first car and my dad's letting me decide.
Hey Adam, I haven't seen the pink emblem that would work for the front and rear star emblems (you could always do a vinyl overlay). But I think you should be able to use the older trunk badges. Sorry I don't have more info.
Just got a '18 WRX in white. ordered STI Performance Exhaust, upgraded speakers, and short throw shifter. Thinking of doing some cosmetic stuff like de-chroming the badges and definitely tinting windows. Was thinking of doing some engine stuff even though it would void warranties.
An aftermarket intake can cause your WRX to run lean, which is one of the biggest ways to damage your boxer engine. Do NOT run an aftermarket intake without a custom tune. Better yet, ditch it and keep the stock box. You can put in a high flow panel filter but putting in a different intake can mess with your MAF sensor and air-fuel ratio in a bad way, where Subaru won't cover engine damage from it.
That is definitely a gray area with a lot of differing opinions. If you had a huge issue that cost $$$ there is some people who believe Subaru engineers can actually look in the ECU software data logs and check how many times it's been updated. I guess the real takeaway is that you can't be 100% certain that if something happens you will still be covered, no matter what you run a certain amount of risk and have to accept that.
You CAN change the AP to the stock settings, but there is apparently a way for Subaru to know if there's been a material change with the ECU. Bottom line is don't commit warranty fraud - be upfront. Subaru HAS been known to pay for engine warranty work even for an engine that had an Accessport - Subaru has to show the modification was the reason for the failure. It would likely be tough for them to say the Stage 1 off-the-shelf map was the cause of an engine failure. Now if you had bigger injectors, turbo, etc - then that's going to be nearly impossible to defend.
The lip should fit a 2018 but I am not 100% sure. There is an updated style for 2018 tho which is available on ebay from the same sellers as well that is a more aggressive look (I really like it)
I just test drove a wrx last weekend and the first thing i noticed was the shift from 1st to 2nd,..that shifter mod is warranty friendly? And where did you get it from?
It really depends on your dealer but it would be a huge stretch for a dealer to claim that the shifter stop did anything to negatively effect your car. It just controls the stroke of the shifter. Here is the link: subiebros.com/perrin-shifter-stop-2015-wrx/
Good video man I just got my 2017 WRX and I want to start adding mods I got a question what kind of exhaust do you recommend I don't want it to be loud but I want it to rumble. Any suggestions ?
Anthony it really depends if you think your going to ever add a J-Pipe. The J pipe has an extra resonator in it and literally makes your exhaust twice as loud if you remove it so. Do you think you will remove it?
I baught an 18 back in october i have an issue with it going into 3rd at high rpm was wondering if the shifter stop could be the issue or rev hang. But basically it doesnt go into gear until the rpms drop below 4500. It feels like its hitting a rubbery wall any iput on this would be great thatnk you
Love Subaru but with the newer models they're losing the aggressive look, 10-13 models are where the looks are at but I like the improvement of interior in the newer cars
at first i hated the new wrx look but it eventually grew on me. drove one and it was fun but the shifts didnt feel smooth at all. super clunky. perhaps i test drove a lemon. either way im getting one soon just looking for best bang for the buck mods. great video by the way
Thanks Dante! I would highly recommend the shifter stop, shifter bushing and eventually a stiffer transmission mount. It's a might and day difference in the feel. It's not perfect but a heck of a lot better.
Just got me a 17 wrx. I intend on having the same exact mods as yours. Is there a tutorial on the headlights you can direct me to. I am interested in HIDs and the C lights and painting the bezel. Thanks. I got a wrx as my DD/Snow
Awesome! There is a ton of good info on here: forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2620784 It's actually pretty simple (just intimidating at first).

Hi Don, I did a couple coats of plastidip on mine, if you do paint instead; scuff it first with fine sandpaper and use adhesion promoter to make sure you get a good bond. I liked the idea of being able to re-do the finish if need be in the future.
The short shifter just reduces the throws by 10% but does not effect the "slop" that is corrected by the shifter stop. So yes, the shifter stop would still improve it.
Thanks for all the support everyone! If you want to see a complete list of the mods I have check out my video here: ua-cam.com/video/fqEcka_20Fo/v-deo.html
Hi Saul, All of these mods EXCEPT the shifter Stop work with the STI. You can get basically the same improvement on the STI shifter by upgrading the two bushings which can be found here: subiebros.com/perrin-rear-shifter-bushing-2015-sti/ and subiebros.com/perrin-shifter-bushing-kit-2015-sti/ If you install both of those in your STI you will notice your shifting will be much more crisp and precise. I have used those bushings on a past car I had and it also made a huge difference. It's a great mod for the $$ for sure.
Question I have a 16' wrx with the q300 cat back exhaust an I'm looking to a j pipe next to install but I was wondering if the j pipe connects straight to the catback exhaust or will I need a mid pipe also?
Hi Michael, Nearly all J-Pipe Kits go up to the catback (just make sure you don't get one that is just the "J" part of the J pipe - Killer B is the only one I know of that comes that way). Technically your catback should have the mid-pipe with it.
If you bought your car used it's possible someone else installed it already. If you got it new the easiest way to feel the difference is go into 5th or 6th gear and push the shifter back and forth, then put it in 1st or 2nd and feel the difference.
Or, maybe you know how to drive. I have to just shake my head every time I see someone talking about how great this mod is. If you're complaining about shift gates on this car, you need to drive an automatic.
Carl Adrien Caasi I test drove both it feels a bit different and the stuff knob looks better. Installing a sts is a bit of work for these cars. I ended up getting my 17 wrx premium with it and I believe it was worth it. I ordered the Perrin shift stop and Perrin bushing. It should eliminate everything.
Awesome... Im planning to get an 18 wrx or wrx sti... though I am quite disappointed, from.recent news I heard 18s will just be a refresh/facelift. but depends on the official specs, but ill definitly do the sl and sts. prolly a sti performance catback too. wonder if aftermarket catback is warranty friendly.
Sometimes between facelifts we have seen some slight revisions to the powertrain as well so while it likely won't be anything ground breaking I bet we will see several new welcome additions to the car beyond just a facelift.
The STI has a different transmission but there are mods that make it more mechanical feeling as well, they are not the same part # tho. Other than the shifter mods it's the same for both cars.
Now we need you to do a "TOP 5 WAYS TO FIND MONEY FOR MODS" LOL
Haha! That's not a bad idea actually. I do have some "mod strategies" that I adopted for cheaper mods when I was especially when I was a teenager.
this channels going to blow up! well spoken and great quality.
+Premium Auto Styling Thanks so much for the support! You guys do amazing work, I really enjoy watching you on IG.
Really blew up! Editing and format is good, not too keen on the speaker though.........mod list is very questionable too
This car looks SO good in white...
Definitely agree, the front lip is critical. Matching the rear dark diffuser with a dark front lip looks great.
I have the STI short shifter and have never had any trouble with slop for missing gears. Maybe I have an abnormal shifter, but it is perfect. Ride the left for 1st and 2nd, slides right in, center up and down for 3rd and 4th; far right slides into 5th and 6th perfectly. I was going to get the Perrin shift stop, but just don't need it.

That is another great mod! (and not that expensive too)
You know when Cobb will support the 2020 wrx cause that’s what I got
They just released it this week for 6MT 2020 WRXs! You can read about it here: www.cobbtuning.com/2020-wrx-6mt-support-plus-accesstuner-updates/
Love our videos bro. I also On a 2016 Subaru wrx with just aem intake. Do you recommend me to get a ap for that?
Thanks Dustin! I would always recommend getting an AP and tune to be safe! Especially if you are going to do it eventually anyways.
An aftermarket intake can cause your WRX to run lean, which is one of the biggest ways to damage your boxer engine. Do NOT run an aftermarket intake without a custom tune. Better yet, ditch it and keep the stock box. You can put in a high flow panel filter but putting in a different intake can mess with your MAF sensor and air-fuel ratio in a bad way, where Subaru won't cover engine damage from it.
is the shifter stop and short throw shifter the same thing ? and if not could i install both ?
i heard you can change the cobb accesport back to factory settings if needed to brought in for warranty coverage on any issues
That is definitely a gray area with a lot of differing opinions. If you had a huge issue that cost $$$ there is some people who believe Subaru engineers can actually look in the ECU software data logs and check how many times it's been updated.

I just test drove a wrx last weekend and the first thing i noticed was the shift from 1st to 2nd,..that shifter mod is warranty friendly? And where did you get it from?
It really depends on your dealer but it would be a huge stretch for a dealer to claim that the shifter stop did anything to negatively effect your car. It just controls the stroke of the shifter.

Awesome! There is a ton of good info on here: forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2620784
It's actually pretty simple (just intimidating at first). The main tips I can offer are:
-Make sure to scuff the chrome that you are painting with either like a 400 grit sandpaper or some steel wool so the paint bonds well to it. Also make sure to wash with soap and wipe down with alcohol before painting.
-Make sure the parts you painted have adequate time to dry - you can get the inside of the lens messed up of the paint isn't dry when you put them back together.
-Be careful when re-sealing the lights and make sure you have a solid seal all the way around.
Thanks for the info. Great explanation and no BS :-)
Hi. Just received the front lip. Did you prep and paint it or install as is? Thanks
Hi Don, I did a couple coats of plastidip on mine, if you do paint instead; scuff it first with fine sandpaper and use adhesion promoter to make sure you get a good bond. I liked the idea of being able to re-do the finish if need be in the future.
thumbed up for the based model. :) I got a wr blue 2017 wrx base.
Do the Cobb OTS maps eliminate rev hang?
Looks great!
If you get the short shifter, do you still need to get the shift stopper?
The short shifter just reduces the throws by 10% but does not effect the "slop" that is corrected by the shifter stop. So yes, the shifter stop would still improve it.

SUBIE BROS okay thanks a lot! just wanted to make sure
Great video! I'm surprised you don't have have more subscribers.
Thanks Brad! I just started on YT so I suppose it's a slow process.
Which weighted shift knob is that?
i don't notice this "shift stop" stuff all the 15 wrx's talk about...i have a 17...maybe they've already fixed it themselves.
They all have it, even our '18 has it still but some people notice it more than others.
thanks for the quick response :) i am in canada and i have the limited model. i don't feel any wiggle or play in any gears, testing what you showed
you just broke my sub virginity
If you bought your car used it's possible someone else installed it already. If you got it new the easiest way to feel the difference is go into 5th or 6th gear and push the shifter back and forth, then put it in 1st or 2nd and feel the difference.
Or, maybe you know how to drive. I have to just shake my head every time I see someone talking about how great this mod is. If you're complaining about shift gates on this car, you need to drive an automatic.
I just got my wrx today ! This has helped
have you had any problems with engine after tune?
I have had zero problems with the car since I purchased it 14 months ago and 16k miles (14k of those miles were on a tune)
Can you pair the Perrin shifter stop with the shifter bushing?
Matthew Fronda yes
What the best performance chip for Subaru wrx
Access port from cobb
Cool and informative video, but that chair thing at the start grated me so bad.
link to buy ur shift knob

great list with reason. sub'd
so it's normal for 3rd and 4th to be crunchy ? thank god lol
Is the shifter stop available for 2019 wrx
Just got mine on Saturday spoke with subispeed reps and they said that most 18 parts work on 19. Same with Cobb accesport.
I re used my Perrin shift stop from my old 15 WRX and installed on my 19 WRX. Works great, also added the Perrin brass shifter bushing.
hoes the sti short throw shifter option from factory fix the stock wrx shifter problems?
It shortens the throws but honestly the feel is about the same, no difference in the side to side slop.
Carl Adrien Caasi I test drove both it feels a bit different and the stuff knob looks better. Installing a sts is a bit of work for these cars. I ended up getting my 17 wrx premium with it and I believe it was worth it. I ordered the Perrin shift stop and Perrin bushing. It should eliminate everything.
Awesome... Im planning to get an 18 wrx or wrx sti... though I am quite disappointed, from.recent news I heard 18s will just be a refresh/facelift. but depends on the official specs, but ill definitly do the sl and sts. prolly a sti performance catback too. wonder if aftermarket catback is warranty friendly.
Sometimes between facelifts we have seen some slight revisions to the powertrain as well so while it likely won't be anything ground breaking I bet we will see several new welcome additions to the car beyond just a facelift.
Is this all applicable to the STI?
The STI has a different transmission but there are mods that make it more mechanical feeling as well, they are not the same part # tho. Other than the shifter mods it's the same for both cars.
DJ Wolf Thank you! going to look into getting a weighted shifter first, the stock one feels like I'm shifting paper.
What area do you live in?
what license plate mount is that?
Perrin License Plate Relocation kit: subiebros.com/perrin-front-license-plate-relocate-kit/
What about coilovers?
Coils are also another awesome mod. Wheels/Suspension would have been next on my list but wanted to keep it to just 5 in this video.
What phone mount is that?!?!?!?!
It's a modified ProClip phone holder. I go over it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/fqEcka_20Fo/v-deo.html at 4 and a half minutes.
