That was such a great video. Short, Concise and informative for anybody that is in the market for an exhaust, not just for Subi owners, but it's a nice plus that it is Subi that he is talking about. The new guy is doing great.
Love your channel, glad to see you representing our state. I've loved the WRX platform since the first one rolled out just a few short years ago (seems like yesterday anyway). They were a classic from the very beginning.
Hey guys thanks for the video, was very helpful. Was wondering if you could tell me what is the exhaust system on the yellow WRX at the 28 second mark in the video. I really like that sound!! Also, do you carry that particular system in your inventory on your site? Thanks again for the post and look forward to your response!
Great video, Wish we had one for the Subaru Hatchback style sti/ 2011-14 wrx since the Hatchback's exhaust is different than the sedan's. Looking to keep my neighbours happy when I brake out to work at 5am. Not sure if Cobb turbo back is a little quieter than the Invidia turbo back. Definately don't want any drone either lol.
This video it was very helpful👏🏻 but i have a question guys? I'm looking for the deep tone inside the car.. That's why i want.. I confuse which one is better tomei or r400? Please answerback thank you..
Tyler Eberhardt what did you go with? My 17 sti is a daily driver and I have 2 small boys. I want aggressive when I floor it but quiet no drone when I cruise highway and around town, also don't wake up the neighbors when I leave for work lol
holy fricken cow...you guys/gals make an awesome video (complete w/illustrations). I don't think I've seen anything on youtube this smooth and comprehensive. You guys/gals have made me believer. I'm curious, do I have to go with the Tomei pipe if I want a single tip? Are there other options like nameless or similar? Your thoughts on this? What about resonators on these systems? [thumbs up]...---p.s. love the yellow...
This is a great video i was looking for a new exhaust but i had no idea how or wich one to choose , will the engine light come up once you switch the exhaust?
You should have made some disclaimers such as the catback exhaust eliminates the catalytic converter, thus making it hard to pass inspections. Or am I understanding it wrong? does it start after the cat or before?
Any chance you have ever done a comparison of decibel levels of different exhausts? I would love a more aggressive tone without getting loud. Unfortunately the you tube audio really can't capture the tone and volume of the different exhausts...
New to the car community. Looking to add an after market exhaust. Are there any other tuning requirements when replacing the exhaust...or is it as easy as, bolt off, bolt on?
So with these engines, is back pressure a factor for low end torque, or not really? I.E. will I loose torque if I upgrade to a 4 inch straight pipe (as an extreme example)
If I wanted something with the explicit purpose of reducing turbo lag for the least $ (hopefully avoiding tune), what do I want? Would that be a J pipe?
Hi all, new WRX owner here. Have a 2019 WRX with the perfomance package. Looking for an axleback exhaust (want to stay within warranty because DIT) wondering which would give a deeper sound without being too loud. Thanks in advance!
Q: If one was to put a Cat-Back system on a brand new WRX, would they have to do anything else to the car or would everything work properly without modification or re-mapping?
Im looking at getting a catback exhaust off of subiespeed. Do i need to get a tune after doing so? My car is still under warranty and I don't want to mess anything up. Thank you
i have an 07 wrx sti hawkeye with equal length headers, im still new into car modding, and im looking to get some sound out of my subie, does changing to an axle require a tune?? sorry if this question is quite noob-ish. but youre help and advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
I got a 2018 Impreza hatchback and I need help I have no idea we’re to start when it comes to modifying. In your video you said the axel back is the cheapest and easiest approach to getting that rumble? If so what kind? How much & so forth? Thanks.
Shane Gerbitz Unequal length headers "UEL" is what gives the Subie Rumble... I have a 2007 Impreza N/A and all I did was to change the headers to achieve the "Rumble "... I have a video before and after if you wanna take a look at the difference....
How do people in California pass smog with a full stage 2? I really want to go stage 2 but not if I'm going to have a ton of headaches with smog. I want my car to produce a lil more power but not if I have to swap parts every time I have to smog. I just want my car to be the best that it can be while still being easy to live with everyday.
Hey Subispeed. Huge fan here, was wondering. I'm looking for the deepest sounding exhaust for my 2015 wrx. Am finding that a lot of aftermarket exhausts are a little raspy :/
Technically, it is J-pipe + intermediate + catback, but some companies sell the J-pipe as the J-portion and intermediate pipe as one piece. Take for example the Killer B piece in the link. So, just that and a cat-back would be a full turbo-back exhaust on a WRX. www.subispeed.com/2015-subaru-wrx/exhaust/downpipes/killer-b-motorsports-1-piece-j-intermediate-pipe-catted-or-uncatted-2015-wrx-mt-and-cvt#.WKRvw28rIkk
It is the Volk ZE40. 18x9.5 + 38 is the custom offset we have a ton of wheels made in as they are flush. :) Tires right now on that car are 266/35/18. Wheels -> www.subispeed.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=ze40 Video about fitment -> ua-cam.com/video/3udvmk3wQHw/v-deo.html
Because of the placement of the turbo, unequal length headers will not be possible on the WRX. You would have to mount the turbo elsewhere to get room to make the runners unequal. Don't think any manufacturers are up for that at this point.
Well if you go with a FMIC then you're going to reroute the turbo anyway right? If you do that maybe you would be able to also install unequal length headers???
simple question... I have a 2017 wrx with a 100k 5 year warranty will a catback void my warranty/ follow up if I don't do a tune will I still gain power (cvt transmission please don't judge Lol)
Your real answer is it depends on if Subaru can prove it was your modifications that caused the problem that you’re trying to get warranty coverage on. That’s the law. Since you have a extended warranty that presumably you paid extra for you should research this before doing any modifications.
+SubiSpeed, I've yet to have a real answer to this question. Can I put UEL headers on the FA20 DIT engine? I have a 2016 WRX and would really like to get the rumble back. I hear that if you put UEL headers on a twin scroll FA20 DIT engine, you'll loos some horsepower...but is that all that will happen or will you damage your engine? TY!
Most of the time, you will need a re-tune after changing the pipe coming off the turbo in order to meet emissions. It's also a good idea to do this anyways, as the stock tune is rather conservative and made for a wide fuel variance. Tuning it to fuel in your area will help you not only get better power, but fuel efficiency.
With the WRX and STI, you are fine to run an aftermarket cat-back without a tune. Once you go turbo-back, you'll need a tune. The extra flow of the J-pipe/downpipe can change a lot in the motor's performance.
So what you're saying is that if I just obtain + install an axle back just to make my exhaust a little more throaty and a little louder so I can actually hear it in the cabin, I would not need a tune right?
@@SubiSpeed I've got a 2015 forester xt with catless jpipe and mufflers delete. Will it produce rumbles if i change it to a Invidia q300 catback with my current catless j pipe?
I already have a car back on my 2015 wrx, I was wondering would I need a tune to run the subispeed intermediate pipe? And also would the subispeed intermediate pipe fit with the stock j pipe?
I am looking to get just a axle back ( nameless axle back ) will I need a tune for this/ will the acess port in the Cobb stage one power pack be able to give me this tune if I decide to buy one? Also what spoiler/ wing is on that wrx and can I get it from subispeed?
An axle back will not require a tune. The Stage 1 will tune for the intake and add extra power. An axle back really is only good for changing the exhaust sound. This is the wing on the WRX -> www.subispeed.com/varis-carbon-fiber-gt-wing-2015-wrx-2015-sti

Do you need a tune on a axle back
So turbo back exhaust gets you the most power gains?
michael scoulfeild Yes. But you will need a protune upon installation.
Awesome video. And thanks for the response. Will be ordering one next payday
kick ass video. I really want the subi quad unit.
Of the 3 options for Exhaust types, which ones void the warranty?

Why (other than a mustang owner LOL) dislike this video? They go in depth on key things.
Q: If one was to put a Cat-Back system on a brand new WRX, would they have to do anything else to the car or would everything work properly without modification or re-mapping?
Everything would work just fine without anything else.
I have a 2017 Subaru wrx MT if I matters. I am worried about the loss of back pressure of I install a axle back
No need to worry, an entire 3 inch turbo back is fine as well.

No
Hey Subispeed. Huge fan here, was wondering. I'm looking for the deepest sounding exhaust for my 2015 wrx. Am finding that a lot of aftermarket exhausts are a little raspy :/
Your best bet is to watch the videos online or go to meets and listen for yourself. We personally like our Subispeed Quad Tip Catback Exhaust.
So turboback system consists of: J Pipe + Intermediate Pipe + Catback Exhaust? or is just J pipe + Catback?
Technically, it is J-pipe + intermediate + catback, but some companies sell the J-pipe as the J-portion and intermediate pipe as one piece. Take for example the Killer B piece in the link. So, just that and a cat-back would be a full turbo-back exhaust on a WRX.

Ah perfect! This clears up some confusion, thanks!
I want a new exhaust on my Subie. Why is this so expensive though?
What is the wheel size and offset on the blue wrx in the video?
It is the Volk ZE40. 18x9.5 + 38 is the custom offset we have a ton of wheels made in as they are flush. :) Tires right now on that car are 266/35/18.

Video about fitment -> ua-cam.com/video/3udvmk3wQHw/v-deo.html
+SubiSpeed do you think that I would have rubbing issues with that wheel and tire size coupled with the h&r sport springs you sell?
As long as you stay with a 255/35/18 size tire, you will not have issues!
+SubiSpeed thanks, think I could squeeze a 265 in with a roll of the inner lip on thr fenders and quarter panels?
Is it worth replacing the equal length headers on the WRX with unequals?
Because of the placement of the turbo, unequal length headers will not be possible on the WRX. You would have to mount the turbo elsewhere to get room to make the runners unequal. Don't think any manufacturers are up for that at this point.
Well if you go with a FMIC then you're going to reroute the turbo anyway right? If you do that maybe you would be able to also install unequal length headers???
If I get a catback would I need a tune ? I seriously want to jump straight into mods but I have no clue where I would get a tune near me if I need one
A catback does not require a tune.
simple question... I have a 2017 wrx with a 100k 5 year warranty will a catback void my warranty/ follow up if I don't do a tune will I still gain power (cvt transmission please don't judge Lol)
Just disconnect the battery and you'll be fine
Charles Cab comedian
Just disconnect the battery and you'll be fine

+SubiSpeed, I've yet to have a real answer to this question. Can I put UEL headers on the FA20 DIT engine? I have a 2016 WRX and would really like to get the rumble back. I hear that if you put UEL headers on a twin scroll FA20 DIT engine, you'll loos some horsepower...but is that all that will happen or will you damage your engine? TY!
André Jeanpierre you can't put a UEL on the twin scroll.
And you can't change out the twin scroll to a single scroll I presume. I guess there's no way to get the rumble sound with the new engines. :(
André Jeanpierre would have to do a custom setup.
I'd be interested in talking with you more on how to accomplish such a custom setup (i.e. what's involved, what's needed, etc.).
If i want to install a cat back exhaust system , do i have to do a tune ? And so the turbo back ?
A catback does not require a tune. A turbo does require a tune.
SubiSpeed allright , thank you for the answer !
Does the axel back void your warranty?
No
The dealer said it would if you do any modifications to the car
@@allanabbott4734 they lied to you.
catted J-pipes DO NOT keep your car emissions compliant. Many aftermarket catted downpipes have failed emissions here in Colorado.
Most of the time, you will need a re-tune after changing the pipe coming off the turbo in order to meet emissions. It's also a good idea to do this anyways, as the stock tune is rather conservative and made for a wide fuel variance. Tuning it to fuel in your area will help you not only get better power, but fuel efficiency.
