Your lil pep talk at the end is soo true..1 thing id add is always challenge urself to push things further, or youll become stagnant an stuck..awsome vid bro!
that last part my guy!! i also want to start a channel to show my passion on cars as well. keep showing us great contents it's really motivating me to do it 🔥
I mess with both tones. I love the tomei but if i had to be on a budget and get your current exhaust setup I definitely would. The pops and allat are so dope brodie lmaooo
A good middle ground exhaust wise is a dual invidia n1. I'm running a catless invidia j pipe to the dual n1 and its almost the perfect noise level. Not loud until you open it up and you get all the fun turbo whistle.
I’m jumping in a bit late but I just watched the video. In all honesty I would prefer the red wrx exhaust note. I’m sure the other exhaust has Benidorm of better flow, but when it came to sound…. Red hands down. Maybe he video changed the exact sound but I have a stock 2017 wrx and I would go the less expensive option. Stay safe and thanks for the video. Both cars look really nice. Our roads in Australia would ruin your body kits hahaha
I'm new to the Subi life and been going through all your video's lately. Clean builds man! and good camera work. I just put an axel back on mine too start and it sounds great for the money. I couldn't stand how quite it was before.
@@mikethomas9124 I got muffler delete axle backs. So it is a little loud on the cold start untill the rpms drop. Otherwise it's not that loud. If your worried about it being too loud get some with mufflers. They would help with droning too. Mine drones pretty bad around 2k rpms cruising, Otherwise it sounds good.
This Winter I am getting a 2022 Wrx, so this is helpful in what to look for. I like the fact that you can hear his turbo. Wow, I got to have that on mine.
I think they both sound good I had axel backs at first but I felt like it had too much drone so I went with a tomei..hopefully one day I can bag mine and put some nice wheels…maybe be one day I’ll see you out here in San Diego keep up the great content
Hey man. Thanks so much for the awesome video -- those are both beautiful cars. Your wrap-up was the most surprising part to me. I've recently advanced in my field and have felt pressure coupled with a pretty bad inferiority complex. I honestly needed to hear that. Thank you.
@@davo5400 touring. Can always get the track swap later if that’s the way I want to go. Just unboxed and the tips are so nice and with that extra blow pop in the box 😂
I have a 2017 wrx with the Tomei and a high flow catted downpipe from invidia and I don't regret the almost $2000 i spent cause the sound is mesmerizing and I constantly get compliments on the sound from other people as well.
The Tomei would probably sound almost exactly like the muffler deletes if he didnt have the downpipe. I have the FactionFab muffler deletes and a Grimmspeed DP and mine sounds exactly like his.
This is our experience as well. If both cars had an aftermarket j-pipe (or downpipe on an STI) the biggest difference between the Tomei and FactionFab would be a slightly more tinny titanium vs deeper stainless sound.
What do you have done under the hood vs your friend? It would be nice to see a full build comparison to get a better understanding of what else is contributing to the sound. I’ve got COBB Big SF intake, Boomba BPV, IAG AOS, AP, and the FF Axle back (on back order). Would like to see how close our builds are to get a better understanding of how mine will sound. Both cars sound amazing though. I would give the win to the Tomei if you have the funds. But FF does sound really nice for low budget.
Bro you are literally in my high school (Olympian high school) back road, I remember when I didn’t even have permit, my mom and I go do practice driving on that road! Hope to see you on the street bro, I drove a Corolla for now:( , but I’m saving money for my first fun car. Last but not least, I’m also a Subaru fan, one of My dream car is a exactly a Subaru STI. Nice video! I’m subscribed
I ran the remark muffler deletes on mine, then ran tomei, then ran tomei with grimmspeed jpipe and honestly over video you can't tell the difference. In person though, the tomei and jpipe have a way deeper sound and it pops much more.
Bro. This reminded me when I tried different exhausts on my car. Did an axle back on stock downpipe. Then switched it up to catback on stock downpipe. Then finally love the current setup perf. downpipe and muffler deleted catback. Almost close but subtle to your FRS, a lil deeper tone on idle
I have the same setup as your buddy's on my wrx but with a non-resonated Cobb Jpipe. I used to run muffler deletes until the upgrades. Can't go wrong with both setups tho 👍
i have a catted j pipe with muffler deletes. that shit is LOUD with a bit of rasp to it too, definitely want a tomei or anything tbh. i’m just too broke for a catback LOL
I had a nameless muffler delete and now a tomei. Tomei is hands down better. Not as raspy and has a deeper tone. Deletes are nice if you are on a budget but I got my tomei brand new for $900 which isn't bad.
Have you heard of blackhorse racing? They have a Dual exit quad titanium tip cat back exhaust at a decent price. It's compared to the invidia r400 regarding the sound and all the welds look professional. Anyways, just wondering for future reference. Nice little reference on the side of your hat btw 🙏🏻
i def would ditch the cobb resonated and j get a regular catted j pipe. have a grimmspeed one myself w a tomei. also they range in diff cel counts as HFCs go which greatly effect volume. cobb and gs are 300 cel and are gonna yield the quieter dB values. ETS and 1320 have 100 Cel and they basically make the cars sound catless
Dude I don’t think you need that 2k exhaust, your car sounds just as good man
Jeez the fact that you can hear the turbo is so nice and you definitely need that exhaust setup! 🔥
Sounds like a 🚁 at idle 😂

The cream subie can really use some smoke taillights, love the Red one even though they’re both Amazing and been built with love and care.
Agreed and some black wheels to accent smoked taillights, the door handles, hood and roof
I love how the 15 n up has a wider body my 13 looks puny side by side love them wheels
Been working my ass off for a year, about to buy a Veloster N; my first sports car. Thanks for all the advice and motivation!
Glad I can help bro! Best of luck on your purchase. 🙏🏻
Cream with white wheels, clears and black accents is the hardest color combo jesus christ
💯🔥
His WRX absolutely kills it! Huge fan of the color scheme! Them Taillights with that color and wheels...Fire!!!
Well put together 🔥

The j pipe makes the turbo whistle but a j pipe, accessport and tune alone is well over $1k alone 😀
A good middle ground exhaust wise is a dual invidia n1. I'm running a catless invidia j pipe to the dual n1 and its almost the perfect noise level. Not loud until you open it up and you get all the fun turbo whistle.
Couldn’t agree more! Exact setup i have on my wrx hatch and couldn’t be happier with how it sounds🔥
Both your rides are so beautiful 🥺

Yessir gonna sound soooo good!
“looks very similar but I think it’s more creamier”- Chris Borges 2021

The whistle 😍
Other then turbo noise it’s so similar, I’d save the money and just do the Cobb intake if turbo noise is what your after

How much louder is the axle back compared to stock. I want an axleback but I don't want to be too loud.

Hey Chris man love the vids just wanna ask what you do for a living man?
he does youtube and his merch. but he probably does more stuff besides that
I think he sells merch and does UA-cam maybe other stuff too
I think he used to deliver pizzas. Idk if he still does that tho
Mr. Miner is right haha. I used to. Now it’s youtube stuff and I work on ✈️

Nice! Looking to do a similar setup. Did you get an OTS tune or pro tune for your setup ?
I love these type of video keep these bangers coming 🐐
Right on 🤝
The Tomei would probably sound almost exactly like the muffler deletes if he didnt have the downpipe. I have the FactionFab muffler deletes and a Grimmspeed DP and mine sounds exactly like his.
I went from just Remark muffler deletes to a Tomei on a stock STI and the sound is similar but much deeper and a bit louder with more pops
Interesting 👀
This is our experience as well. If both cars had an aftermarket j-pipe (or downpipe on an STI) the biggest difference between the Tomei and FactionFab would be a slightly more tinny titanium vs deeper stainless sound.
Banger after banger. Love your content🔥

Heck yeah. Frs sounds similar to the WRX!
That cream color is so nice dam

loved the last part of the video Chris! I’ve been trying and toying with the idea of a UA-cam channel, but it’s so hard to be comfortable on camera!
you’ll get comfortable over time!
I ran the remark muffler deletes on mine, then ran tomei, then ran tomei with grimmspeed jpipe and honestly over video you can't tell the difference. In person though, the tomei and jpipe have a way deeper sound and it pops much more.
Finally have time to watch your vids. Holy fuck school sucks
Hang in there my guy. I know how it feels. Recently had to do some classes for my job. 😥
Love the videos man, the end got me feeling some type of way ❤️🔥
Means a lot man! I’m glad they can resonate with you. 🤝
The muffler delete actually sounds good👍 I have a muffler delete on my evo9 and sounds raw❤️
They both sound great to me
Your exhaust setup is not bad but a tomei would be nice for the turbo sound!!
Soon soon 👀
Love that picture at the end. Kinda boosted my morale lowkey 🙌🏽💯

Bro when I bought my tomei last summer, I had to wait till September. Tomei for the win
i really like his duckbill, not too big not too small 👌
True!
Wow the other subie was sick af! But I had to like the video cuz the ending! Mad love
Glad you enjoyed bro an I appreciate that big time!
I have the same setup as your buddy's on my wrx but with a non-resonated Cobb Jpipe. I used to run muffler deletes until the upgrades. Can't go wrong with both setups tho 👍
Nice!! I got a non resonated one coming in. Can’t wait!
Sheeeesh both are clean but i have to say i do prefer the 2018+ wrx bumper over the old ones
i have a catted j pipe with muffler deletes. that shit is LOUD with a bit of rasp to it too, definitely want a tomei or anything tbh. i’m just too broke for a catback LOL
i hear a resonated STI midpipe completes it
Your red car looks so much better. I hate ALL the mods on the white especially those tails.
Mine were too close to my bumper and I burned a bit lol

what taillights does the white subie have? Those are beautiful.
That talk at the end was needed 🤝

a catted j pipe and the muffler delete are PLENTY loud
All i can say is, very nice. I like it. Although i wont be doing that much to mine. Just the wheels atm but plan to sell to get an STI later on.

Bro where do you get the clear tail lights from? Looks mickey
clearedbynick on IG
You need some uel headers
Heard it’s bad for the stock turbos on this car :/
Ahh chris imma need to move to cali 😭 yall such a vibe down there 🔥 😎 watch when we both get our new brz/86
Yesssirrrr we gotta link asap!
love the sound of your car, pops are so nice👌 maybe a new bov instead of exhaust mods

thank you bro!
bro isn’t that the long side road next to olympian high school and east hills LMAO i just graduated from there and the area looked hella familiar
What part of Texas is Andre from? He have a UA-cam?
Bad ass.. Buttttt don't really personally dig the white /vinalla color
Nice video bro 🔥 what taillights are those white ones kinda want them for mine!🔥🔥
If u downshift from 3rd to 2nd around 2.5 -3 rpms and tap the gas a bit u can get a few pops as well
👀🔥
When it comes to exhausts, I would just buy used because it’s just metal piping lol
true 😂
Can’t wait for you to get that tomei
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Can’t wait for whats to come 😈
😋
The turbo noise is cool, Personally tomei is too loud in Cali plus the tone ain’t all that
Both exhaust setups are nice 🔥. But if you go the tomei route, would be dope if you go catless as well lol. Then you will be obnoxious 🔥
Sheeesshhh that’s gonna be loud 🔥
Both are 🔥🔥
💯💯💯
I love that you're just in the middle of the street haha
haha spot is super dead 😂
I need his tail lights.😍 never seen those before but I need them for sure
they clean forsure!!
The white car sounds better, but which is which. ?
I’m saving up for a borla to give my 2020 Rex for Christmas.
the red ones sicker 😮💨

Glad I bought my tomei last year for my Focus ST. Haha hate that all car parts are on back order or inflated in price...it sucks.
Honestly I love both of them. One is louder and other one isn’t. I feel you though car guys must have loud exhaust 🎺❤️
changes everything !
The white wrx have a Garrett turbo?
i def would ditch the cobb resonated and j get a regular catted j pipe. have a grimmspeed one myself w a tomei. also they range in diff cel counts as HFCs go which greatly effect volume. cobb and gs are 300 cel and are gonna yield the quieter dB values.

Both subies are sick love both exhaust notes also love the diffuser on the white wrx what brand is that diffuser from?
Ask @trill.wrx on instagram!
Another great video bro 🙌🏼 quick question how you make your car pop when shifting just with a muffler delete
Usually pops when you floor then just shift!
