Finally someone who really drives this car
I know right!? Much rather see videos of people using the car in it's element than highway pulls.
Many people does, not all films it lol
Kenny Looi what
Bitch McTittys ikr
@@bukIau you really cant figure out what he is saying lmao??
perfect shifting and perfect driver. WRX all the time
After much debate, I finally just realized I want to go stage 2. Thank you.
This thing sounds so raw
Yeah! The turbo spool is nuts. Doesn't take much to get it to sound like this either, intake and an axleback and you'll hear those delicious boxer sounds
dude you are DRIVING that car, I love it. Just got my 2018 wrx a few weeks ago.
Beautiful rev matching and love to see that you don’t hesitate to use second gear.
Only gear for hairpins😂
@@dbmrobotic9321 facts... second gear is my favorite.
Sounds so good! I was also looking at your water bottle to see the g-force on those turns lol
I love that you made that little divot between the cup holders and shifter useful. I've struggled to figure out what the hell it's there for. Its presence alone is insulting.
Damnnnn that's one of the best fa20s I've heard shit sounds so sick
This video never gets old !
had it on replay
Whole time im screaming in my head, Paul's gettin it!
i saw that at 0:41 📸😂 on the real solid driving and a beautiful machine, take care and be safe out there dude! best wishes to you and your family!
I love the way you drive
I wish I could like this video more than once!
that water bottle has all my respect.
my phone falls on the floor when i do a little pull like yours did. i understand the struggle.
Hey Paul, could you do a walk around video of your car? I'd love to see that. Subbed btw.
Hey thanks! I've been meaning to but I keep getting new parts and putting it off until they're installed. I have a CF hood and lip going on in a few days, perhaps after that.
Awesome! I'll stay tuned! Looking forward to seeing your suspension components too
Sick driving dude! Love the car. I pick up my 2018 wrx next week. Can't wait!
Had a smile on the entire video. Awesome!
Bro you know how to drive , love your channel
I have the nearly the same set up as you I'm in the middle of putting it all on , just installed intake bpv and ebcs, still have tgv egr and j pipe to get on!
Heading towards Lake Berryessa... use to drive this mountain all the time!!
You are correct!
You live in the Napa Valley. I just picked up a 19 wrx... we should meet up some time I would love to see your car in person!
Love the way your car sounds
good job man! Really nice and smooth ride :) keep it that way :) like it!
Not a single dislike love it! Those downshifts =D =D =D
finally someone that can actually beat the shit out of the car on turns .. Good shit man I have catless j pipe with muffler deletes pretty fucken loud alothough im thinking of switching the catback to a non resonated invidia n1 signle exit or tomei
I love my rumble but this sounds amazing
TheKtmracer1234 still has a rumble it’s just not as bass full and deep
@@stephngibson5517 no it doesnt
@@whoischris28 You've never driven one. The rumble is always there, due to the nature of the boxer engine and firing order. It's just way more noticeable because the STI uses UEL headers. If you put the Tomei UEL headers on the FA20 Engine it sounds just like the STI, you lose the benefits of the twin scroll turbo though because UEL is inefficient.
@@ErectileSceptile trust me it doesnt, ive driven and been around plenty 15+ wrxs
@@whoischris28 Yes, yes it does. The rumble is because of the boxer engine, the engine is flat and the pistons go out sideways, this is what creates the unique sound. You can put UEL headers on a Honda it's not gonna have a rumble. But if you put UEL headers on a WRX it rumbles. It's not hard to comprehend man
Amigo muy buen video, sigue haciendo vídeos del wrx y
Saludos desde 🇨OLOMBIA 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
with all those mods is the car a good daily driver and is it pretty reliable still? i just paid off my 2018 and i daily drive every day. thanks for the great videos!
Man this thing sounds amazing!
Thisssss. You have all the parts I am slowly waiting to purchase. I love it!
I’ve been watching this everyday for weeks man I hope I get my 2016 this weekend!
Did you get it?
Sounds great! I wish I could shift that good!
Rev Match into 2nd is still hard for me lol. You make it look smooth.
Lol it’s hard for a lot of people, easily the hardest down shift for this car
that work truck with a rack on it was taking some lines tho 😂
That's hilarious, I've never noticed that before. 🤣
Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks dude!
Do you miss this car mate? Seems so raw, engaging and fun.
I’m so jealous. If I had another car for a daily I’d do this to mine
Man that quick steering racking making turning look so easy hah, nice driving!
nice sounds. good even downshifts.
looks fun to drive 👍🏻👍🏻
Sounds amazing
brap braaaap braaap braaap. sweet sound of glory.
I'm so jealous. I live in Illinois and all we have is straight bumpy roads and cornfields 🙄
Nice video Paul! Found you from Reddit :)
Cheers!
I approve this video.
I watch this often
You are an inspiration brotha!
So good! would love to see some pov + foot cam
Noise galore!! Sweet!!
Some Legit heel toe action, doing heel-toe on this car is so difficult for me.
Yeah I love my WRX to death but it's got a clunky clutch / transmission for sure. I also drive a miata and the difference is night and day, clutch + trans in the miata is fucking fantastic.
@@ErectileSceptile not just that but the placement of the paddle and leg space just doesn’t make it easy to do those heel toe action. I probably just need practice. This guy does it well tho
@@ProjectBenjamin same on the type r, the gas pedal is too low to heel toe, but acuity has something to lift it up. Check acuity they probably has something for the wrx
man you have convinced me. probably picking up a wrx tomorrow
A jacko I'm a Subaru salesman, if you live in NorCal ill sell you one ;)
Paul Brumm man I wish. I am in Utah and our local dealers are trash. probably going to eat tons on my trade in. sold my veloster rally for a dad car and can't take it. WRX should be enough room.
A jacko Oh yeah, back seats are big on these things.
Paul Brumm couldn't be worse then my veloster. plus torsion beam in the rear horid for back seat riders.
Going 80mph on that road is pretty impressive.
This is sick! Nice setup
Awesome video. Much love from Kenya. What's your setup and peak boost?
love the berryessa 500.
Haha yup you recognize it
Dude! This is Amazing
Badass driving. Brumm-Brumm! **motor rev sounds**
We have almost the same build except PLM headers. How did you mount that camera can you link me the mount
Looks like a great time! Nice Video. What kind of mic did you use to pick up the engine sound? I have a few videos of my custom Turbo 95' Legacy Outback you may like.
Tony Pifer Just a cheapy stereo mic taped to the license plate frame and piped right into the Gopro. sometimes I mic the turbo too when I want it to sound even crazier.
Wish I had mountains to climb in my area
great driving and great camera angle.
Hey man just wondering whats your camera setup, i use a go pro hero 5 but this audio is much more crisp
I used a small stero mic taped to my license plate frame and plugged into the gopro 🤙
@@tr4ck_day thanks alot man! Love your videos stay well
Love the video when daily driving curious what kind of MPG do you get with this setup?
I have basically the same setup without charge pipe and TMIC and i get about 20mpg average with city driving but i tend to be a little heavy footed lol
bro love this wrx man! have you considered an aftermarket header ?
oh wow this is 4 years old smh 😭
Nice footage. What external mic are you using and where did you place it outside the car. I would love to do this as well.
Just a cheapy stereo mic off of Amazon, I think it was 29$, taped to my license plate frame
You need a phone mount. 😃 What brand of mic ND model do you use to record your exhaust notes? Does it plug in directly to your GoPro? I enjoy your WRX videos.
Pitties, a WRX and More You noticed that eh? Haha. I use a small stereo mic that I bought off of Amazon and an adapter so that it plugs right into the Gopro. you need a different case for the camera too so that there's a hole for the mic cord. Cheers!
So what mic do you use and where do you mount the mic?? Sounds awesome. I’d love to capture that pure audio.
Its just a cheap little stereo mic off of Amazon and I tape it to my license plate frame. If you watch some of my other videos, sometimes I tape another one to my shock tower to get all the turbo noise too. make sure to buy a little wind sock or foam adapter to reduce wind noise though.
Thank you sir!
Nice man! How do you mount the camera
Cali WRX I have a lot of different in car positions but in this video it's mounted upside-down on the dome light of the car with one of go pro's little stick on mounting points. Cheers! I've seen your chanel before.
Ah nice, was thinking maybe it was the jaw clamp on headrest. Hit you with a sub
Cali WRX yes this is a great camera view. LOVE when i can see the shift knob
You should do a head cam view
Yeah I have the mount on my helmet but I've never actually used it. Maybe next track day I'll try it out.
Paul Brumm nah I like this view, you can actually see his driving and shifting
MikeM exactly. This view is perfect. Always great when you can see the shifting
Awesome video. Can't wait to have my 2018 pro tuned with similar mods. What type of oil do you run in yours?
Brooks Vaile Thank you for your feedback! I use Motul 8100 Xclean 5w30 only.
That is the oil I was leaning towards... seems to be the safest bet. Do you have a stock fuel pump? My local tuner is recommending I install a walbro 255 before the protune. I do not see many people doing that mod before they are tuned, so I'm kind of skeptical whether I will need it or not. It seems straightforward to install but I cannot say I would be excited to get into the fuel tank like that. Do you have any issues if you are running the stock pump. Thanks for any info.
Brooks Vaile I do have the stock pump. it was good for 317 whp in my car but we were pretty much at its limit at those numbers. It's a pretty easy mod, depending on how much power you're trying to make it couldn't hurt.
Paul Brumm Ok I think I'll stick with the stock pump for now. Have you had any issues with the Crawford AOS? I've been reading a lot about lines collapsing. I already have the the aos at my house but I'm yet to install it. Thanks again.
Brooks Vaile It's completely normal for some of the lines to get a negative vacuum pressure in them after you turn the car off, there's no reason to worry about that, while it's on and running all the lines will flow just like they should.
What's your exhaust setup ? Never heard an FA20 sound so good ....
Grimmspeed catless Jpipe and a non resonated Invidia N1 dual catback. Full list of mods in video info
TTime685 yeah man the only shit I hate about these 2015+ WRX is the equal length headers , I miss the rumble but at the same time these headers give out more power than unequal length , and yeah this WRX sounds tight!!!
TTime685 The mic is placed outside the car so this is exactly what it sounds like outside ;)
Paul Brumm Oh ok. Nice. Yea man looks like you found a sweet sounding setup ;)
you should do one with the mic inside
Fuck yeah.
I hear ya. j would never put a bigger front sway on a car with understeer. I will def be getting coilovers. I track my zo6 now, but that is going away, the wife wants me to get a four door. 🤔 lol but it will be a double duty car. mountains, occasionally tracked, and daily driven. Thank you for the info. what road are you driving in this video?
very nice sounding! I'm looking for a j pipe and hoping it sounds like this.
i wanna be able to put this much trust in my vehicle
Did you raise up your gas pedal, cuz its so hard for me to heel-toe on this car,. You did it so smoothly @1:55
I have the same problem I just made an pedal extension
nice videos, keep it up! what go pro do you use?
U MaD I think this was a hero 3+ but I have a couple Hero 4s too. I just grab whatever a charged when I'm ready haha
oh ok haha, and do you use any external mic, i really liked the sound
U MaD Yes I have a stereo mic on the rear bumper. Makes all the difference.
I need to follow through and do this to my 2015... I'm already at 100k miles though. Wondering how much longer I'll have before it won't be worth the money. :(
Drahkas dam that’s crazy. Mjne would be up there too I barely drive it as much anymore, nearly at 49k
are u running the stock calipers with upgrade rotors, stainless steel lines, pads and fluid? or are u running Brembo/Stop-tech/Ap racing calipers? i find that the stock brakes are pretty mushy mushy and heel toe is pretty much brake checking sometimes.
looopandlooop I'm using stock calipers, but I upgraded pads, rotors, lines, and fluid. I swapped out my gas pedal and it makes H&T easier. I have a Stoptech Trophy BBK kit with Pagid pads in the mail as we speak though so it's about to get even better
Paul Brumm no wonder ur H/T down so fast, the extra leverage by making the accelerator more level is significant in my opinion. also, did the tune get rid of the delayed throttle sensitivity? in stock config, when i did heel toe i have to push down harder on the accelerator sometimes to blip or else i dont get a blip or high enough rpm to match.
What tune or who did your tune? Thise nasty pops are fucking perfection. I'm picking up a 2017 wrx next week!
cool car bro subbed
Paul, awesome video! With these engine mods, how does it hold up for emissions testing?
When tuning, emissions monitors are usually set to always pass and codes for any removed emissions equipment are disabled, although COBB and others have been disabling these options in recent software releases due to EPA crackdowns (previously, it was allowed only for "off-road use, but no proof of off-road only use was required).
Wish I could drive mine like this, but that rev hang slows all my shifting so bad
I wish they would keep uel headers for the 2.0. I know it makes more power like this but it sounds like any other inline 4, I wish subaru would keep the 2.5 flat 4 with uel headers across the wrx line. Sounds good tho.
Idk I’ve never heard a fourbanger sound like this tbh. It’s still a flat 4
hey man I know you probably won't read this but i'd seriously suggest not using the harness unless it's properly setup with a roll cage (not just a harness bar or bolted to the rear seats). If you end up looking into it theres many cases of people becoming paraplegic or breaking both sides of the collar bone and so on, nice car though!
mat werry First of all thank you for the very good advice. I took a lot of time fitting my seat, making sure the harness holes were above my shoulders and that the angle of the harness won't put any downward pressure onto my shoulders in an accident. I set it up with wine country motor sports, the shop that is at Sonoma Raceway, and a local shop that specifically builds and maintains track cars. Both of them brought that up and both of them were satisfied with the results. cheers!
I'm looking to buy your exact car. either the 2018 with performance pack( I don't want a sun roof) or a 2017 if it's a better deal at the time. Wondering if any mod you did, helped reduce understeer a lot? I figured I would start with a rear sway bar and some negative camber.
shane mcnally Rear sway and end links is pretty much the biggest thing you can do to reduce it (don't get a front sway) without spending a lot more money. Good racing coilovers made a huge difference helping the car to rotate instead of understeer too, but that's quite a lot more money to spend.
I Just recently bought a 2017 WRX Premium 6MT and I'm a little nervous to mod it. If I did I was going to do an Intake, TGV Deletes, Cobb AP, a Grimmspeed EBCS, and a protune. I want this car to last me at least a few years with minimal to no engine issues, I'm just looking for reliability to be honest lol. My question for you is, how long have you had it modded, and how many miles do you have on your car? Has it been reliable for you or not? If you could let me know I'd really appreciate it, thank you!
Dylan McKinney I've had the car for a year now with 20k miles and many track days. The biggest piece of advice I can give you is to really make sure you get a good tune. Reliability is all in the tune. Go to a good, well-known shop and ask for a conservative tune and you should be fine. Use good gas and try your hardest not to make boost under 3k rpms in 5th and 6th and it should last and last.
oh, and stay the fuck away from E85.
Hey what exhaust do you recommend I have a 2015 wrx I'm looking for something with quad tips and will give me a nice deep tone I have a On my car check it out
Claud K It really depends on how loud you want to go. The Grimmspeed, Invidia Q300 and Cobb all come to mind. It all depends on how loud you want it to be.
Paul Brumm what do you personally think would be the loudest exhaust?
Claud K the loudest quad tip would just be a Nameless Performance muffler delete catback. Insanely loud
Do you have any drone problem going like 80 on the highway? I have a cat back with a small resonator and 4 inch mufffers and I want to get a catless downpipe, but I'm scared of the drone
I love the driving, but I think I'm the only one who would find all that noise fatiguing. But it was fun to watch
Fire 🔥🔥🔥
are you on a stock clutch? if so, how's it handling this power? trying to get a gauge if stock clutch can handle some stress.
Gancho Ivanov Yeah I'm on the stock clutch and it handles it great. However, I never launch my car so that's where you may run into trouble. I hardly drive the car on the street so it doesn't get stoplight to stoplight all that often and on the track you're as smooth with the drive train as possible so I may not be the best judge.
Oh that makes a lot of sense. I daily mine and i was curious as to how the clutch will handle power on the street. Either way, sweet build man, thumbs up!
I gave you the 500 THUMBS up😊. I know how much fun that can be.. I'm trying to save up right now to down one of these..you see that 1 single thumbs down..who ever that was is just jelous 😂. Love the vid thanks for sharing 👍
Damn nice driving
Do you heel toe and if so how do you do it because I find the pedals are too far apart
I've been doing heel and toe for most of my life so I find it fairly easy to adapt to most pedal boxes. That being said, I agree that the VA chassis is not the easiest to start out on. I only place the ball of my big toe on the brake pedal when braking and let the other 70-75% of my foot hang off to the side. It helps to bridge the gap on pedal boxes with a large gap and makes it easier to swivel my heal and keep consistent pressure on the brake.
Good Driver 😎
Anything special with your harness? I am at the point where I need more support during hard turns but I cant sacrifice any functionality of the back since my daughter rides back there with a car seat.
There's no way to install a harness without effecting the rear seating area. Just get a better seat, that's 90% of the support right there. The harness is mostly to hold you in place under massive braking loads.
Do you have egr deletes? What tune you running? Where'd you get tune at?
Landonian Odominous No egr deletes, if it's not on the parts list info the description I didn't have it. it was a custom stage 2+ tune done at Fine Line imports in Santa Rosa Ca.
Did you do all mods yourself?
Matthew Cropsey A lot, but not all of it. I try to do as much as I can but if it's out of my league I'll get help.
Nice
This is the FA20????
This FA sounds amazing.
