PB blaster for the win. Catless is definitely louder with my Greddy RS Race single exit. I wish I live near your house. Lol. I also have egr & tgv deletes but haven’t install them.

    Cobb catted/resonated j pipe with a borla S type cat back actually sounds dam good, 1-2000 rpms it has a UEL sound with a lot of turbo whistle like this video. Above 3 grand it looses some rumble but stays deep. I love it. Only complaint is for the price it should have solid flanges, you get a slip flange to mount to the mid pipe and band clamps for the 2 exhausts.

    This is almost exactly what I want to do to my 2020 WRX! Even stock, the induction noise is insane and one of my favorite things about the car. I agree with you about the trans though. Stock, the 1-2 shift is almost impossible to do without getting any lurch, but it's my first manual, so if you have any tips please let me know! What's your opinion on lapis blue vs world rally blue? My hot take is that lapis blue looks better and complements the car way better than WRB.

      I went from a 2008 wrx to a 2020 wrx as well and the difference with the 1 to 2 was a problem for me as well. What i found was the only way for it to really be smooth is to ride the clutch a bit. I think it might have to do with the rev hang issue with the stock tune on these cars as well. Youll get smoother with time though so best of luck!

    Hey Tanner, so I’ve got a question about an issue I just had driving home from work. Didn’t know how else to message you so here it goes.
    During my drive, which is only about 8.5 miles with some interstate, I had an instance where AFR pegged in the 11.something low. It was idling fine and drove just fine for most of the drive, but as I was going through town at 35-40 it started to sputter and couldn’t get any power out of it. DAM stayed at 1.0 and it didn’t trigger and CELs, but lasted maybe 2-3 miles before returning to 14.7ish while cruising.
    I’m not sure if weather could have played a factor. I’m in northern MI where we had a random snow fall and wet roads. My car is a 08 WRX with a Grimmspeed CAI and EBCS, Cobb catted downpipe and a protune from when I lived down in GA less than a year ago. I’ve also always ran Shell 93 in it.
    Maybe you’ve got an idea where to start, I’m not sure if it’s possible for the air filter to be clogged and cause that, but since it sits high the fender behind the liner and it’s still wet outside I haven’t taken the time to pull it out to look at it.
    Thanks for any help you’re able to provide.

    Might have to bring my 2019 WRX across the border for your expertise one of these days, i bought mine from a dealership that's not Subaru and I've been smelling a rotten egg smell, i notice it in 6th gear... I brought it up but they don't know why its producing that smell. I think maybe the cat is clogged? but also someone said it could be my turbo. The good news is i have warranty so I'm just trying to get everything worked out and operating the way it should before I no longer have warranty.
