I genuinely appreciate that even though your own exhaust system is in this video you don't try and make it out shine any of the other exhausts and give them all the same fair review and I respect that so much.
Something to note for ANYONE looking to add an exhaust to your STi: It may sound perfect for you as a catback system but as soon as you add an aftermarket downpipe, everything is instantly turned up significantly. Noise, Harshness, and Vibration all gets amplified. Your exhaust may not drone with the stock downpipe, but it might with an aftermarket one.
Totally agree, I had no resonator and muffler deletes and sounded amazing. Once I added the invidia downpipe it still sounded great but it was already screaming at 3k rpms and hard to tolerate on the highway. Beautiful turbo noise but shittttt.
Personally, I'd have to go with the single exit exhaust. It sounded the most fierce out of all of them. It's ridiculously light. And something about the single exit just reminds me of the old blob eye. But all sounded amazing.
I love this content! I wanted something incredibly quiet for my sti to hide 500+ hp so I went with HKS Super Turbo (quad tip). Pros- silky quiet (jasma), no drone because of the dual resonator setup, resonated tips proven to lower 2dB, awesome tone. Cons-highly expensive, barely louder than stock (exactly what I wanted), downpipe to midpipe flange tapered to stock size, and not the hugest gains.
Choosing tomei over anything is the right way to go… it’s unique of course but the most important statement is that it stays true to tradition with the single exit echoing the older WRX/STI’s
The best of these exhaust shown in my opinion is the Tomei because of the low cost, and titanium quality. Little too loud and I don’t care for single exit on STI. I just installed the COBB Titanium cat-back exhaust and it sounds amazing (really brings out that subi rumble) only 24 lbs i believe and the 4 tips are beautiful. I highly recommend this exhaust!
@@immiinent I didn't find out, I just went with a stainless steel pipe and it sounds fine, a little quiet but I think it'll sound nicer once I do a new downpipe. I went with the Invidia R400 in case you were curious
I went with a choice not listed. The remark stealth edition and I love it! Matte black to be a little different and great high rev sound while not being too loud on the low revs to upset the neighbor with a 7am cold start. Under $300 for the axel back and another $300 for the y pipe.
Tomei sounds the best hands down with the single exit it's a very straight exhaust and has a super smooth tone. Also the titanium gives the tone a more deep and echo like tone to the engine and sounds incredible if your considering it go for it!
I went with tomei for my 19 STI. A coworker has the invidia and you can barely hear it. The best part about the EJ is the sound and I made sure I could hear it. it's crazy light which is always a plus and I like that you can use the silencer to tone it down.
I've had a lot of success with a muffler shop built exhaust on my 93 FD3, 2013 FoST(side exit straight pipe), 2015 STI, 2001 Ej222 with stainless singleport header. All of my builds used Vibrant Ultra Quiet II 3" in and out. All of my exhausts were 400SS and I spent less than $900 for all of them combined.
I would like to say that I really like the sound of the MAP exhaust it’s crisp and not an aggressive D - bag exhaust. I like the tone because at the mid and top points that it gives it’s not to much so you can daily drive it I have a 2018 forester xt that I would love to get a MAP exhaust for also thanks for sharing a great video
Invidia R400 and MAP catted J-pipe is where it's at for me. With the stock J-pipe it still sounds great, but sounds hollow when revving out. With the aftermarket *catted* J-pipe it's so smooth and sounds amazing all through the rpm range. I mention catted because it's currently on the verge of too loud and without a cat it might be too loud for me. Especially those cold starts in the morning. Honestly, I almost went for the MAP Cat back, but I love the way the Invidia looks from behind with the logo/brace thing. I wish the video had an example of WRX and STi for each exhaust. I'm sure that might be a little hard to do, but the two cars are completely different animals with two completely different sounds. EL vs UEL headers makes a huge difference. Enjoyed the video regardless! Now I'm just waiting for a Top 5 Intakes vid to come out : ]
Black ceramic Grimmspeed down-pipe with ETS muffled exhaust. Subtle when idle, pops from time to time when down shifting, and gets a bit throaty when punching it. Perfect for me as my daily, and good enough for my wife, so it's a win win here. haha
I'm a bit disappointed that the title says WRX / STI however the two cars are extremely different and you featured four STIs and one WRX. Would have been nice to have been able to hear the WRX versions for all of the exhausts.
I'm running a Grimmspeed catted j-pipe which also replaces the intermediate pipe and a nameless axle back. If you want stupid loud, lots of pops and real highway drone this is the way to go...lol. I'll also throw in that my tuner was surprised my WRX made as much power on the dyno as it did.
You video came across my UA-cam feed. I have to say I can appreciate you reviews on all the exhausts including your companies. I’ll be going with the Nameless exhaust on my 2014 Wrx hatchback. You got a new subscriber keep up the great videos!
I have Nameless on my '11 hatch and fucking love it. Had SPT and Cobb before. And had HKS on my old 07. Nameless by far is my favorite. If I had a 15+, more than likely get Nameless again
These subarus are one of the few 4 bangers I actually like the sound of. I'm an incredibly biased big engine fan as far as sound goes (and usually performance).
Loking for exhaust right now. I want the Ark Grip but its very pricy. Out of the 5 you listed i think i still like the Maperformance the best although i would have liked to have heard the Cobb on the road and not just a dyno pull. Also i just want to say thatnive talked to your tech support, and even though i haven't bought anything from you yet they were very friendly and helpful. Keep it up.
The ETS sounds like my nameless muffler delete from cold start to pops. Not gonna lie the drone is super loud. I've been eyeing the MA Performance and the AWE catbacks personally
I wish you guys would have done an in cabin sound for every exhaust. I got the MAPerformance (and maperformance downpipe) and it is louder than the video made it seem. Kinda wish I had gone with the Invidia R400. I still appreciate the content.
The Tomei is attractive, but definitely needs to be quieter. I couldn't run at Lime Rock with it unless it's an unmuffled day. Extreme Turbo Systems was the ticket at just under the track limit. I have a tremendous amount of drone at 2700 RPM but I also don't have a resonator. Muffled is only just quiet enough for daily. Also of all the exhausts, it has the best turbo idle, which is important for the equal length header crowd.
R400 for sure!!! With resonator delete. Couldn’t stand the tone of the drone. Sounds like a stock like drone. Resonated delete definitely hear the turbo whistling on cold starts and accel. Can’t beat this one
GREAT VIDEO!!! I love MAPerformance as theyve taken care of me with my Subaru parts. Everything in this video is pretty accurate, the only thing is you can get the R400 exhaust for $850 shipped elsewhere which i wont put that shops name on blast. And wish you incorporated more FA20 wrx clips instead of STI clips, otherwise great video 👍
I know you guys said this was a wrx and sti clip but all of the sound clips were from a STI which as we all know still users the EJ platform and the newer wrx uses a VA platform. Biggest difference would be the EJ unequal length headers and the VA equal length headers. In my opinion they sound totally different. Don’t get me wrong this was a great video however, I think it would have been beneficial to have each exhaust on each platform and the sound clip for each.
My tuner shop design and make their own exhaust systems and engines. So I have a Lachute performance downpipe with catalyst and their cat back exhaust which gives it a nice refined sound with their ecutek stage 2 pro tune.
I'm running the ETS and although it is a little droney, I love it. It sounds really aggresive and I'm hoping once I change out my DP i could get rid of some of that drone.
I would definitely go with the COBB, I presently have the SS version installed on a 2019 STI but prior to that I use to have a invidia R400 quad exhaust . In my opinion it’s perfect for local commuting sounds really racy but on the free way at around 3500 rpm the drone is fcuk in hideous . But that is my opinion it all comes down to your personal preference
Vid quality was great but what we all need is one person to make the same clip in the same spot with the same equipment. Then give us timestamps so we can compare it to stock. No matter what, you won't hear in a vid what you hear in real life. People typically have stock to compare to & could judge the difference based off the comparison to stock.
you’re not gonna get a good exhaust for anything less than 900+ what do you expect? lol if you don’t want to pay for what you get, just delete the muffler or resonator...
Here I am doing none of the above, just took mine to one of our local exhaust shops and had a custom 2.5" mild steel axel back done for $400 (most of that cost was the staggered black chrome tips.) I will get the midpipe done shortly for around $180AUD.
Just purchased the MAPerformance J pipe, intake and access port through MAPerformance, looking to pair this up with the Ark DT-S exhaust, can't wait for spring!
MAP's tunes are solid if you choose to run them vs getting Pro tuned. I've run their Stage 1 91, Stage 2 91 and Stage 2 e30 (current) tunes. Each one having noticeable improvements over the last on the butt dyno (only dyno that matters to me) and drive-ability over stock. Since you have the MAP J-pipe and Intake I'd say at least try one before a pro tune to have something to compare against. P.S. The MAP intake is very whooshy and sometimes louder than the R400 in the cabin. It's absolutely amazing if you don't mind the extra noise.
@@tomhanrahan8115 thanks for the heads up, I may run the stage 2 in the meantime. I dont mind the intake noises as long as I dont get a drone. I have 93 octane by me so maybe a slight improvement. Also plan on running e-50 maybe by summer. That Ark exhaust is $2K though! So I'll take it easy on the mods for a few months lol.
After watching the video I was so set on the invidia r400 because I was looking for that rumble on my 2019 wrx premium. I should’ve dig deeper after this video before pulling the video that I need uelh to achieve that rumble on newer fa20 engines and just took this video solely into consideration. Maybe you should update video with different sound clips for it and explain a little better that to achieve the rumble you need new headers. Just a thought before misleading someone else like I was
ETS all the way, plus having all V-Band connections is a win in my book. Drone isn't bad but you can always add a Vibrant resonator down the road if that's your cup.of tea. Combined with the Cobb DP it sounds amazing!!
Which exhaust was your favorite or which one do you already have? Let us know 👇
What would be the deepest tone like a an american muscle like a viper???
R400 with maperformance Intake and j pipe. 2018 rex. 👌🏼
@@deej628 sounds very interesting you should put a video up with those specs...
I have the Cobb Titanium. And it sounds amazing. Check out my channel.
Dee J Wavy there’s plenty of vids up already with this combo. Check Ryan’s random ridez 👍🏼
I genuinely appreciate that even though your own exhaust system is in this video you don't try and make it out shine any of the other exhausts and give them all the same fair review and I respect that so much.
Agreed! I wanna buy from them just for that
Same
@@DeclanHiggins__ Maybe that was the strategy all along :O
What a peach
They did tho, their con was something that’s not really a con
After seeing the whole video, i feel exhausted
Oh my god be quiet lol
that wasn't punny

Such a Dad joke 😂😂😂
Something to note for ANYONE looking to add an exhaust to your STi:
It may sound perfect for you as a catback system but as soon as you add an aftermarket downpipe, everything is instantly turned up significantly. Noise, Harshness, and Vibration all gets amplified. Your exhaust may not drone with the stock downpipe, but it might with an aftermarket one.
Absolutely a great point! Thanks for sharing Diego 🤘
@@maperformance I was going to comment this and I think you should do another video like this, but with catless and catted downpipes/J-pipes.
100% agree. My catless downpipe with invidia R400 is not suitable for anything above 65mph or anything above 3700ish rpms
100% agreed Diego Tobar, 100%
Totally agree, I had no resonator and muffler deletes and sounded amazing. Once I added the invidia downpipe it still sounded great but it was already screaming at 3k rpms and hard to tolerate on the highway. Beautiful turbo noise but shittttt.

looks stupid as SHIT. why would anyone do that?
How was it???
Had the extreme on my STi, now have it on my evo. Can't go wrong with ETS. Quality is fantastic
It sounds dope!
I love this content!
I wanted something incredibly quiet for my sti to hide 500+ hp so I went with HKS Super Turbo (quad tip).

Awesome, thanks for watching!
To anyone watching this the the WRX is not going to sound the same as the STI. Which all but one are STI.
Yeah, they don't sound remotely the same with equal lengthheaders. Should have clips from both for each.
yeah noticed this as well, pretty dumb that they threw in a wrx for the ets exhuast
2015+ WRX
so none of these would sound good on wrx? not even the cobb exhaust?
@@mocrypto777 Not that it wouldn't sound good, but it's not gonna sound anything like the video. Completely different engine
R400 Turbo back on my 2017 WRX. sounds really good, love it
Doesn't say in this video but how are the gains vs the cobb? I'm leaning toward r400 because it sounds better imo
Gotta say your proprietary exhaust is the best in my opinion
Tomei UEL headers, MAPerformance DP, Remark Mid pipe (non resonated), Remark axleback muffler deletes. LOUD
Choosing tomei over anything is the right way to go… it’s unique of course but the most important statement is that it stays true to tradition with the single exit echoing the older WRX/STI’s
Im currently running the Borla Catback and IMO it sounds the best. No Drone, Deep rumble. Quiet when cruising but wakes up when you want it to.

Thanks for the mention and showing some of my videos 🤙 great vid!
Grimmspeed resonated catback here. Sounds deep, refined, and doesn’t BRAAAAAP like some of these, I hate that BRAAAAAP
First time ever watching your content but when I heard your MAP Cat back exhaust I was like “This is the one”
Thanks Jago! Let us know if we can help ya out with one.
I love my Cobb exhaust !! Was worth every penny the look the sound. 😃
kramer3112 thinking of the Cobb titanium.
Thank you for the comment just ordered the cobb catback for my 21 wrx
nameless performance turbo back with 4" mufflers and quad 4" tips
I have the 4” muffler axle back and love it! But I’m considering going cat back. How much louder or better sounding would it be?
I went with a choice not listed. The remark stealth edition and I love it! Matte black to be a little different and great high rev sound while not being too loud on the low revs to upset the neighbor with a 7am cold start. Under $300 for the axel back and another $300 for the y pipe.
ETS on my STi, it does drone but I love every bit of that exhaust!!
Not on my 18 wrx either
Tomei ftw >
I’m running the full map stage2 catted and it’s docile when at low rpms around at/under 2500 but once you get on it it really comes alive
Tomei is life
I prefer the Cobb set up. I’m about 3 weeks away from the arrival of my 2021 WRX STI in pearl white with the wing.
@Elias Sanchez Elias, the day is here, Father’s Day, and I get to pick up my STI, praise God.
The WRX is mostly a crap car altogether but IMO it has one of the best exhaust sounds outside of supercars, I just freaking love it.
That deep rumble is the sweet spot… Invidia for me 👌🏾
Had a Nameless on my '14 WRX, and now I have a Nameless on my '18 STi
Sabotage4321 I have full nameless and I am amazed it is not on this list lol
Surprised Remark didn’t make the list. I’m running the TurboXS catless j pipe, Remark non-res mid pipe and muffler delete. Music to the ears 👌🏾
YEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!
Muffler delete is for a broke boy... get a real catback
Eric 😅 that’s 7 months ago bro and I was straight piped. I have a front bumper exit now

MAP's tunes are solid if you choose to run them vs getting Pro tuned. I've run their Stage 1 91, Stage 2 91 and Stage 2 e30 (current) tunes. Each one having noticeable improvements over the last on the butt dyno (only dyno that matters to me) and drive-ability over stock. Since you have the MAP J-pipe and Intake I'd say at least try one before a pro tune to have something to compare against.
P.S. The MAP intake is very whooshy and sometimes louder than the R400 in the cabin. It's absolutely amazing if you don't mind the extra noise.
@@tomhanrahan8115 thanks for the heads up, I may run the stage 2 in the meantime. I dont mind the intake noises as long as I dont get a drone. I have 93 octane by me so maybe a slight improvement. Also plan on running e-50 maybe by summer. That Ark exhaust is $2K though! So I'll take it easy on the mods for a few months lol.
Its a close contest between MAP and COBB
All pf them seem great! Tough pick, but likely either Tomei as a raspy twin scroll, or COBB with burble
Wish someone out there would review the HKS Legamax for the 15-20 WRX
After watching the video I was so set on the invidia r400 because I was looking for that rumble on my 2019 wrx premium. I should’ve dig deeper after this video before pulling the video that I need uelh to achieve that rumble on newer fa20 engines and just took this video solely into consideration. Maybe you should update video with different sound clips for it and explain a little better that to achieve the rumble you need new headers. Just a thought before misleading someone else like I was
I got the Invidia r400 gemini titanium exhaust which has a different sound and half the weight
ETS all the way, plus having all V-Band connections is a win in my book. Drone isn't bad but you can always add a Vibrant resonator down the road if that's your cup.of tea. Combined with the Cobb DP it sounds amazing!!
