Thank you for shedding light on something besides invidia and tomei. I have a 2020 WRX. I'm just trying to find a sound that like flexes cause it's a WRX of course but isn't obnoxious. A little tact and aggression. This muffler sounds amazing.
These are the axel backs I use and I LOVE THEM!! They were an easy install and look great! The inside turns black almost instantly so you have to keep them clean regularly.
George Rivera soap and water is great, I use an abrasive sponge, the one with the green abrasive side and the other side is yellow. No scratches, just makes them look good.
Can you guys post that Remark vs. FactionFab video that you talked about in the video? How similar do they actually sound? Contemplating between the two right now. This video was super helpful as there are tons of Remark axleback videos but very few FactionFab ones to compare the two.
Sounds great but it took 3 orders to get all my parts smh. I got the clamp i needed today and when i finally got to install the muffler delete the clamp broke. Had to go and get different clamps. Other then the poor customer service, the product is great. I love the sound, couldn't get the pops but my nephew had no problem with getting it to crackle. Thanks for the video guys im loving this exhaust.
Been debating on which axel back exhaust to get for my WRX and think I might do this one cause the burnt tips would look cool with the dark pearl blue color of my WRX.
Can you guys please make a update video on the Faction Fab F-Spec coilovers. I just bought them since your video made them seem like a good product and I’m doing a budget friendly build on 16’ WRX. I daily drive my car and drive 36 miles each way to work so I hope the hold up for a long time. Thanks
How do you get something like this installed with so many motor vehicle inspections requiring vehicles to have a functioning muffler? Love the sound and hoping to get it on my wrx
Most states a turbo is considered a “muffling device” per state law so you don’t need a muffler unless your county has decibel laws you should be fine never had a problem with my speed3
FF's tips look really nice; however, that gold will only be there for a week, then the soot will cover it up...unless you/he religiously cleans them. So, are adjustable tips the only advantage to the FF axle-back muffler delete, or is there something else? Question, $350 for an axle-back, or $1200 for AWE's catback Touring exhaust? Where is FF based out of; their website doesn't say and doesn't have an "about us" or "contact us" page?

@@xsmileyonex...I got all of that info, but where are FF based? AWE is out of PA. I went the AWE Touring cbe and am mostly satisfied. Tips don't stay clean, but not AWE's fault. In hindsight, axle backs are the easy way to better sound and are a lot easier to install. I need to pull my 4" tips and clean them (bad)...
If I'm buying just an axle back for my stock 2020 WRX, do I need to purchase any additional gaskets or spacers that will help prevent leaks, or am I all set?
@@WRXGarage Yeah I went single wall 4" Remark for ours. None of the burnt tip stuff. It just feels played out. Double walled end up black on inside very quick and end up looking like single walled tips so went with the thinner cleaner look.
With two day air shipping ordered on Friday I receive my package Wednesday morning it was missing all the hardware gaskets and 1 clamp called customer service they sent me all the hardware and gaskets no clamp have a third time for the third week it seems pretty sure 3 weeks receive the clamp started to install the exhaust the clamp broke do to rust maybe it was the old clamp I don't know other than having to wait so long for the parts I'm loving the exhaust sounds amazing I couldn't get the crackles and pops but my nephew drives pretty good he had no problem sound is amazing loving it
These cars tend to have pretty loud cold starts, regardless of what exhaust you have on the car.. but yes, it's a little loud. Definitely not obnoxious though.
I could not stand a muffler delete. If Factionfab made a 5 inch muffler similar to Nameless I would consider it. Also we need to get you a gimbal man. So much shaky cam!

Any specific way to clean them since they are blue/gold? Or, is simple soap & water cool?
Any kind of soft metal polish will be fine. Soap and water too ofc
George Rivera soap and water is great, I use an abrasive sponge, the one with the green abrasive side and the other side is yellow. No scratches, just makes them look good.
Thank you for the awesome review!!
The exhaust is amazing!!
Be STILL MY HEART!! I now know what i will purchase next!

Will likely be posting it this winter! Within a month.
What’s better FactoonFab or Remark Axleback? They sound similar. Maybe a slight tone
I ordered mine should arrive in 2days im excited asf. i wish they had some decals though would love one on my rear window
@factionfab 🙌

Also the clamps do not look the the ones in the video
Just picked my new mufflers out 😍 thanks for the review brotha
Love it. Just wish yiu showed the install like you usually do. Regardless great video bro. Sounds good
Only didn’t because it’s the same as the remark
Great content ,
This axle back vs R400 catback which one is better?
Great video! Just ordered these🙏. What up from MA
How do you like them?
Coming tuesday for me hope i like it
I bet your neighbors love you flying up and down the street like that
One dude came outside and said that sounds awesome.
@@WRXGarage lol
2:59 and 4:43
is this with muffler or muffler delete? debating on getting the remark with muffler haha. amazing video !
Been debating on which axel back exhaust to get for my WRX and think I might do this one cause the burnt tips would look cool with the dark pearl blue color of my WRX.
Yes you won’t regret it
Great review, just to clarify: do you need a tune with these?
Nope!
No cop no stop

👍 already have one filmed. Will be posting soon!

Reinstall your mufflers before inspection. It only takes like 20 minutes lol

FF is based in Utah! It's run by a couple guys who do all of the engineering and design in house. Awesome company.
Did you heat cycle the exhaust ?
Soo is that what I’m doing wrong to get it to pop, put it in second and rev??
It looks like the left one is a little low and the right one looks its touching the bumper?🤔 but i like the burnt tips🔥🔥
Yeah after more research his car has the wrong size rubber hanger on that side so we ordered the grimspeed ones to fix it
does it work on automatic
If I'm buying just an axle back for my stock 2020 WRX, do I need to purchase any additional gaskets or spacers that will help prevent leaks, or am I all set?
It's pretty commune for the axleback connection point to leak so I'd definitely suggest putting in new gaskets! Most kits will come with them.
What size gasket are those grimspeed gaskets?
Anyone know what midpipes goes with if you want to upgrade and get a midpipes with it
how would you compare this to the remark axleback?
For me they sound very very similar. If you want 4 inch tips go remark if you want Burnt tips go faction fab.
@@WRXGarage Yeah I went single wall 4" Remark for ours. None of the burnt tip stuff. It just feels played out. Double walled end up black on inside very quick and end up looking like single walled tips so went with the thinner cleaner look.
Did your car require a tune after adding the cat back system?
Nope! No tune required for a catback or axleback
@@WRXGarage I think I will order one for my Subie! Thanks for the info. Do you have an intake or other mods paired with exhaust or intake?
In this video, no not yet.
Just me or the left side hangs a little 🤔
Yeah after more research his car has the wrong size rubber hanger on that side so we ordered the grimspeed ones to fix it
@@WRXGarage do you have a link to the grimmapeed rubber hangers?

Might be dumb question but 15+ means it will fit a 2015 and every year over riggt?
For exhausts, yes 2015-2021 wrx are all the same!
sounds dope! how it take you to receive it in the mail?
3 days from rallysport I think he said. Very quick.
With two day air shipping ordered on Friday I receive my package Wednesday morning it was missing all the hardware gaskets and 1 clamp called customer service they sent me all the hardware and gaskets no clamp have a third time for the third week it seems pretty sure 3 weeks receive the clamp started to install the exhaust the clamp broke do to rust maybe it was the old clamp I don't know other than having to wait so long for the parts I'm loving the exhaust sounds amazing I couldn't get the crackles and pops but my nephew drives pretty good he had no problem sound is amazing loving it
do you think fractionfab is kinda loud then ets extreme or its same???
Pretty much all muffler delete axlebacks will sound similar, it all comes down to the quality of the material and how it looks
Great review! Does anyone know if this voids the warranty. I barely got my 2021 wrx but I want to get an exhaust
No, it shouldn't void your warranty! Catbacks and axlebacks don't effect any of the emissions systems or the tune.
@@WRXGarage thank you so much I appreciate your immediate response
How much does this exhaust cost?
Is it legal to use one if this in NJ? I'm a newbie with a 2021 WRX as my first car, and idk what I should do. Just don't want to get in trouble
You got a 2021 wrx as your first car? WTF lol
@@finley490 Yeah that's pretty crazy.
@@finley490 yea, I think I went crazy with it ...
How loud is it? Is it so loud that it will annoy neighbors? I drive early morning.
These cars tend to have pretty loud cold starts, regardless of what exhaust you have on the car.. but yes, it's a little loud. Definitely not obnoxious though.
@@WRXGarage little loud is fine. thx for reply.
does this still pass emissions? i’m looking to do this with my wrx but still wanna pass deq
Depends entirely on your state! We can't give advice about emissions for obvious reasons..
Do you need an access port to add the axle back?
Nope!
I ordered one 10 min ago
Do you have to get a tune if you do this ????
Nope! No tune needed for axlebacks
what else have you done to the engine? just wanna get them pops lol
Nothing! Completely stock
how would i know if i had a leak
You would hear a weird rattling or buzzing noise from your exhaust.
I could not stand a muffler delete. If Factionfab made a 5 inch muffler similar to Nameless I would consider it. Also we need to get you a gimbal man. So much shaky cam!
😂 that's cuz it was Kyle filming this one
Is that tuned for the pops or is that only from the exhaust?
Scott's car is still on the OEM tune!
WRXGarage Sick! I just ordered mine after watching your video and I can’t wait to hear the pops and deep exhaust note!
Bryce Moore I LOVE IT!! fell in love with the car all over again!!
Scott Krebs Awesome! How long did yours take to ship?
Bryce Moore had it in a week!! FactionFab is an awesome company!!!
Tune?
No tune required for axlebacks!
He ran a few stop signs lol
New exhaust problems hahah
Nameless sounds better.
Do you think this would wake my 4 year old on cold start from in the house? lol
Probably not haha
@@WRXGarage okay good lol i think this is what I'm gonna get! I just want something that doesn't drone like crazy and doesn't wake him lol
Does Scott have a insta, so I can follow his build?
He doesn’t but come spring more upgrades will be going on
the left side got leak
a little water is normal, gasket has to set by heat from engine
They won't look like that long. Even with cleaning. Looks Honda boi racer anyways.
