2018 WRX Invidia R400 exhaust adjustment
I did the same R400 but with a GS v2 j pipe. You can feel it in your chest off a cold start. Sounds good!
Yes! I hear so many cars, including Wrx's that sound terrible. I believe we have chosen one of the best setups possible. 👌
My great uncle is Lawrence Allen, who died in an avalanche in Taylor canyon. Thus naming the peak after him. Careful out there 😕
Bro edited out the part I was looking for THE WHOLE INSTALLMENT
I could have missed it in your video, but did you install 2 bushing on each side of the subframe? One on top and one on bottom? I heard you saying the Whiteline kit required the subframe to be removed. Only asking because there’s a separate kit for the front so I’m a little confused.
Yes sir. Bought the kartboy kit and it didn’t come with instructions. I did this upgrade on my 2007 Impreza but it’s a different chassis than my 2019 WRX. But thanks for the quick reply. How’s your car been running since?
That’s good to hear she running strong and I look forward to seeing more videos. I just purchased the delicious tuning flex fuel kit and stage 2+ tune and have high hopes for that flex fuel kit since Cobb appeared to never feel like releasing a new free speed flex fuel kit.
what issues did you had with both Cobb and IBR? I'm currently having issues with ethanol percentages, I'll be on pure pump gas (10% ethanol) and once in a while (while driving) the Ethanol final sky rockets up to 85 % and turn my CEL on (Cobb5 DTC) which btw im only tuned on E60 & 93 not full e85 but at the time I was running pump gas so.. doesn't make sense lol. This is a good idea tho, I already changed my ethanol sensor and the issue is still there. So I might end up doing this. Let me know what issues u were having previously please!
I noticed you did not grease the bushings. Did you ever run into squeaks?
No problems at all! It's been a while since I installed the bushings, and everything is great. Only thing new is a Grimmspeed (race) Pitch Stop. Also, my coilovers are toast. Will be installing Fortune Auto soon. I have all new suspension components ready to go in too.
@@epicpeaker3155 I'm thinking I'll be installing some RCE SS-1 coilovers here soon. I got the idea for the Pinch mount from smeedia's channel. I haven't put any effort yet toward it. Still researching. Also, you mentioned that shifting was horrible w/ the stock pinch mount. Could you explain what made it bad?
@bivensrk Nice! Coilovers rule on these cars. I have some Fortune Auto coilovers and a lot of new suspension stuff I need to install. I liked the Perrin PS mount. But I upgraded to the Grimmspeed "race" PS and love it even more now. I did a lot of other stuff besides the PS to make my shifting awesome. It also has a brass shift bushing, boomba shift plate, Raceseng knob, etc. Thank you for the comment.
@@epicpeaker3155 you’re very welcome! Also, what made shifting horrible with the stock pinch mount?
@bivensrk The Pitch Stop mount is the upper transmission mount. The stock PS has hardly no support (plastic with hollow thin bushings), so the whole transmission moves a lot. This does help to give take NVH from the driving experience. However, it results in a loose and sloppy feel when shifting gears. Aftermarket PS mounts have a metal (usually billet) frame and higher (75-90) durometer bushings. This makes shifts way faster, with a much better feel. Your shifts feel connected to the transmission instead of trying to shift through all the movement in the transmission. An aftermarket PS mount and the lower transmission mounts like Group N with the positive shift kit bushings are a huge upgrade in response and feel.
How is the nvh with these upgrades?
It's not bad. I put in a Grimmspeed "race version" Pitch Stop mount. I gave the Perrin one away. There is slightly more whine from the transmission, when decelerating in gear. I really like the sound. I wish it was just a little louder though. I might get a stiffer transmission mount than the Group N that I currently have installed. Will probably never go solid mount. Most people get it and end up taking it back out. Usually, the people who keep the solid mount are those with straight pipe exhaust and their car is already super loud.
This video helped a ton, I'm going to be able to mount my ebcs where I want now. Thank you
I've had no issues with the EBCS. It's been about 2 1/2 years since I did this. One thing to take into account is corrosion. When two different metals are in contact, corrosion can occur. It's time I inspected this setup. There will probably be a small bit of rust. Water can still get in that area from washing the car and bad weather. I may need to sand out some light surface rust and primer that area. I'll post back what I find.
I wish you kept in the clips of you taking the studs out. Besides that awesome video!
@@epicpeaker3155 Thanks for the tips! Did you rotate the tap 360 degrees? if so how with the blockage. If not how do you do that?
@ShakUltra I didn't have to drill out the turbo, because I was able to get the stud out intact. But it screwed up the threads inside really bad. The tap & die set is a full metric set from Harbor Freight and it's decent. So i tapped threw cutting new threads. But as I was spinning it (multiple rotations), it would get to a point where it was impossible to turn, even with assisted leverage (I used a pipe wrench on the tap ). Then I would have to keep backing it off and working it back in farther. I probably could have ran a drill through it, but the right bit for the tap is always a non standard size. Also I didn't want to risk breaking a drill bit in the turbo. It might be a good idea to get a second tap as a new one will be sharper and cut better.
Hey dude thanks a ton I just removed the oil pan that is below the turbo an was able to tap and die with no issues!!! Earlier this week I ordered the correct metric tap, one did come with my kit but I broke it accidentally. Size . M10x1.25 Just look for a kit with this that comes with the drill bit as well. Just a note for people in the future.
And now the top left on is broken off, sadness. Well tomorrow will be a long day
Dude how did you remove the stock coupler? Coz mine aint comimg out. Is it stuck??
Did u use the same seal rings and is there a gasget on the top side of the tgv flush side?
I used the same ones that were there. The service manual says to replace them. I didn't because mine looked new.
Nice video man. Do we need a donut gasket too?
Thanks. You'll need an adapter gasket, if you have a stock jpipe. I got the Grimmspeed one. If you have an aftermarket jpipe get a regular 3in Grimmspeed one. Even if Invidia has one for where the catback meets the jpipe, having the Grimmspeed one is way better. The Grimmspeed ones never wear out, but the Invidia ones do. I'm not sure but I think when I got the Cobb jpipe it came with the donut gasket. It doesn't fit very good though.
Are you still using PUP? Any knocking issues etc.? I've been using Subaru Synthetic but wanted to try something different for my next oil change.
It wasn't readily available from stores and the last PUP I got from Amazon was expired. The last few changes have been Valvoline Advanced full synthetic.
Don't you have a working bench. Why all the parts are on the floor
Love invidia a lot, but this exhaust was a bit too quiet for me 😅
That turbo blanket is not on the turbo. Lol
so my 2015 wrx has play on both sides of the front diff axle stub, is this normal????? i was going to pay a tech to replace the rubber seals cuz it was leaking, and he said he couldnt because he found some play in the bearings
Sorry, so many comments. Replacing a cv axel on a WRX should be pretty easy, because of the symmetrical AWD. Example (on a FWD car they are different sizes). The passenger side is way longer and hard to get to on a non Subaru car. It is still a pain in the ass to take off all the shit tho. But it's not hard mechanically. Subaru's seem easier to me. But I would get a wheel alignment after replacement.
Im going to try the diff upper torque bushings, diff brace with 75 durameter bushings, torque solutions trans brace with same bushings and currently have the N pitch mount. Car should be more responsive and fun but still driveable…i hope lol
They gonna look like shit better to get a cover
awesome vid. what would happen if you mixed the bushings up?.
Bro I have the Perrin charge pipe,Perrin intake,boomba BPV,Perrin Turbo Inlet and the Rev9 TMIC and sound like your car. Your WRX sound pretty nice.
Nice! TGV deletes and headers make it sound even better.
Doing mine tomorrow! I really needed this so thank you! Did you ever add the hardwire kit?
Good luck. I think it's easier than the video seems. Take your time and it'll be fun! I've been running mine over 2 years and had no problems at all. Make sure you get the old o-ring out in the video (the one I almost missed). Also Cobb isn't supporting tunes with the Flex Fuel kit anymore ☹️.
@@epicpeaker3155 Yeah I don't think I'm going to go Flex Fuel just yet. I'm OK with the pump, its the wiring I'm concernfroge about. I've just been worried about splicing it into the OEM wires. esp with all these people saying it melted the OEM wire I have a couple friends who have totaled their cars all because of bad wiring. So I'm installing the pump this weekend, and got the hardwire kit, I just haven't been able to find any good Videos or explanations of how to install them. Also my Pump doesn't appear to have come with new O-Rings so I'm assuming I just re use the originals.
@@epicpeaker3155 Awesome! yeah i just went with the 400 so i dont have to replace it later on. But this Harness is pissing me off lol
Did ur pump come with new o rings? Mine didn't have any in the box.
Did you use the stock exhaust hangers?
how is you car doing recently? still going strong?
Everything was going awesome until last weekend. Having an issue with the Cobb Flex Fuel system. Raw ethanol monitor went to zero and got a CEL for low voltage. Going to do some troubleshooting this weekend. Worst case scenario, a new kit from IBR is around $550.
@@epicpeaker3155 glad to hear everything is holding up well, for the most part. Is it your daily driver?
On my install the Perrin logo ended up on the bottom
Super stoked that I am getting mine installed next week however mine might sound different from yours since im all stock.
I'm stoked for you too. You will love it!
How did the mount hold up with high hp?
Holds up great! Still works like new.
Is that wood all you used to get under the car? Or is the car on an upward angle from the drive way as well?
This video was very helpful, I finished mine in a couple of hours. Unfortunately when I was torquing down the mount to the transmission as I was tightening the bolt suddenly became loose, I stripped it..so to anyone who's going to install this just be careful
Did you fix the threads on the bolts or just leave it? I always screw the nuts on, as far as I can by hand. Then use a torque wrench. I will admit my torque numbers are on the tight end of the spectrum.
@@epicpeaker3155 I just put some threadlocker and snugged it down as tight as I can without it stripping again, the passenger side bolts torqued down just fine though
2021 wrx (non sti completely stock).. super torn between q300 and r400, really just want to avoid drone on the highway/not to be obnoxiously loud but do want to liven up the car a little bit. Worried the q300 might be too quiet for the 1K price tag... any input would be great!
There's a lot of good catbacks out there. My R400 still looks new. Sound and noise level is subjective to each person. My car now has intake, non resonated J-pipe, headers, and full tgv deletes. It is NOT too loud for me (even on the highway and WOT) and I'm 48 years old. If you're completely stock I would go R400 for sure. It gets a bit louder with more mods. Not sure if you are planning more mods after the catback though. Maybe the Q300 if you plan on doing more mods and want a quieter sleeper car. The cold start will be significantly louder though, with either catback. So if you have jerk neighbors it might be better to get the Q300. Don't get the Tomei if you work early in the morning.
@@epicpeaker3155 thanks so much! One of my neighbors has a straight piped older model wrx which is very loud. Was hoping not to be that loud, probably won’t be adding a j pipe for whole so sounds like r400 is the winner
What is the Subaru part number for the group n? Thx :)
Call me crazy but isnt that supposed to be connected to the Inlet hose?
On the stock inlet, the boost controller screws right into it. The Perrin inlet does not have anywhere for it to screw into. I thought zip ties would be ghetto, and not very secure. My method is secure, and gives me peace of mind. Have no issues since install and Protune.
Just installed the Perrin turbo inlet and boomba bpv; when I let off the gas it sounds like a duck, a chilly 🥶 duck lol
Haha. Makes even more great sounds with an intake. Cheers!
Hi do you get much more increase of power at the wheels? Or is it more a deeper sound/looks? I currently have 215kw at the wheels 18 wrx Turbo back exhaust and process west air intake and verti cooler. I was thinking to get the Perrin headers and retune hope to see like 220 kw or something on 98 Ron Australia
Headers would probably get you a bit more. Somewhere around 15-20 kw at the wheel with a protune. Sound is not much louder, if you have a catted downpipe and mufflers. Maybe 5-10 percent increase. Although, if you're running cattless straight piped, it would be very loud!
Hey bro, did you have any problems with the existing studs hitting the back of the wheel?
No problems. But, they are the stock 18" Subaru wheels. Also the bolts are counter sunk, so I can't see how that could happen. Perhaps if you had smaller than 20mm spacers, then the stock bolts may be too long and might need to be replaced. But the 20mm spacers are good to go.
Where did you get your Perrin Engine Mounts from? I ordered mine from Subispeed and it didn't come with the bolt in order to properly install the bigger washer that faces towards the transmission. That being said do you know what size they were so I can get the right Bolt?
I got the mounts from Rally Sport Direct. I think I might have used the bolts from the old mounts. Call Perrin they have good customer service. I had a lug bolt shear off on my Perrin spacers and they sent me new ones.
Hi this thing need a tune? I can run it in stage 1?
Thank you bro because every mod on this car need a tune. I bought the Cobb intake, the access port and the boomba BPV and I want to know what I can do before do every installation so that is a good new that don’t need tune this headers thank you for the info.
Does this exhaust need tuning? And also does it need additional parts or is everything in the kit?
WRX sounds boring and ricey with any aftermarket exhaust on it. That's why I never put one on mine. Traded for the sti and that's where it's at.
You can get a low profile jack so you don't haft to use boards.
I watched ur video ending up getting the perrin intake, I have an 18wrx, how did U get that bottom bracket to fit the one bottom near number, the screw doesn’t reach so I left it, any tips?? Love the sound
I think there were spacers. You might want to try repositioning it. Also if you have a clamp you might be able to clamp it over and then screw it in. They have cheap clamps at Home Depot with a grip. Each time you squeeze the grip on the clamp it gets closer together.
How are these holding up?
No problems whatsoever. The Diode Dynamics SL1 is a superb product. Unfortunately 1 of my Morimoto fog bulbs is starting to flicker. I checked the wiring and it's probably the bulb. My Diode Dynamics C-lights are also going very strong still. DD makes great products!
Do you have to trim that spacer like he says you have to in ryans random rides?
How is the drone like driving at highway speed?
@@epicpeaker3155 thanks for the reply. Decided to get the r400 with the catted invidia j pipe. Its not resonated like the cobb so hopefully it's not to loud
I know this video is almost a year old right now but, do you remember what size bolt you ended up using? I like the spot you chose to mount it on and plan on doing the same this week. Thanks for the video!
Subie sounds awesome man! Did you get the supporting brace to go with it?
I didn't get the brace. I think Subaru learned from costly failures and has strengthened the firewall where the pitch stop connects. I believe this was done around 2017. forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2904448
@@epicpeaker3155 Gotcha! Unfortunately my subie is a 17 mfd in 2016 so I'm gonna have to get the brace lol. Nice stuff, thank you for the link!
BRILLIANT!! What a great idea! You're so smart.
Any link to buy the studs?
This is so freakin helpful. Just curious... are you running all the mods on the last slide now? It differs quite a bit from the first.
No. I'm running the modds on the first. I didn't want my car to be super loud. Also those on the second slide aren't emissions friendly. I run a catalytic converter and don't want to attract too much attention or piss off my neighbors. Loud car can get notes on car, eggs on car, keyed car and slashed tires. Maybe in the future I might get a fmic and brz intake. Maybe a carbon fiber driveshaft. But I would only run cattless on a dedicated race car, or if it was a old car that emissions were not applicable.
