Great video, as always. I would recommend wearing mechanic gloves when hanging the mufflers. The edges of the heat shields are very sharp. One slip and ouchie.
Another amazing video again... Out of curiosity, have you done a coilovers install video yet? If not, will you have one any time soon? Because your install tutorial videos are the greatest on planet Earth...
I love your video, been looking around different vids to install my r400 and this seems like the easiest and best instructions on youtube. Im gonna give a go now, Thank you so much!
Hey man just to clarify.. if one is ONLY installing the catback then you're suggesting to get that adapter for the stock down pipe to aftermarket mid pipe or are you saying if one is doing an aftermarket catback to an aftermarket down pipe they need the adapter? Sorry I listened back like twice lmao just wanna make sure I have it right I think it's the first one I mentioned stock down pipe to aftermarket catback = adapter necessary. Thanks in advance for the clarification 🙌
How mandatory is the adapter I ordered it but it hasn’t moved from MAP warehouse in Wisconsin whereas my catback is coming in today I’ll use the adapter when it gets here but I really don’t want to wait to put on the exhaust lol like if I line it up and don’t crush the donut will it work for a couple days until my adapter shows up ?
So i definitely bent the downpipe flange😅 I notice water dripping from the grimspeed gasket, is this a leak? I don't feel any air leak from there. Would it be best if I took the downpipe off, straighten the flange back and reassemble?
I grew up in Buffalo, and I was well aware that the salty roads ate up cars, but I had not idea just how quickly. That's a 2020 car and the bolts are already rusted through!
@@akqjtn thank you for the information. Just ordered the Q300 and didn’t exactly know if the adapter was necessary. Also, are the pipes on a STI the same or different for a WRX?
Hey man sorry this question is irrelevant. I just purchased a 2021 impreza cvt base as my first car. Can i add a turbocharger to it? and where could i get one? Appreciate your helpful cvt vids man!
Short answer is yes, but it's a complicated process that will cost you quite a bit and has huge potential to destroy your car. I'm not even 100% positive if that car has the high torque CVT in it. If it doesn't I wouldn't even consider it.
Invidia also provides the exhaust adapter if someone care about to be fancy. Grimmspeed is also good 👍 good point of mentioning to clean donut gasket from rust, not many people would pay attention to this detail but that’s what gives you the perfect seal without a leak. I get the R400 with titanium tips myself plus the Invidia adapter and installing a week from today. Great and simple video without bs. Congratulations on your exhaust, always watch your videos with such a interest man👊😎 Cheers from across the border. Toronto🇨🇦 Mike
How much HP does your CVT push? I have one atm and I been wanting to get an exhaust, air intake for the CVT, and a catless down pipe, and midpipe what exact parts should I get for it if I’m looking to increase performance and sound.
I'm curious to know which down pipe you went with? I know cobb is developing one for the 2020 specifically, but MAPerformance has a highly recommended GESI version. Will you be doing a video review of the downpipe and performance increase as well?
I will, that is my next big mod. As of right now the MAPerformsnce one is my choice, but that could change by the time I get to it. I'd like to edit and release a few videos I've already filmed first.
@@akqjtn Fabulous! That was my go to pick right now as well. If Cobb came out with their downpipe, it'd probably change (especially since the q300 already has a flex pipe). I always look forward to more of your videos!
Please do more video about Subaru Ascent, what is going on ? Its review went down from high to low scores on reliability to safety, complaints, recalls, transmissions, repairs. Love to own one Subaru Ascent 2021 or 2022 ( when it becomes available ). Which Subaru SUV is more dependable with less complaints or recalls or problems comparing Ascent , Forester, Outback or Crosstrek from Touring models . Help, I need some help . Which one I will buy. Subaru SUV or Toyota Highlander 2021 models unless 2022 are coming ?.. Thanks 🙏 for your time and support with my Quest ( buying a dependable , less problems SUV. 🥲🥰💫🌹🌸🌻🪐☃️.Many Blessings.
This is by far the best explanation I’ve ever seen if these videos. Great job!
Your video helped me big time man. Thanks for being detailed and to the point.
Glad it helped!
Great video, as always. I would recommend wearing mechanic gloves when hanging the mufflers. The edges of the heat shields are very sharp. One slip and ouchie.
Finally a good install video, like the info and details man! Most people’s videos suck and miss so many things. Good job and Thank You!
I love how detailed you are my man 👍🏿

Just installed mine last night; thanks for the walk-through!

Great video. I just need to mention that the additional flange is not necessary. I did this exact exhaust on my 2020 sti today and no leaks
您好，請問需要加墊片嗎，謝謝
Great vid man. miss your CVT videos
Thanks! Got some CVT content coming up. I do miss my WRX, wish I could have kept it.
I appreciate your videos man! Putting a Corsa exhaust on my 2020 STi this weekend.
great vid! I'm taking delivery of a 2021 STI in Oct. any idea if i need to wait until after the break in period before i install aftermarket exhaust?
No, as long as it's just a catback you are fine.
for the adapter piece, it's not discussed but looks like he ended up putting the washer on the nut side as opposed to the bolt head side.
Awesome video! I went with the same exhaust on my 2018 wrx! no regrets !
Thanks! I'm pretty happy myself, getting the DP soon.
@@akqjtn cant wait for the downpipe! i was planning to go the same route.
@@akqjtn i would say i hope you did a tutorial video on it but i’m going to install it this week so too late for that 😂
A great video brother. 😊Have a great Thanksgiving.
Great detailed oriented video. Thanks man
This was a great help, thank you!

How has the Q300 held up to corrosion over the years?
My 2 bolts also broke from the winter rust, I bought a new cat back, kinda an excuse too
Great install video
So i definitely bent the downpipe flange😅 I notice water dripping from the grimspeed gasket, is this a leak? I don't feel any air leak from there. Would it be best if I took the downpipe off, straighten the flange back and reassemble?
Great idea with the garbage can holder

To install this exhaust, do you need the Dow pipe adapter? Or can you leave the stock gasket or do you get one from the exhaust kit?
It's a different size, so you need the adapter.
@@akqjtn thank you for the information. Just ordered the Q300 and didn’t exactly know if the adapter was necessary. Also, are the pipes on a STI the same or different for a WRX?
@@MrReesos I think they’re both 2.5 in diameter.
Also make sure you clean up the pipes with some alcohol to stop the oils from your fingers burning into the metal finish!
Good tip thank you
I brought mine second hand, i dont have the grimm speed adapter. Could instead use 2x gaskets in its place?
No

@@akqjtn damn okay i appreciate it sir.
Can you make a video for the jack points on an Sti? There are ton of them for the WRX, but almost none for the sti

Can you also link the gasket? I bought a used invidia q300 and I can't seem to find the right gasket for it
Did you manage to install without turning adapter I'm in the same situation
Will this require a tune? Thanks
It does not.
Why did you go with Q300 instead of R400? Just curious.

No need to use spring bolt?
I knew I forgot to mention something 🤦♂️This particular catback has a flex pipe built in, so spring bolts are not necessary.
Damn this guy sounds just like the dude from My WRX Channel
Would this exhaust fit a 2010 Forrester?
wait when did you get the new diffuser?
A few months back, I did record the whole install just haven't gotten around to editing.
@@akqjtn look forward to that vid, have been looking at getting a similar one myself
Thanks for dropping by! Check out the review video here: th-cam.com/video/sxys7cYMFuY/w-d-xo.html
Hey man, is there any email I can contact you at? Would like to tune my amp from your other video and I'm having a slight issue.
wow didn’t know how rusty an exhaust could get in such short time.
That's Buffalo NY for you
@@akqjtn yeah i live in watertown i guess i can relate lol
OMG 2020 and that must surface rust already 0_0 fuck
