Honestly way quieter than I thought a side exit would be I imagine the catted version would only be a little louder than a straight pipe set up if not the same. Sounds sick tho especially the pops!
It’s surprising quiet when you want it to be. The next time I have the bumper off, I’ll be sure to record how the install works and how it looks with no bumper.
The flames are a little hard to see from the angle and time of day. You can see plenty of flames from those exhausts (on quite a few customer builds) on the Instagram page @sbtkdeletes
Thanks brother!! I’m stoked you like it! 🔥 It sounds much better in person, same as the Bastard Pipe I build. Maybe soon I can get better equipment to help capture the true sound.
When you did the side exit, did the tuner get rid of engine light? I have a veloster turbo and currently going to start building since it’s out of warranty and just sits in my garage cause I use my business vehicle, and was looking to do a side exit fender exhaust, no one in the veloster community has done it,
Thank you! No issues on my end! As long as you’re tuned, you shouldn’t experience issues either. In my situation, I was tuned for a catless full exhaust system and installed the side exit after (without a retune) and haven’t had any changes in performance. No codes, no changes in AFR, no boost changes, etc.
It could be the material that we use compared to other exhausts companies. It could also be that the sound has less distance to travel and less walls to bounce off of. It is definitely more quiet than you would expect from such a short system. Though it’s fairly quiet at normal cruising speeds, WOT really wakes it up. Especially when paired with an EWG header setup.
Did you completely delete the washer fluid reservoir or relocate it? And if you relocated it, where? I plan on getting this I’m absolutely in love with the look and sound
Currently, I have mine completely deleted however I plan on making a relocation kit. It will probably be a smaller reservoir that can run the OEM pump, but will be be tucked up and out of the way from the exhaust.
I’m running the 3 bung, but the 3rd bung is plugged until I get a stand-alone wideband. It’s nice knowing that I have the extra bung waiting lol The 3rd bung comes with a plug when you order it.
It’s quite a bit louder. The FA20 is fairly tame on idle but you would hear the major difference under acceleration. Especially with the backfires and pops. The catted variant is a bit more quite at a cruise though.
Very worth it. Leaps and bounds better than OEM for sure. If you use an iPhone, I strongly recommend getting it with the apple car play dongle. Without it is a struggle.
I’m not a tuner but I was tuned for catless prior to installing my side exit, so I installed it and monitored the access port for any strange readings but none occurred. AFR stayed the same, zero knock values, same boost values, so I ran with it. I am also running EWG for the possibility of boost creep though. If you’re already catless and aren’t running EWG, it shouldn’t make much of a difference if you’re catless side exit vs catless j pipe. In my opinion mind you. I’m not a tuner lol
It’s entirely up to you. The heatplate helps diffuse some of the heat, prevent bumper melt, as well as help keep a clean appearance after cutting the bumper.
Not bad at all in my opinion. The FA20 is a pretty tame motor. On WOT, with supporting mods, it can get pretty loud. Normal driving isn’t overbearing. Compared to something like a catted Invidia, yes it’s much louder.
Power wise, we don’t have evidence that proves/disproves any performance gains. However, it’s much lighter than a full traditional system while sitting higher off the ground allowing for a lower ride height.
You will most likely need a tune. Contact a tuner to see what they suggest/recommend. Most tuners require an EWG header to run catless while others do not. When it doubt, refer to a tuner 🙂
Fix your turn signal, that exhaust sounds worse than a fart can, you should probably of fixed your Tpms for the price of that exhaust, oh and nice shitty Chinese android radio bet the audio quality is superb. Go buy a Honda.
Who hurt you? 🙃 TPMS isn’t necessary. Fun fact, pre 2007, most cars didn’t come with TPMS. It’s hard to believe the world functioned fine before that system was introduced. The head unit works absolutely amazing actually. I personally haven’t had a single issue with it. Have you had experience with the Dasaita head unit? What’s wrong with the turn signals? Seems pretty functional to me. It sounds to me like you’re a Subaru purist. I’m willing to go out on a limb and say you put generic Walmart tires on your car and complain about road noise in your rally car. If you don’t have any intelligent and respectful criticism, don’t bother commenting at all 👍🏻

Exactly what we said! We’re in love with the turnout and glad that others share the same feelings towards it. ☺️
Sounds so good. Throw a mic on the front bumper and hit the forest back roads!
South Carolina doesn’t have any good roads 😢 But definitely need to get a higher quality mic to rock externally!
this wrx is crazy 🔥🔥 everytime i look at it .
Thank you homie!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
This car is literally perfect 😍
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Too much camber
Sounds amazing. It wasn't as loud as i thought it would be. Will you show a video of how this was done with the bumper removed?
It’s surprising quiet when you want it to be. The next time I have the bumper off, I’ll be sure to record how the install works and how it looks with no bumper.
great video on the exhaust I've always wondered about side exit exhaust
Thank you!
Keep the vids coming always dope to see you post
Bro what turbo do you have it sounds like heaven😭 and that wing is just amazing bro loved this , lowkey want your car
Thank you! It’s the OEM turbo! The Hellfire Fab side exit just really brings out the turbo spool!
Still waiting on the massive flames you were talking about ...
The flames are a little hard to see from the angle and time of day. You can see plenty of flames from those exhausts (on quite a few customer builds) on the Instagram page @sbtkdeletes
It sounds fucking amazing man
Thanks brother!! I’m stoked you like it! 🔥 It sounds much better in person, same as the Bastard Pipe I build. Maybe soon I can get better equipment to help capture the true sound.
I saw that kill la kill wallpaper ma guy
Yessss! 🖤
That shit sounds crazy bro

Yes the tuner handled everything ECU/PCM based. If you’re local to me, I wouldn’t mind building one for you!
Love the car, did that center display come with the car?
Thank you! It’s the Dasaita display. It was a Christmas gift to me. I enjoy it, I just wish it had apple car play.
Hey just curious. Did you have any issues with the car throwing lean codes with the side exhaust? Sick build btw
Thank you!

🔥🔥🔥
Hey stef how much are those nowadays in dollars
It's so beautiful
You can pick up a side exit as low as $520! You can check them out on www.SBTKdeletes.com
Shit man idk if I can daily this in NY 😂😂😭😭
Why does it sound quieter than a normal jpipe to a cat back exhaust?
It could be the material that we use compared to other exhausts companies. It could also be that the sound has less distance to travel and less walls to bounce off of. It is definitely more quiet than you would expect from such a short system. Though it’s fairly quiet at normal cruising speeds, WOT really wakes it up.

If you do make it I’d be 100% down to buy it! Nice setup though, whole car is absolutely amazing
Sounds sick! Did you get 2 bung or wideband 3 bung?
I’m running the 3 bung, but the 3rd bung is plugged until I get a stand-alone wideband. It’s nice knowing that I have the extra bung waiting lol The 3rd bung comes with a plug when you order it.
Stephen Baran not a bad idea! I was about to order it and wasn’t sure which one to get. I wouldn’t have thought to plug it. Thanks!
How much louder is this compared to a catless exhaust setup?
It’s quite a bit louder. The FA20 is fairly tame on idle but you would hear the major difference under acceleration. Especially with the backfires and pops. The catted variant is a bit more quite at a cruise though.
That android headunit? Worth it? Seems so pricey for what it is, but then again the stock stereo in my 17 sti is just horrendous.
Oh, and Jesus fuck that sounds so badasssssss.
Very worth it. Leaps and bounds better than OEM for sure. If you use an iPhone, I strongly recommend getting it with the apple car play dongle. Without it is a struggle.
What kind of tune are you running aswell did you do anything to prevent boost creep
I’m running an etune from Ron at Phatbotti! EWG header is what I’m using to prevent boost creep possibilities.
if im all ready pro tuned on a catless setup would this need a retune? or the addition of ewg?
I’m not a tuner but I was tuned for catless prior to installing my side exit, so I installed it and monitored the access port for any strange readings but none occurred. AFR stayed the same, zero knock values, same boost values, so I ran with it. I am also running EWG for the possibility of boost creep though.

Hey man love the build I don’t know if you’ve made a video of it or not but what display unit is that ?
I haven’t yet, but I do plan on it!
Does this WRX have the stock GT2259 still?
Yes, it’s stock turbo still! This setup is making 415whp currently.
What’s the mod list for me to throw this on my car 🥺
You just need to delete or relocate the wiper fluid reservoir and pop a hole in the bumper! A tune s recommended as well.
How’s the exhaust smell running this?
Not too bad. Every now and then you might get a smell but mostly when you’re just at idle, in a garage, or making slow left turns.
Do the exhaust fumes go into your face while you're driving?
Nope! You might get a slight smell from a very slow left turn, but very rarely.
If I do a hood or side exit do I have to get car retuned?
It’s recommended, yes!
@@StephenBaran ok cool, thanks for reply
What dash is this?
Stock Turbo Location?
Yes sir, stock turbo!
Really debating doing this but emissions lol
keep the stock exhaust just in case 🙃
please do just a POV drive!!!
I can do that when I get back home 😁 I’m out of state for a few months but I plan on jumping back in right away!
should u get the heatplate
It’s entirely up to you. The heatplate helps diffuse some of the heat, prevent bumper melt, as well as help keep a clean appearance after cutting the bumper.
Any special tune?
You’ll need a tune for anything that isn’t OEM or that is different than what you’ve been previously tuned with.
How’s the drone?
Not bad at all in my opinion. The FA20 is a pretty tame motor. On WOT, with supporting mods, it can get pretty loud. Normal driving isn’t overbearing. Compared to something like a catted Invidia, yes it’s much louder.
Do you have a turbo in it?
Yep! OEM spooly boy
Shit ton of back fire lol
what radio is that??
Dasaita!
Go to the dealer and have them turn off tpms
They can legally turn that system off for you? I had no idea
who tuned your two-step/antilag?
Its N2MB. Install, plug into PC, adjust parameters, and go.
What’s the two step set up exactly?
The two step device that I have installed is the N2MB brand. It’s an ignition cut launch control, vs the fuel cut that Cobb uses.
Stephen Baran is there a write up on how you wired it in?
In for a WOT box install tutorial on a 2015+ WRX.
do you daily drive this?
Nope, I daily a 2015 FRS. I have before though!
any benefit over conventional style? other than scaring the shit out of guy driving next to u
Power wise, we don’t have evidence that proves/disproves any performance gains. However, it’s much lighter than a full traditional system while sitting higher off the ground allowing for a lower ride height.
Stock block ?
Yes sir!
What headunit is that?
Dasaita!
would you need a Dyno tune or just with the cobb accessport?
You will most likely need a tune. Contact a tuner to see what they suggest/recommend. Most tuners require an EWG header to run catless while others do not. When it doubt, refer to a tuner 🙂
did you end up selling this?
Yes I still produce them for www.SBTKdeletes.com but we’re currently waiting on materials to arrive to continue production.
Is this catted or catless
Both! You can order either version at www.HellfireFabrication.com
Can you still run the metal shield?
You can still run the stock skid plate.
@@StephenBaran thank already got it on I order the heart shaped one from you 💪🏾
Ewg🤤🤤🤤
It’s the most beautiful chaotic sound 😄
Zero Thiccccccc
