Honestly this is probably the best sounding fa20 exhaust setup I’ve heard. It’s not overly loud and annoying like others. It even has a bit of a rumble unlike others.
Running MAPerformance Stage 2 e30 tune with their Intake, J-pipe and an Invidia R400. It's been solid and feels absolutely amazing after 8k miles. I'll be holding off on performance mods for a while, but CP And TMIC from MAP are next up next for sure. Love the wheels btw!
@@therunningman8692 Well he and many others seems to be put off by how “loud” it is. It’s noticeable but doesn’t dominate the driving experience. It’s perfect to me
@@therunningman8692 a little custom heat management and the Cobb Big Sf intake Temps are much better than the stock intake... I'm old school, I prefer the sound of a turbo over the sound of a loud exhaust with pops.
great review bro I love my 2019 stage 2 plus mines cobb ots tune I don't have any issues either but the smell you were getting was the new exhaust system that (smell anyway) mine went away in about a week but the restrictor is good to do I've heard I dont have it done yet .. the exhaust shop that did my setup warned me of the smell and it would go away I was told, if you go catless is when you need the sump restrictor but it's a good support either way its cheap part and easy install especially for the setup.
Love it man! Have you considered upgrading your clutch? I just ordered the same set up a few days before watching this video except I got the invidia R400 cat back and an ACT HD clutch kit. I did not know about needing the Perrin sump restrictor thing so thanks for that. Best of luck on your future builds!
**ONE YEAR REVIEW** A really good review you did here. 👏 This an STI, right? How has this package treated you thus far? Pros / Cons? They don't make this yet for the 2021 but Stage 2 on 91 Octane with this OTS should be just what I need.
How's the car holding up so far? I'm really curious since I wanna go stage MAP Stage2 from stage 1. Just worried if it's too aggressive for the engine!
So I've been looking into getting a stage one. However online in their store on stage 2 the list of what comes with the kit is the same as to what comes on stage one. I was wondering if I need to buy stage one, and then stage 2, or should I get a stage 2 right away since according to the product description it says it will come with it. (Which doesn't make too much sense for the price listed)
my set up is MAperformance catless downpipe STI resonated midpipe Muffler deletes MAperformance Intake Boomba Bypass valve Maperformance stage 2 OTS tune Soon to install Maperformance intercooler & charge pipe The boomba helps hold boost inbetween shifting gears and is crucial for the upgraded intercooler! it also sounds really cool, but i 100% noticed the difference once installing it because you DONT LOSE POWER, has for sure won me some races with no dip inbetween shifts. great vid!
@@Strongbymyself did the boomba bpv become louder with the MAP chargepipe? I using it on the stock intercooler with just an intake and it's pretty loud lol. I read a comment elsewhere that the bpv sound gets louder with a chargepipe
@@Steve-qr2lm really my stock one leaked in one year i changed to a nameless and it's been great I have a hard time with this one because I hear it back and forth but my experience is different lol I'm stage 2plus with cobb and mine drives great 2019 wrx
@@Squadrafoglio Any tips on selling with mods? Thinking about selling mine since it's such a sellers market right now. I have a 2018 with 9k miles, just have Cobb OTS stage 1, swift springs, invidia R400, bunch of small cosmetic stuff and some wedssport wheels. Was it easy to sell with mods? I'm afriad I'll need to put a bunch of work into it to put it back to stock but I really don't want to.
Griffin Burke awesome man. I figured it might take some time to find a buyer that’s okay with the mods, really not sure if anyone is willing to pay extra for nice wheels etc. looking forward to the video and appreciate the response! Take it easy
The fa20 doesn’t just blow up out of nowhere with light mods lol. If u get a proper tune, preferably not an OTS, and don’t push further than the mechanical limits, it can hold a pretty hefty amount of power.
@@remissiveslave What are you considering light mods? Because there are hundreds and hundreds of WRX's that run setups as serious as FBO on e60 and never have a complete motor failure. WRX's don't just randomly blow up with light modifications unless there is an absolutely horrible tune on the car.

This is literally the BEST video I've ever seen on this topic. You sir, are a saint.
Like the review, you should make more content. You have a good and natural personality for creating content.
The intake sounds from the Cobb intake are amazing!!! Not sure why people don't like that. You cant even hear it if your stereo is up

I saw your comment on MAPerformance bro good idea keep making more reviews
You are supposed to remove the restrictor pill when you do Stage 2.
I'm curious, why did you sell the car if you seemed like you were so in love with it?

u really should get a dyno tune man will be so much better .Wheres the new vids man
Proper clean build
I have the same set up. Im making 300hp 305flbs at 22 psi
on 93 octane
ayyy cardif by the sea apartments we neighbors dude
Great video man
MAPerformance just made a video on making 350hp on 15+WRX
I am about to build my 2018 STI. looking to spend 2500 to build it up, any suggestions to get started?
Lmao I have those same exact blueish/greenish stools at 1:10 at my beach house
Did you run into any smog problems with this upgrade?
I noticed your from San Diego! I'm from San Diego as well and am contemplating..

says w r x. lmao
@@christopherrogers8316 Doesn't say in the title. I don't read the description. Fair enough?
Keep the FA20 content coming mate!
If you do the tgv deletes you lose that cold start nonsense, plus more flow at the top end
Question why did you go on 91 and not 93 tune
How's the car holding up so far? I'm really curious since I wanna go stage MAP Stage2 from stage 1. Just worried if it's too aggressive for the engine!
@@Squadrafoglio thanks! What did you get? Sti or M4 ? Lol
@@Squadrafoglio that was close lol
If you got an aftermarket intercooler you should be either stage 3 or 3+
Dude, hit up Ron Watson he’s amazing on our cars!! Map tunes Can’t even come close
MaPerformance downpipe and catback?

Any way you could send me the name of that front lip?
buy the boomba bypass valve, i have the exact same set up on your car with the boomba BPV, i would 100% recommend it!!!!!
my set up is
MAperformance catless downpipe
STI resonated midpipe
Muffler deletes
MAperformance Intake
Boomba Bypass valve
Maperformance stage 2 OTS tune
Soon to install Maperformance intercooler & charge pipe
The boomba helps hold boost inbetween shifting gears and is crucial for the upgraded intercooler! it also sounds really cool, but i 100% noticed the difference once installing it because you DONT LOSE POWER, has for sure won me some races with no dip inbetween shifts. great vid!

Keep the stock BPV, all these aftermarket ones cause issues and leak. Stock BPV is fine for up to 350whp.
I have the bypass valve installed but I don’t have the rest of the bolt ons yet!! So I can’t even hear the bypass valve! Lol
@@Steve-qr2lm really my stock one leaked in one year i changed to a nameless and it's been great I have a hard time with this one because I hear it back and forth but my experience is different lol I'm stage 2plus with cobb and mine drives great 2019 wrx
If you don't mind me asking how tall are you?
What catback were you running?
You should get a sticker that says "I'm gay for my car".
Is this with a catless or catted j pipe?
Is that with mufflers or muffler delete?
What was that duck bill?
How’s everything holding up so far? Clutch?

what vortex generator is that?
Can you drift bro?
Did you put a BOV on your wrx?
Thats the intake sound
Ahh, why did you do a 91 octane instead of 93? Hate power?
California doesn't sell 93
What part of SD are you in??
What would you do if this weak asf engines decides to do what most do with even light mods? Spend 7-8k on a replacement?
