- WHOOP, More stuff poping on the Subaru WRX hatch! I am pulling the engine out of the WRX next week but I have someone who needs a stock downpipe. So today we are temporarily installing our Grimmspeed Limited Downpipe on the hatch! As well as that we got our new wheels for the WRX Thanks to our friends over at Rallysport Direct! These wheels look so good and they're going to look even better once we get our new suspension on!

I'm always glad when someone can quit working for the man and do their own thing. Congrats to Mr Matt 💪💪
Thanks dude. Big weird step in the right direction
Congratulations Mr. MATTIAS!
Agreed. More to life than making other people rich day in/day out.
Hire me smee smee...I do art.🤣
Is there still a resonator on that exhaust if so take it off
Love the hatch build! Also the more relaxed vids are great especially with Mattias and how you two interact with each other.
Nice to mix it up sometimes 💪
Feels illegal to be this early
🤭🤭🤭
Got the same color car with those same wheels. What a beautiful color combo. Loving this build man
They surprisingly look so good together 🤗
Congrats Matt!!! Bader going to tune the hatch as well when it’s done??
Yesssssir 🥳
Been following for a while with the interest of a 2015 WRX. Realizing after marriage and eventually kids that I need a hatchback so eyeing 11-14s. Also moved to CA for work, so CARB/EPA compliancy is important. Really appreciate this build dude
Trying to help show what we can do 🥳🤝
You and Matt are hilarious together. Happy for both of you making strides 💪
About tine he became a free butterfly!
@@Smeedia 🤣
Awesome. Love the chill videos. Cant wait to see what color you wrap the car.
Just waiting for it to come back on stock 😁😁😁
Sounds good, like a big dog growl. Always thought WRXs are just one of those cars that looks great on a 5 spoke wheel. Split or standard. Congrats to Matt 👍
The 5 spoke Fits the car so well 🔥
@@Smeedia they're not top shelf but my brz runs Esr rf15's in bronze and they get nothing but compliments
Dude I am so stoked you got a CSF radiator.. they truly are the best for the price
i got a 13 stink eye limited sti and im in cali so this build is right up my alley.
Eyyyyy 🥳🥳🥳
Hey Tanner another one for ya. 2015 WRX Cobb with catted downpipe. Can’t get through CO emissions because oxy sensor reading not ready. No codes. Changed the tune bought new battery…100+ miles later still reading not ready.
What tune do you have?
Bro.... I just took a tour of GrimSpeed earlier today. I'm in Minneapolis for work (today was a much needed day off) and I must give a huge shout out to Avi (welding supervisor) and the guys at GrimmSpeed for taking the time to walk me through the building and talk parts, Subaru's, cars, and everything in between. Definitely looking forward to spending more money with them. Lol
Bunch of really cool guys over there, how was the facility?!
@@Smeedia super neat, a lot smaller then I anticipated and they just expanded within the building. Lol got to see the 2022 WRX that they are playing with which was interesting but they are said they have enjoyed working with it.
Tanner get a Killer B hard inlet. It makes a good difference and sounds great too. A lot better than the silicone inlets.
I have eyeballed those hard pipes 👀
When you get overlays for the rear tails you should totally snag some morimoto headlights. They look so good imo. The sequential turn signals add some spice as well.
Going to build a set of headlights 🥳
Those Rays wheels are 🔥
They look so good 🥰
Exciting to see you using that header, cant wait to see how it performs.
Very curious for both sound and performance with that thing!
I had the same reaction when I installed a Downpipe on my 04 WRX, but I still love it. It's the perfect volume in my opinion
Made it deeper but nit really louder 😅
Bake the headlights! Completely changes the look of the car.
That's on my list to do, doing a full retrofit 🙏
Those rays look sick, can’t wait to see you pull the engine out
We goinf tk make her fast 🔥
I had the same dp/intake combo on my sti...when I ran that stg 2+ map, car was running extremely lean, so be cautious until you get the car tuned.
Mines been running a bit rich lol 😅
Chill videos are super fun. Mixing things up is great. We don't always have know how to change piston rings, etc. Yer channel has risen in some part for these reasons. Been around since the old place. Peace
I still miss that old garage sometimes 😮💨
Sounds great! And those wheels are 👌. Congrats to Matt!!
Wheels fit thr car way better than just expected 🔥
You know me, that thing needs at least muffler deletes, on a full 3" turbo back exhaust. Only need a resonator for highway drone. Gotta have flames!
We need the fire!!!!!
I have a tsudo downpipe on here. I had never heard of it before but it's a catless downpipe that was under $400. Doesn't sound too bad and wasn't tok hard to install!
How are you getting around the P0420 code? 👀
Smoke the taillights it’ll look so good with those rims 🔥
Coming soon 🔥
It may seem minor, but you should get the STI mirrors as well
I agree with this, I want them 😅
Congrats to Matt! The rays look great on the car. My wheels show up tomorrow. Don’t know if I will put them on for BNW or save it for The mod garage car show.
PUT THEM ON FOR BIG NW!!
first off love this style of video still informative yet relaxed. but also was anyone able to find the tune that he mentioned in the discord I didn't have any luck on that front. thanks again for the great vids as always!
I don't think it's up there anymore unfortunately 😭
@@Smeedia all good i just picked up a 2014 WRX sedan and I was like wow okay this is perfect haha. appreciate it anyway man love from Florida!
The hatch is looking absolutely sick! I cannot wait to see where this build goes. Really like those wheels the color works perfect with the silver. If you end up doing a STI brembo brake swap maybe paint the calipers same as your Evo or another cool blue with white brembo logo would really set it off 💙
Ohhhh yes!! The brembo swap will HAVE to happen soon 😅
Careful with that CSF with oil cooler. There are a number of people who have used that particular radiator and oil cooler that have showing a massive oil pressure decrease.
I'll have to keep an eye on it 😳
@@Smeedia Grab an oil pressure gauge and do a before/after. From what I understand the average before oil pressures at full revs go down by 20 to 25 psi, which is pretty scary. Speed Academy had one on their Abandoned STI project and they had trouble with it leaking. Eventually they just stopped using it. That was enough for me to go Koyo.
I've got thr gauge already so I'll have to give it a test 🥲
I'm loving this series. I used to have a blue 14 hatch and I miss it! Such good cars. And those have been a long time favorite wheel! But please tell me you put a torque wrench on those lugs after zipping them on with the impact... I've seen wheels fall off while driving. Of all the nuts and bolts on a car that need to be properly torqued, I'd put lug nuts pretty high on the list!
I did not lol, that impact goes over torque spec. Most of the time I will snap em real quick but torque wrench is at the shop. Normally thr 3/8 will do around 105-110 ft lbs on lugs
the bushing in the steering rack on gr wrx ALWAYS leaks off the head of it. its a $30 fix but good to know you are avoiding that rage session by swapping in an sti rack. Anxious to hear that grimmspeed header after your install it because I've been eyeing it too
Ordering thr new rack this weekend, I'm not messing with bushings and crap 😅
Ride height in front perfect and if back was the same a front perfection any lower for me is just to low but that is my thing. It will still be nice ride. 👍🏼
Agreed, the rear fitment was a little funny 😅
Rims are super dope. Both types of videos are good. Make them both equally
I got you 🤝
Do you have a good, reputable place to get a new/rebuilt steering rack for an 05 STi? I found my power steering leak....but don't want to drop a grand on a brand new rack. Also an install/tutorial on a steering rack for the WRX would be greatly appreciated! Can't wait to see the slammed hatch😎
Unfortunately I don't 😮💨
I'll give an install video on it 🤝
Both video types are good. I find your more serious videos beyond informative and helpful in learning these cars but it's also good to switch it up and just hang out sometimes
The new shoes look good!
I feel this, the serious ones are boring to edit 😅
@@Smeedia but they're 🔥 bro
Oh so pretty wheels. I’m so jelly. I got the Cobb catted DP. Also, Q300 so much louder the the Q400. I was surprised 😮
Hmmm normally the Q300s are pretty quiet 🤔
Tanner the tunner commin at you with another video, my dude not messing around
And Matt the camera man took the cat out of the baloney bag, very nice all the best to him👌
Thr bag of balonga has been emptied of the kittens 🤌
These videos are the best don't stop 😎. I have a 2021 STI with a Cobb intake, grimmspeed ebcs, and about to iag AOS v3 street, and finishing up an e-tune from ambot. I'm trying to make the car as reliable as possible because it's my daily. Are there any other mods you think I should do to keep it safe? Are they any major quality of life mods such as the master cylinder brace that you really recommend? I have kartboys shifter bushing set and sway bar endlinks and whitelines sway bar. Also good daily/highway wheels and tires on stock suspension? I don't want to get get coils or springs in fear of ruining the ride quality 😅. Sorry for so many questions lmao. Thanks for the help just need good guidance.
I'd suggest a fluidamper for reliability as well, as far as quality of life: S.S brake lines, master cylinder brace, good shift knob snd a solid head unit 🔥
@@Smeedia best subi TH-camr hands down 👏😎
Vlogs are a nice switch up! Whichever you want to do man I’d watch
Eyyyyy ❤️❤️❤️
Nice vid Tanner and Matt!!! I think I found my new rims for my Hatch. Keep the vids light gentlemen. ✅️✅️✅️
Eyyyyy can't go wrong with some beefy 5 spokes 🥰
Love the video but I think I’m more excited for more of Mr Mattias
Yasss dudes moving in the right direction 💪
You should here my cosmic blue 14 sedan , Cobb 3” bell mouth catted gse down pipe to straight piped 3” mid pipe no resonator to quad exhaust muffler deletes…. Wow mine cracks and bangs so good super deep rumble and turbo sounds I’m stage 2+ right now. Map is running great 16.5 pounds of boost .only 85000 miles.
Ohhhhhhh heard similar set ups and they're 💪
I love seeing you build a hatch finally!! I have a Cobb GESI 3” DP to a Crawford performance Gymkana catback, and my car sounds insane!! I’ll tag you in a clip on the discord!
Ohhhhh ima go take a peek!
@@Smeedia lemme know what you think about the sound, and the Rays 57Xtremes!
Tanner!!! I love the hatch. My favorite chassis and I’m in love. You’re making us proud 😍
We're building thee most quality hatch we can 💪
10/10 loving the wrx videos. Miss my hatch more and more every video. Also the exhaust will sound so much better when you upgrade the up-pipe and headers too. Catted DPs are so much more restrictive. I figured it would be so much louder also
I was expecting much more but it's not terrible 😅
Hey! Love the steering wheel but i would love to see a aftermarket steering wheel comparison (carbon vs swade vs leather) i wanna buy one but idk which will be best for street driving.
Do you have an opinion?
Maybe a sponsor can send you one of each :)
Personally I don't like leather or carbon,
Carbon looks great but scratches so easily and in the summer gets hit AF, same with leather 🙏
Love the intro energy and those gram lites GO! I’m a fan
MY MAN!!!! 🤝💪
Without a doubt, best delivered content on Subis! Gotta smile on my face after watching this, keep up the weird!
Keep the weird alive 🤝
i just ordered those headers im soooooooo excited to get them apparently i wont get them till mid September so sad lol. Please install them soon i really want to hear them somewhere else besides grimspeeds video clips. be sweet if you did a review on them as well
They will be glong on next week 🤝💪
@@Smeedia ouuu im excited now 😁😍
Still sounds okay 👍🏼
let's gooo love the hatch. ps. slap a tint on the tail lights, the clears just need some love ;)
That's happening soon 😅
Wow people doing horrible maintenance. A good catch and that Grimmspeed downpipe is going to be dope.
Dude idk why they only used 2 bolts 💀
@@Smeedia I know right? Pure laziness and stupidity.
It looks like they had a fmic since the bumper looks cut. Also car might get quieter or louder after pro tune. My car got quieter after my pro tune compared to ots map.
Luckily no cuts on the bumper from a fmic 💪
Woah....Thought you were going Super Saiyan with the intro
R400 Sounds soooooooo good.
Honestly enjoy both kinds of videos. You and your crew are awesome.
POWER LEVEL IS OVER 5 😅
"Zoolander is the best movie ever". Truth. I knew there was a reason I watched all your videos.... You know, other than awesome car content.
We are one in the same 🤝
Dude you are inching up to 100,000 subscribers.. I am dear friends with the infamous Andy Dick and him and I were talking the other night about how to grow social media platforms and some random TH-camrs were at this event and they gave a bunch of really good information and the take away I got from these conversations was diversifying across all social media accounts as imperative, especially tiktok.
I'm so bad about posting on tik tok, short form videos are not for me 😅
Wheels look dope. I just put some motegi traklite 3s in 5 spoke on my sti. Look pretty similar. I ordered 6 spoke but the 5s showed up and I said F it because my sto k wheels were hammered.
As long ad your happy with em that's all that matters 🤝🥳
Love the wheel!! I got the 57DR brown with my white hatchback.
Brown?! I've never seen Brown ones before 👀
Nice fit on those wheels man, nice look 👌 👍 Can't wait to see/watch more vids, no matter straight installs or fun one's, all great!!
The wheels ended up being a damn near perfect fit 🥳 and much more to come 😁
@@Smeedia Do you think you'd be able to identify a front bumper for my '17 Sti? I'm trying to get oem Fog light housing, etc. for it, it's not the stock one that came with car.
@@Smeedia love that color matching too on them
I used to have the grimmspeed limited divorced dp with my r400 non resonated in my 15 Sti and sounds great, loud but not crazy loud but i know for sure that once my rotat3d build setup is done is going to be a whole different story, specially with the killer b max ve header mated with the ets kit. By the way bro sell that oem dp and cop couple $$$ out, your wrx hatchback is coming out clean💪🔥
Have a buyer in Cali snagging it so he can pass emmisions 🤝
I love the more straight forward videos you’ve done bc it helps me a lot, HOWEVER!! Please do more content like this! I love the chill fun vibes, you seem to be enjoying it and seem a lot more relaxed! (Also how did you get GS to send you a down pipe?!!!?!)
The chill videos are always more fun to shoot 😁 grimmspeed sent us lots of goodies 🥳
I love seeing this hatch. It’s helping me get motivated to change my STI’s transmission. It gets delivered tomorrow 🤞
Whats wrong with the old one? 👀
Blew it up a week after I bought it 🥲
I was taking my wife to the ER went to shift to third and 8 months later I finally bought a transmission. 😅

🥲🥲
That’s awesome for Matt!!!! Congrats
🥳🥳🥳🥳
Love the style videos. I want those wheels so bad but now you gotta do a brembo swap lol. Also the grimmspeed downpipe with the r400 sounds amazing.
Brembos need to happen sooner than later 🥲
I'm totally with you.on the tails. Looking' good!
💪💪💪
"Orange Mocha Frappuccino!!!"" Lol, that scene is how I look every time I drive away from sonic with a slush, lol.
Lmao yessss 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I run 57cr in gun blue on my silver 2022 BRZ they look amazing
They look WAY better than I was expecting them too 🥰
Exhaust tone got deeper with the downpipe
Definitely deeper 💪
Love the sound clips, personal opinion, i think the stock wheel look better, excited for the rest of the build though!
The stock wheels really did not look bad at all 💪
Me too, that blue doesnt go with the silver imo
I'm looking at the 57s for my va wrx so you def. Just threw me over the ledge on these lol btw the car made 376hp and 350tq loving it and driving the hell out of it. Keep up the great work man and love the normal style build you are going for on the hatch!
Ohhhh sounds like you made some solid power! Feel good? And can't go wrong with the 57s!
@@Smeedia feels great man! It feels like it jumps out when run someone which is probably the best part lol I still got a little bit before I can order the 57s though
Nice video. I also have a 14 Hatch and have many of the same mods. Fun to watch and relive it all. Wondering if you have plans for the stock rims?
Have them posted up for sale 😅
Nice update... Love the wheels... quieter than expected because....CAT ;)
Yeah 😮💨
Luv seeing Mat in the vids so much more often now!!! :D
Yasssss 🥳🥳🥳
Can't wait for the sound clip once you get those Grimmspeed Headers on
Very curious to hear what it sounds like 🔥
When you mentioned the invidia downpipe first I laughed out loud nervously because it resonated with me so well 😅 that bellmouth is a nightmare sliding it up behind the turbo AND that one bolt on the bottom is tucked away like a wee lil piggy. 😂
That one got damn bolt is such a PIA 🥲
It's absurd how close my build is to yours lol. I have the grimmspeed limited ceramic coated dp, faction fab f-spec coils, and rays gramlight 57c in bronze on a white 11 hatch
Are we twinning or what? 👀
Ps: I rock the same tires continental way better then the yokohama advance plus
Man speaks facts 🔥
I miss my STI hatch. If Subaru still made a sporty hatch/wagon I wouldn’t have had to buy a VW Alltrack. Looking forward to the build!
Hey those All tracks are pretty dope though
@@Smeedia it has the IS38 turbo, intercooler, downpipe, intake and clutch so it goes pretty good! About 350hp, a little better than the stock 170hp 🤙🏼
Can you swap out basically any wrx/sti steering rack for a newer one? I have a 00’ Impreza rs and my steering rack is leaking so I was hoping I can just swap and sti/wrx one in. Thanks for always replying keep up the most quality content
For the most part yes. Some older ones require a little modification
When Tanner mentioned Zoolander, I thought I was about to see a "Gasoline Fight!"
Lmao we can't afford that 💀🤣
HAMMY’S looking good!!!!
😁😁😁😁
What up Tanner torn between doing bags or coilovers, but ultimately I think I’m I’m choosing coils for performance reasons any suggestions for spring rate for rear and fronts? It’s a 21 sti and it is my daily for some perspective
8K front and rear 🤝
helllyessss!!!!! You're too awesome! Thank you for your videos man! Ya'll rock!
❤️❤️❤️
YeahMatt!!! where’s those videos???
Oh they comin. Might continue with some cinematics. Update video coming soon to get back into things.
@@MatlasDI nice looking forward to it
What size tire did you end up going with for the wheels ??
Super stoked for more Matias content!!!
🥳🥳🥳🥳
Tanners neighbors "He's yelling again, his cars are about start revving again..."
Also Tanner "I bought a new daily....engines coming out."
Bright side, your decisions grant me much entertainment on my boring office days....an those are in high numbers 🤣
I commented to soon. Zoolander the greatest?! Caddyshack would have a word with you sir! We duel at dawn!
5 P.M behind the money bars 😮💨
Congrats on the big leap Matias 🫡
🥳🥳🥳
These chill videos are fire man 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Eyyyy glad to hear 💪
I knew it was gonna 57cr's there the new hotness for wheels they do look really good
The beefy 5 spokes look so damn good 🔥
I have that csf radiator as well but the place i had it installed didn't cap the oil portion so it got crap all up in it. So when my builder went to do it he was like the other people messed up so now I have a external oil cooler. The radiator is awesome though. I figured u were getting those wheels lol u over there trying to be my brother. Can't be my twin different colors
Duuuude I'd be so pissed if they did not cap it off and got filled with dirt and debris 😮💨
@@Smeedia o trust me I was and my builder tried to save it. U will have to let me know if the oil cooler portion is fire
Wow this is coming along fast. Did you happen to get compression test or leakdown numbers for this bad boy?
Nope 🤣 figured I'd just send it and see what happens. Have another engine waiting to go in
@@Smeedia nice! Might be kinda cool to see a before and after comparison like how bad is a typical used engine. Yours sounds pretty smooth tho
Let’s gooooooo, congrats to matts
🥳🥳🥳🥳
What tire size are you running on them? It’s perfect!!
245/35/18 😁
I want one of these so bad, still hoping for that matte red wrap job 😤
Just waiting for the wrap to come back in stock 🤝
@@Smeedia my hero 🥰🥰🥰
What do you think about the new Grimspeed V2 J pipe. They claim it wont throw a code but we'll see. Waiting for mine to arrive.
Seen a few in person and verified no P0420 💪
I want those wheels!! Those or the 57xtreme are what I've been looking at! Also, Zoolander is top tier
Zoolander is 🤌🤣
Hey @smeedia did the Grimmspeed down pipe give you a CEL? Im debating thr Cobb down pipe or grimmspeed.
