aThe sound your STI makes is terrifying, in the best possible way. Frightening. Aggressive. And on top of it, really glad the quad tip is back, feels way more balanced. Epic content!
That sounds VIOLENT at wot, and to think I've had this sitting in my attic since March of last year 😳. I am glad to have heard it now I might actually do some work on my car. Still at 1600 miles.... great video. Really makes me excited about what I could have if I just start the damn build. As always take care and ✌️!
I love this exhaust. Have the same on my 21 STi just no res on mine. Everything else is stock and i absolutely love it it opened it up so much and everything just sounds so much better.
My first exhaust for my previous '12 STI was the Invidia Q300 - Love it and never changed it. My second exhaust is my current one - Cobb SS 3" on my '16 STI Stage 1. I actually preferred the Invidia Q300. Both cars had stock header setups. The sound on this car now is definitely amazing. I will be dreaming about it.
Although I prefer to be a bit quieted down for daily(resonators for in cab drone) and not the one the cops look at, it sounds great and all that matters is you like it.
Damn this sounds freaking good!!! I have a stock 21 STI right now, but looking to get an exhaust that wont void warranty, then CAI with pro tune. Any suggestions if you could do it all over again??
So how would you rate your setups from your favorite to least favorite? I’m only running muffler deletes and am eying the Cobb titanium or awe touring. Just looking for feedback since you had them both.
Is your car wrapped? I wash mine every week or even more often and I cannot get it as shiny as yours is lol. It looks flawless! What do you think of the Borla exhaust? I have a full stock sti, with only cosmetic modifications.
@@Autofreakgarage well your car is gorgeous, not sure if you did a care video of how u take care of it, but if you haven’t would love to see the routine! Love your content! Edit; nvm found the video!
I know this is an old video but I was just wondering how you got your third brake light to turn on only when you break. I don’t really want it to be on when my headlights turn on. I just want it to flash only when I brake even if my lights are on at night
That is insane lol. Just got tuned with gs v2 j pipe and have awe track and it sounds so good! Almost bought the mufflers but I think it toned down a little now so I’ll keep track🤣..also looking at GS headers and if they will add any more sound or benefits
A bit, but it’s not completely gone. When you are at the point of where my car is, it’s bound to have some. But overall, it’s not as bad as you’d think.
Hey bro any chance you have a link to where u got the cover on the little knob to change into sport sharp ? I saw it a few vids back can’t seem to find it
@@Autofreakgarage ahh ok thanks bro , btw love the sti saw ur vids a few months ago during my breaks at work and just thought how crazy it would be to own an sti .. just got my 16 sti months ago and been watching ur videos nonstop recently keep it up bro
Depends on what you are going for in regards to volume. Something a bit louder than stock, Cobb titanium. Much louder than stock, ets or tomei if you want a single exit.
Not just you. You are very right. The tomei sounded good but at certain rpm range, the tone would go out the window and sound unrefined. The ets brought that back and make it sound even better. Definitely sold on the ets. My favorite setup thus far.
Mufflers wouldn’t tame the rasp down much. It would bring the volume down, but that specific rasp that you hear is just from going to EL. It’s just the nature of the motor and displacement. Comparing to my previous setup with the tomei, the rasp is almost non existent.
@@Autofreakgarage hmm, that’s unfortunate. Guess I’ll be staying UEL for my exhaust setup in the future and just do a catted downpipe with my current q300.
Tomei has a much higher pitch, tinny sound due to it being titanium. Ets is stainless which doesn’t produce that same howly sound. Ets is far deeper and has the least amount of rasp out of every setup I’ve ran. It brings back a lot of the rumble when going to equal length.
It definitely doesn’t sound like 413 hp sounds like about 615….
Best comment so far

Thank you! I’d have to agree to all said points haha.
With the equal length headers. I can still definitely hear the rumble! Ej always has a unique sound for a 4 cylinder.
You are absolutely right! People don’t realize it’s still there. Only when you are wot is where the el sound comes out.

Same for me. Does yours randomly vibrate at times (sounds like a clamp or something) when revs are coming down toward stoplights and such?
The Echos in the distance.... Nuts. Love it.
I love the deeper tone of this exhaust, I’m currently running the Cobb, but gonna make the switch
Love this thing so freaking much.
Thanks brother. You’re making me want a new brz haha.
Wow I’m sold on this exhaust. Currently running awe track edition but been looking for something different I think I just found it. Great vid!
The video we all been waiting for!
The level of rumble is nutzzzz 🔥🔥🔥
Glad people are realizing there is still an audible rumble with el headers.
Love the setup, I’m ELH, ewg with catless dp and straight pipe to greedy SPs…. The EWG sounds savage AF!
Finally..been waiting for this video forever
That sounds so freaking gnarly
God that sounds lovely🤤🤤 told you man ETS is the way!!

Super clean Sti! That EWG sounds so mean.
Sound aggressive, and am liking the echoes in the sound clips👍🏼
wow.. this exhaust is the one!!
Damn that sounds great, al lot less rasp and sounds closer to an uel manifold. I like it man, sounds close to my 07 wrx with a tomie. Very nice
Loving the exhaust, just picked up the new grimmspeed bpv and loving that too.
Watching this video the ets won me over and I’m waiting for it to be shipped now 😂
Good choice!
Sounds awesome. Here in NorCal you'd have every Karen and CHP looking for you.
Lmaooo
Told you ! The absolute best
Although I prefer to be a bit quieted down for daily(resonators for in cab drone) and not the one the cops look at, it sounds great and all that matters is you like it.
I like it man I just think the Awe Track was a little deeper but it may sound different in person. Definitely this is louder.
Awe track had a higher pitch. Ets is deeper overall.
Much luv Jersey. Don’t sell out, long term genius like wu tang.
Sounds soo amazing 😍
hmmmm.. holy shit man ! The sound is just amazing
Sounds great! Like a baby godzilla lol
i dont hv a va sti but a gr hatch and switched from tomei to agency power exhaust. just love the quad tips
Sounds Epic!! 😱
I believe everyone loves your car
Music for the ears!
Damn this sounds freaking good!!! I have a stock 21 STI right now, but looking to get an exhaust that wont void warranty, then CAI with pro tune. Any suggestions if you could do it all over again??
This was my favorite setup on the car. Highly recommend the ets.
My cobb bell mouth downpipe doesn't pop my ets exhaust. Before I have invida jpipe and I enjoy it
So how would you rate your setups from your favorite to least favorite? I’m only running muffler deletes and am eying the Cobb titanium or awe touring. Just looking for feedback since you had them both.
ETS, tomei, awe track, Cobb titanium, delta motorworks, awe touring.
Is your car wrapped? I wash mine every week or even more often and I cannot get it as shiny as yours is lol. It looks flawless!
What do you think of the Borla exhaust? I have a full stock sti, with only cosmetic modifications.
No it’s factory lapis blue paint.
Never tried the borla so I don’t have an opinion on it.

Did you also get a new camera lens? Looks great
Went back to an iPhone. More convenient for me and overall the quality is pretty on par with my Sony I’ve been using.

Car goes AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Is the resonator helping with drone? Or do you still hear some ? Thank you!
A bit, but it’s not completely gone. When you are at the point of where my car is, it’s bound to have some. But overall, it’s not as bad as you’d think.
would you say this is slightly louder, slightly quieter, or equal to the tomei?
Around the same volume. Tomei is higher pitched where the ets is a bit deeper.
With these not having mufflers would I run into passing emission issues down the line? New to the game.
Mufflers don’t have anything to do with emissions. The cats are what you need to leave on to remain emission compliant.
What are the 3 gauges you have in the middle. Did you modify it? I have a 2017 wrx but my gauges look different. I have oil temp, mpg and boost.
STI and Wrx mfd displays are different. I have boost, mpg, and trip
Hey bro any chance you have a link to where u got the cover on the little knob to change into sport sharp ? I saw it a few vids back can’t seem to find it
It’s from Perrin. Unfortunately, they no longer make them.
@@Autofreakgarage ahh ok thanks bro , btw love the sti saw ur vids a few months ago during my breaks at work and just thought how crazy it would be to own an sti .. just got my 16 sti months ago and been watching ur videos nonstop recently keep it up bro
Appreciate the support!
How bad would you say it drones when just cruising around/highway driving? I'm considering this setup myself but if it's unbearable drone then idk...
It drones a bit but it’s not unbearable.
Just sold my tomei and literally just ordered the same exhaust
Good choice 👍🏻
Did you buy the exhaust with the optional resonator or no?
Yes
Are you using any throttle controllers to sharpen your throttle response ?
It’s protuned and always run in s#
Will a stock STI sound similar or will it be different because of the mods you have in your car?
Completely different. The headers change the sound alone.
@@Autofreakgarage out of all the Exhausts you've had, which do you recommend for Stock?
Depends on what you are going for in regards to volume. Something a bit louder than stock, Cobb titanium. Much louder than stock, ets or tomei if you want a single exit.
@@Autofreakgarage Something with a Deep Rumble, I'm not really a high pitch kind of person.
What brand of wheels are they?
Try the Remark R1 stainless steel midpipe with titanium muffler
I think I’ve hit my quota for titanium exhausts. I prefer the sound of stainless setups on my setup.
Do you shoot flames with this setup? Or even with the AWE track
No flames due to having a cat
Going 88 mph in a shopping mall parking lot I know I've seen this before... if you see Marty & Doc tell 'em Hi!
I don’t know how…..but they found me.
How is the drone on this one?
Not bad at all. My tomei setup droned more than this
Sounds hella mean dude! FYI, you missed a ✌🏼 at 9:48
Haha I waved my left hand out the window. Didn’t miss it ✌🏻
@@Autofreakgarage Atta boy!
we needed a caution for our beloved headphone users but oh man did i enjoy the ear rape cold start
Haha my apologies. Just trying make you feel like you are right there with me.
@@Autofreakgarage and I love it !!!!
Random question what wheels and tire specs
th-cam.com/video/PqaG5X3JFxU/w-d-xo.html
Hey guys have a 2017 wrx sti. Just bought it and I got a code P000D some of friends say it’s a lost cause. It’s say bank 2 camshaft slow response
Wow is it me or the ets sounds way more refined then the Tomei hope your sold on this exhaust 😂
Not just you. You are very right. The tomei sounded good but at certain rpm range, the tone would go out the window and sound unrefined. The ets brought that back and make it sound even better. Definitely sold on the ets. My favorite setup thus far.
What do you monitor on your ap?
th-cam.com/video/3fKMkpn8SGk/w-d-xo.html
Bro we got similair setups, do your neighbors complain?
My neighbors don’t bother me about it
I want that sound
I didn’t think anyone would tune a EWG through a AP anymore
Is this resonated or non resonated
Resonated midpipe
@@Autofreakgarage and is there anything else u have on it to make the exhaust sound like that
Yes. El headers, Downpipe, ewg. Turbo up pipe. Turbo. Lots was done to achieve that sound.
@@Autofreakgarage what kind of downpipe, sorry but I just love the sound
th-cam.com/video/XMw2c-SymgE/w-d-xo.html
Surprised you've never had an invidia
Very requested exhaust. Just don’t think it meets my criteria overall.
@@Autofreakgarage I have the n1 on my 05 sti. In my opinion it's very deep at idle and kinda raspy on throttle
Monn this is loud 🔊📢 wish I could hear it in real time
You not have problems doing inspection with the windows tint
We are an emission only state
I could be the minority, but it’s much too raspy sounding for my tastes. Mufflers are definitely needed.
Mufflers wouldn’t tame the rasp down much. It would bring the volume down, but that specific rasp that you hear is just from going to EL. It’s just the nature of the motor and displacement. Comparing to my previous setup with the tomei, the rasp is almost non existent.

@@totaleclipse05 stay UEL increases the chance of detonation and Cyl 4 Misfire issues apparently
Same
@@STIejRA I am not high horsepower so that’s not much of a worry for me, it’s my highway commuter.
first!
Sounds super raspy. Tomei is far superior in my opinion
If you think this is raspy, tomei has 99.9% more rasp.
@@Autofreakgarage really? Tomei always sounded super deep to me
Tomei has a much higher pitch, tinny sound due to it being titanium. Ets is stainless which doesn’t produce that same howly sound. Ets is far deeper and has the least amount of rasp out of every setup I’ve ran. It brings back a lot of the rumble when going to equal length.
@@Autofreakgarage hmmmm I guess we’re hearing diff things! The ETS in no way sounds bad and I’m glad you dig it tho!!
