Sounds good and looks good too… I’m now an STI owner and I’m definitely learning about the car more thanks to you bro. I have very similar ideas of what I would like to do with mine. Cheers!
It's funny, I don't really care for the AWE exhausts for the STI, but I think their FA20 exhausts sound really good. It's hard to judge loudness on a TH-cam video, but the tone is just about perfect!
AWE has different designs for their STI and WRX touring editions so that would make sense. The track edition is the same since there is no mufflers so at that point it just comes down to EJ vs FA exhaust notes
My 2020 STI that purchased in January this year had low miles and a muffler delete. I love it and I don't have to do anything. Subies I and a great video brother.
@Foster Johnson Media No problem brother. You are really turning that WRX into a great car. I can't wait to see your videos on all of the rust under the car. What coilovers should I put on my 2020 STI? What brand of coilovers? Thanks for being a wealth of information for all of us in the subie community.
@@OvernightCrew Ok I'm looking at the touring version to replace the ETS 'quiet' I have. Not sure if there will be any difference in sound between the two though.
I’m jealous you can get away with a muffler delete. In Commiefornia that’s just asking to be pulled over by local PD with nothing better to do. Sounds good without being that loud though! Until you tune it with that jpipe lol
I used to think a straight-pipe catback would be too loud for me, so I got an Invidia R400. I thought "this isn't so bad!" Then I wanted more power, so I got a downpipe, which really woke the sound up. Now I think "this isn't so bad!" I adjusted to a new normal. I also now think a straight-pipe catback is too quiet (for me) 💀 Regardless of what anyone has to say about it, I hope YOU like it, Foster!

Happy to hear I can help with your journey, enjoy the STI 🤙
Except any exhaust sounds good on an sti. FA20/24 just sounds busted with an exhaust on.

Car is coming together piece by piece, can't wait to see what she'll look like during the start of the track day season next year.
Thanks for watching all the videos!

sometimes a simple exhaust is the best answer like a muffler delete! Thanks for always watching my videos Paul

the wrx cab is surprisingly quiet even with the awe track unless you’re romping
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
I've had the AWE Track for most the year now, def my favorite exhaust. I was also lucky enough to of been able to pick it up used for $600
Any leaks? I heard they are prone to those due to the type of connectors.
@@xil3ntkha0s Not that i've noticed!
Wow $600 is a great price! So far no leaks with mine, you just have to made sure the clamps are tightened properly
@@OvernightCrew Ok I'm looking at the touring version to replace the ETS 'quiet' I have. Not sure if there will be any difference in sound between the two though.
@@xil3ntkha0s the touring is definitely quieter than the track if that’s what you mean? The track isn’t stupid loud though

Yeah I know it will probably be too loud once I do the j-pipe. But for now I’m enjoying it! Lol
Spotted you northbound on MLK this morning from a water works truck. Small world Iowa lol.
You live in Des Moines too?!
@@FosterJohnsonMedia aye! I looked over and I was like " I recognize that car!"

Wait until you get some headers.
Yup exactly, it’s the same with power. Most the time you just get used to it as your new “normal” and then its fun to switch it up!
Like it! Looking forward to the j pipe video and how much it helps your power
I’ve been putting it off because I know it’s going to be a miserable project…lmao!
Do you know anything about the ,afe exhaust?
not too much, the Takeda system seems nice but they are pretty rare so I've never seen one in person
Side skirts and rear diffuser please.😊
It’s like you read my mind!! coming real soon
at 5:17 idk if it is the camera angle or something but your rear wheel may have an indent? could be wrong though just looking out
🤫 yes one is dented. haha. I’m very impressed you noticed!
shoulda stuck with the awe touring, once you open up the rest of the exhaust, its gonna be way too raspy and loud
You are probably right! I did think about that but oh well I’ll give it a try
@@FosterJohnsonMedia and plus i think the awe touring has the best tone for wrx and sti, despite less volume
Very nice 👍
It’s no rumble, but I do really like the sound of the FA20DIT
Foster! Want to sell your old exhaust? I’m in Des Moines and can swing by and get it asap
Sorry just saw this, unfortunately I can’t sell it because it is not mine I was just borrowing it
How you feel bout kevin getting fired?
Gutted. He is one of my best friends. but the decision was not mine to make.
I’m probably the only person that likes the straight pipe sound on my wrx😬🤦🏽♂️
Loud and proud!
Cat delete
but I like cats, and dogs too! 😆
I guess rust proofing doesn’t exist in your part of town……..sucks to see her like that.
I unfortunately got the car after most of the damage had been done :-/ but my plan is to restore it the best I can
