- Here is an in depth guide on how to remove and install the downpipe on a 2018 STI. I'm sure the same steps apply to the 2015+ models. Stay tuned for my next video on the Grimm speed EBCS Install Guide :) If you enjoyed please hit that like button and subscribe to my channel so you don't miss a video! Thanks for watching.
My downpipe comes in today and I've just been browsing through videos to make sure I familiarize myself with the install and I have to say your video is by far the best on TH-cam. Good job man and thank you.
That means a lot to me man thank you 😊
@@BeeAboveAverage install went in without a hitch, thanks to your video. And my 12 year olds small hands helping me with the tmic turbo coupler. Haha.
Put them to work early 😆 Glad you got it done with no issues man 💪🏼
Yes I'm gna tackle this same set up on my 2014 .. your video just made it supper easy 👍🏼.. I was about to pay my mechanic to put em on 😂.. he said 125 he will put em on .. let me know if the install head ache worth it for $125
@@noxnyc23 if you have some mechanical skills, should be worth keeping the 125, just make sure you tighten the nuts and bolts around the bellmouth, then let the car warm, then re tighten the nuts and bolts. I did not do this and I lost a nut and bolt.
nice progress, i found it was much easier to tie down the worm gear clamps with an 8mm socket, easier than putting a screwdriver up in there.
Solid install video. Super helpful too. Thanks a bunch!
TheSuaveBOSS Thank you :)
This is by far the most clear downpipe install I’ve watch here on TH-cam! Good work man👍👍👍 I notice you didn’t install any downpipe heat shield?
I appreciate that my guy 🥲 The stock heat shield doesn’t fit with an aftermarket downpipe. You will need to cut some of the heat shield to be able to make it fit, but we just opted out of having it on at the time. Hope this helps!
Hey where in Washington are you? I'm down in the white salmon area. Thanks for the videos
@@tonaye6135 I live in Vancouver wa, near the border of Oregon.
Did your car throw any check engine lights after this install? And does it require tuning afterwards? Great video! Your set up has come a long way since this video.
I had a Cobb OTS tune I loaded onto the car right after the install and that eliminates the check engine light. But you do indeed need a tune for a downpipe especially if you are swapping it out for a catless one. I appreciate the feedback bro that car really has come a long way since this day, but it’s got a long way to go still ;)
Did you do any upgrades to the fuel system since you have an intake too? I have a 16 sti with a cobb intake, next week I'm putting on the cobb catted downpipe, then having a shop install ebcs and protune. They said I'll be fine, but I hear a lot of people saying it will run lean without the fuel upgrades. Any input is appreciated. Great video btw👍💪
Patrick Carr I’m currently running stage 2 without any fuel system upgrades yet... I max out my injectors sometimes at 105% if I’m really getting on it in cold weather.. and that’s no good. At the end of my IAG install video I give a showcase of the fuel systems upgrades I purchased and am getting ready to install to my car. These are essential. I only recommend going stage 2 if you are planning on doing fuel system in the near future. If you are stage 2 and no fuel system upgrades I’d just suggest driving conservative in cold weather and never really push your car too hard till you get that done to your car :) I hope that helps :)
@@BeeAboveAverage thanks man!
Patrick Carr you definitely want to upgrade the fuel system you car will be starving for fuel with both a down pipe and the Intake get the Cobb 1050xx fuel system package you’ll also put out more power with bigger injectors
Would this be the same on a 2014 Sti sedan? Love the video btw. Best one i've seen yet.
Thank you very much 😁It should be the same if not it’s very similar.
Nice video, thanks alot
Hiep Duong You are welcome 🙏
hey man! such a great content! all your videos are very imformative and very thorough. But anyway, did you install an after market heat shield by now? let us know!
I have not yet :( I will try to modify my current stock one to fit because I don't have much extra money ATM to buy one. I will in the future tho! :)
@@BeeAboveAverage hey, what modifiations did you have to do to get the stock one to fit ? How many bolts do not screw onto the stock downpipe ?
🔥 fire 🔥
I noticed on start up there was a sound that kinda sounded like a rattle snakes tail (the best way I could describe it) is that normal? Great video btw.
I had a heat shield rattle near the rear of the exhaust that I never noticed till later. I think the phone just picks it up better but In person the exhaust is louder so you can’t really here it rattle unless it’s a cold start or your sitting in a drive thru at idle. I ended up finding it a little bit after I filmed this video. And thank you I appreciate it :)
Jonathan Henry I looked down the entire exhaust and anywhere the heat shield looked too close I bent it away a bit. One place you can check on your car is the heat shield right in the center between your exhaust and driveshaft. Make sure it’s not too close to your drive shaft as when you are driving and changing the gears the driveshaft moves and makes contact with the heat shield. I’ve had that happen before and that was my solution :)
Do you have to tune after that?
Everything is stock on my engine except my exhaust I have a tomei exhaust and catless j pipe I was wondering why my car is pushing 24 psi is there a a way to lower my psi
Any gaskets used in-between turbo and downpipe?
Yes I used a new grimmspeed gasket when I installed :)
@@BeeAboveAverage Great, thanks. sounds good to
do you have the ots file for the catless downpipe?
Will the check engine light come on after installing this since you are removing a catalytic converter?
Yes I believe it would. I flashed a E-tune right after my install to avoid that problem.
@@BeeAboveAverage Legit. This is by far one of the easiest to follow. Did you go OTS or what tuner? I hear you can't go DP + Intake unless you upgrade injectors do to almost maxing out. Thoughts? I wanted the DP and Intake for sounds more but not possible??
Quick question will a downpipe for a WRX fit an STI?
Yes it would as long as it’s the ej motor wrx and STI. The downpipe in this video was taken off my 2013 wrx and swapped to my STI
Might be a noob question but is the o2 sensor tool required to remove it?
I would say so because it’s hard getting the o2 sensor out without it.
@@BeeAboveAverage I went ahead and bought one just in case. However I wasn’t able to finish my install today. I’m a disabled veteran and I tried getting this done today but my injuries got the best of me. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day. Great video though it was very helpful
I’m glad my video can be of some use to you, and thank you for your service!
Is the check engine came on ?
jameir evora It did not. I had a custom tune done to the car with the Cobb Access port. If you check out my video of my FPR install, at the end I show me tuning the car. That was all the same day I did this install. Hope that helps :)
Cool, so etune can delete the code?
jameir evora Yes exactly
Nice , appreciate it alot !!!
jameir evora You are welcome glad to help :)
11:19 big mistake not putting the heat shield back on. You’ll cook your clutch and brake fluid reservoirs.
The OEM heat shield does not fit with an aftermarket Downpipe without modification. I chose to leave it out while I sourced an aftermarket option.
Those fuckin heat shield bolts suck... I’m just happy yours aren’t rusted... have you thought about a turbo blanket and wrapping the downpipe
To bad the epa has screwed everyone.
