Car mods for my Subaru Impreza 2023 🚗 Why I would do these 6 Mods first

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ธ.ค. 2022
- This is my brand new Subaru Impreza 2023. It's the first time I bought a brand new car since 2006 when I got the Scion xA. I still have my Scion but I needed something more reliable and safe becuase I have a baby on the way 😳
But if you know me I can not leave the car stock, so here is a list of my first 6 mods that I have done to the Subaru Impreza 2023 hatchback.

Love the car man just bought a 2019 model myself with the 5 speed manual i have a interior kit look up that you would love
@@juan122ad Thats great to hear. yes I was excited to find out that I could pre mod shop for this car since 2017-2023 have all the same parts.
is your kit like a vinyl overlay kit ??
Yea i got it from amazon they have a carbon fiber kit thats a plastic overlay for the vents and they have some colored ones for the top vents that i got as well even for the steering wheel
Can you fix mines 😂
Niceee !!
Beautiful Impreza Mate!
Nice to see someone make some good content for the Gen 5 Imprezas. Video is simple and easy to follow.
Thanks my guy!!!!
I don’t usually comment but genuinely enjoyed the video. It reminds me a lot of the early days of automotive TH-camrs before it got too flashy and about clout. Keep it up!
Glad you enjoyed it! I have been on youtube for over 12 years now so I totally hear you. I have a ton of videos of me building my super mario kart car as well if you wanted to check those out.
New Subaru videos will be in the coming months
Looks nice Russ. I like clean design and subtle mods. The decal is perfect. You chose wisely so far. Maybe tap into more rally stuff that Subaru is known for.
Thanks so much for watching. Yeah I started a bookmark list with some other mods I would like to do in the future. Maybe one of those ram bar things on the front and some big fog lights
Impreza looks awesome, I like the mods you picked very nice job.
Thank you so much. Much appreciated . I just got my custom Vanity plates in today too. Can;t wait to do some more mods to this thing
Nice choice, Russ! I have a 2015 “Blue Pearl” Hatch and I’ve been in love ever since! Welcome to the Subie family!
Thats awesome, , I do dig the older body style as well. Really happy with how its turning out and I did drive it in a small snow storm the other day and it was good
This was dope...awesome work truly enjoyed 😊
much appreciated, glad you enjoyed the video. The car has been great so far, and hoping to do some more mods in the near future
ah man, this looks sick! I really envy the exhaust install. I wanted to mod my 2019 Impreza but I just can’t bc I’m broke, but I also am deathly afraid to touch the thing considering I had a panic attack being under the car doing my oil change 🤣 but hopefully I can get over that some day and have enough saved to do it. Also I’m up in Mass like 20 mins away from the CT border so it’s cool to see people around with modded Imprezas.
Heck yeah, glad you found the video. I certainly had fun getting it brand new and jumping right into modding. More to come for sure
Also in MA. Im in the market and the impreza seems like the most practical for the conditions up here though, Im very torn between this one and the mazda3 hatch awd turbo. The turbo would be more fun but the impreza jus seems made for this climate being a little more rugged.
@@likethislikethat916 I’m right there with you. I’ve been obsessed with the new Mazda hatch. It’s such a well designed car. I’ve never driven it before so I can’t really say as much to how it is in the winter, but they have AWD so I’d assume it’ll handle. It’s just whether or not you’d want the turbo at that point
This was awesome, love the DK barrel
Thanks for the love! The DK barrel is always a highlight for me too! You should see my other car lol It's a Mario kart theme
When you rev the engine, I noticed a little blue smoke from the exhaust. Guess it still breaking in.
Well the car was less than a week old and we put the new exhaust on and test drove it within 5 mins soooo, yes it was still breaking in for sure
I have a 2020 base model but want the fog lights and sport rims first. That exhaust is my favorite mod. Can’t wait to install them.
yeah the fog lights help set it off. I really like the yellow bulbs and film so they really pop.
The upgraded rims help too with the overall look of the car.
I'm really liking the exhaust for the look and it sounds great. Yes it is loud but you could always spend a bit more and get the ones with the 5 mufflers to ton down the sound
Awesome! I really like the roof basket.
thank you so much. More mods to come
Love those Nameless'! Got the cat back mid pipe & mufflers for the OBW... no regrets
yeah I watched a few comparison videos and thought they sounded great. I was looking at the quad tip with the 5" muffles but it was $200 more, so I was like No mufflers it is 😂
Bring your car into my autoshop in GTA V Online. I'll hook you up with bullet proof wheels, neon lights under the car. 100% armor. Turbo, EMS Upgrade. And the back to shoot out banana peels, & the front to shoot out Koopa Shells.
O wow you can do all that in GTA V. I never played any of those games. Seen some gameplay. Thats cool you can customize cars in there
@@RussLyman except for the banana peels and koopa shells. I made that part up. But there is a flying car you can get that looks like the Back to the future car. I play old school games & new games. I just got a Japanese Super Famicom game You should paint your new car with the original NES The LEgend of Zelda Overworld Map. It will look sick, In a Good way.
Looks and sounds great!
Thanks so much Andy
I just got a 2019 and my car is a reflection of yours without the front lip 😂 also I got a single exhaust nameless but the sticker is point on . Lift and tires for mine coming up next though . Hope to see more from your build !
Nameless certainly makes some great exhaust systems. O man lift and tires, Nice. Almost going for that Rally look.
Yes I'm hoping to get the side skirts on, and order a few new parts with spring coming up
Very impressive Sir. I just bought an 2021 sport hatchback in manual transmission about an month ago. I really envy your moon roof. I'm on an super tight budget so this far, two carbon flip up guard switches (made for the ignition button) which I put on the radio buttons LoL, Cross bar rack, rear and side window louvers and screens for the inside for the windows (tinting is so expensive & illegal to do it yourself in Alabama) I'm going to apply headlight tint to the LED lower lights, a Decepticon flip up guard button for the actual ignition, foot lighting, El wire, and an solar power trickle charger for my dash, deep blue overhead entry light. I did also order an 10x10 pop up car tent to keep from having to park under my "very" sappy trees. Bumper guards, door step in guards. Thanks for sharing I will have to try some of your ideas. Also I have an Decepticon logo for the front & rear grill Subaru logo, and an Decepticon flip up guard button for the actual ignition. Love your luggage rack and your exhaust, sounds great. 🏹🤠👍
I was debating on getting the manual or the sports model, but since this will be the "Family Car" I was find with the premium, but yes I had to have the sun roof and roof rails ha.
Yes I was thinking about adding some tints, but you do have to check local laws on that
OOOO good call on the pop up tent, you dont want to have to deal with getting sap off the nice new paint.
Nice decepticon logo sounds cool. Are you excited for the new movie ??
@@RussLyman I saw beast wars as an kid so I might actually go catch it. I did just add an Decepticon flip up guard for the engine start button. I'm going to pull off the lower black trim around the running light and paint the bumper section in matt black to match the cover. Then using silver grey tape I will highlight those two lower ribs. Before reinstalling though I'm going to overlay the LED light and make it look like an real fog light. Then on the upper grill I'll add some more silver grey tape to some grill ribs, topped off with my Decepticon overlay to cover the Subaru emblem. Eventually I'll do some pinstripes too. Oh almost forgot, I did just add those door ground "Decepticon" light logo that I got from eBay to both doors. It looks really cool. 🏹🤠👍
mods i've done;
1.5"F + 1&7/8"R lift, and some larger 215/65 102H tires.
I didnt think the reduced ground clearance on this model would matter, but found myself bottoming out on the smallest speed bumps, drainage ditches, dirt roads were nightmarish.
Since installing these two mods I have not once bottomed out on any of the three things I mentioned in the last scentence.
I was almost going to get lower springs or coil overs since I do like the low look. But than I don't like scrapping going out of driveways or speed bumps. And this is the "Family Car" My other car is already low. So I settled with the Lip to help add some low
What brand tires?
Hi fellow Connecticut person! Appreciate the video 👍
Dude heck yeah. So Far the car is running great. I haven't been able to ad anything to it lately, but new mods definitely coming in the future. Maybe you'll see it causing around
Like the exhaust!
much appreciated. I really enjoy the Nameless brand. I would definitely recommend. It is a bit loud without the mufflers but the one with the two 5" mufflers was $200 more, sooooo wanted to save money
Great video! Provides a lot of food for thought. I’m still waiting for the dealer to get my ‘23 Impreza in before I can get cracking my self. I look forward to the possibility of a part 2!
Thank you so much. Dude I was so ready to go I had to wait a month till mine came in. They were all being shipped in. I really wanted the White with the Black interior. So I had to wait a little bit more.
There will definitely be a part 2. I have to see if I want those side skirts on, looking to get a rear diffuser to make the back look more aggressive with that awesome exhaust.
It may be a while thought because I just had a baby so busy with that ha.
@@RussLyman Congrats on the baby and I look forward to it! I’ve got two or so weeks to wait for the Ocean Blue but shouldn’t be too much longer.
@@robogoku thank you so much. Now the real challenge will be to find time to work/film the mods with the baby ha
XD I just ordered an Impreza Base a few weeks ago. First upgrade will be the dreaded sway bar install.
@@jacobrzeszewski6527 hope you either got it or don’t have to wait too much longer!
Thank you! I love watching you doing these mods. Does the low ground clearance bother you?
thanks so much for watching. So the front lip does have two chips out of it currently 😂 but what are you going to do ha. I like the look of it and just try to be mindful on taking hills and driveways at angles
sick video!
Appreciate it! thanks for watching
Looks good 👍
thanks so much
I got a 2023 base model and I love the quad tip exhaust, was looking at Nameless's site and I'm heavily considering going for it
I definitely enjoy mine and think it looks and sounds great. It is a bit loud on the highway but it was like $300 more for the one with the 5" mufflers that would help quite it more, so loud it is.
I say go for it
@@RussLyman The state I live in requires mufflers and I'm tryna not get in trouble so I don't have much of a choice there.
@@jash274 ahhh I hear you. Then you'll just have to get that pricer one. It will sound epic though and install wasn't too bad with a buddy
I bought a white 2022 Premium last year. I got the rain guards, weather tech floor mats, Armor Guard mud flaps, the roof bars and I went with the Nameless muffled quad tip ( Love this exhaust ). A cold air intake, and I license plate relocation kit. I really like the look of the front sliter! I might have to get that next!
And I did the Black with Red badges.
Dude sounds like a great mod list. I'm really loving the nameless exhaust. I just added a rear diffuser (video coming soon) and I had a license plate relocation kit in my to buy list
Hey I'm curious did adding the exaust screw with your warranty at all. Looking to do something similar but don't want to outright void my warranty
When you get to interior mods, look at the Billetworkz CVT adapter (so you can put pretty much any shift knob on your CVT shifter), and a steering wheel cover from East Detailing. For handling, your best start is aftermarket wheels (look at 18x8 +35, with 225/40-18 tires), a front strut tower brace (Nameless makes one), and a heavier rear sway bar (Megan Racing). The rear sway bar install will involve dropping the rear end, so maybe more than you want to do curbside. But the front strut tower brace goes on in minutes.
Thanks so much for checking the video out. I did end up getting that Billetworkz CVT adapter. I love it. My friend gave me a really nice white shift knob too.
Thanks for the other suggestions. I'll add them to my bookmark page for the future.
I did just add a rear diffuser and did a video. It came out awesome
👉 th-cam.com/video/WjmjMHM9meE/w-d-xo.html
Love how it came out! I'm from CT too haha
Awesome! Thank you! I'm hoping to get it to some car meets this year so maybe you will see it. I do have my other car its a Scion xA Mario Kart edition
@@RussLyman nice! If you see an all black 370z with an awoo sticker on the back that is me lol. Come to think of it I think I saw that xA at either the CCSU or UConn show
Yes have brought the Scion to both those shows and made videos on the channel too
Just got a 2018 Subaru Impreza sport myself.. love your exhaust. Would you happen to know with that exhaust, would it void the warranty.. or because it’s from CAT back, it will be fine
Hey Kim thanks for the comment. Nice 2018 so all your parts will fit mine as well. From what I was told at the dealership it is still covered under warranty, but they wouldn't cover the after market exhaust itself.
So glad I came across your channel! I have an identical 2022. I tinted the windows, Vent Visors, crossbars, and a Thule cargo topper. I'm digging the front lip, good call on leaving the side skirts off... personal preference. Few questions.... How are the fog light's at night with the yellow on them? and in the snow? I've been looking at the Nameless exhaust also, but does it have drone at highway speeds? I think I'm leaning toward the kit with the 5" mufflers. Great video!
Hey Lance thanks for the comment I believe we have been chatting on instagram, but wanted to respond anyways. Glad you are digging the car so far. The Fog lights have been good I have been meaning to order the yellow bulbs as well to get them fully yellow. It hasn't snowed much here in CT to answer that yet.
The Nameless exhaust does have some loud drone sounds on the highway for sure. My friend also has the same car and exhaust and he said he did some sound deadening in the hatch area to help muffle that sound.
I probably would have gotten the one with the 5" mufflers but it was $200 more
Hey Russ great vid! Have you found any yellow bulbs for the fog lights?
@@imsonahe09 sorry Ryan I just seen this comment. I bought some on eBay that work great
www.ebay.com/itm/274470243462
Nice sound! I have Impreza 2017 with CVT. Your is manual or CVT too?
thanks so much, glad you dig it. Yes mine is a CVT as well. My other car was standard and this was more for a family car so I didnt want a manual.
Hey love the content. Any idea where I could buy roof rails that came with you impreza? I bought a base model but wish I would of went for the premium or sport regardless been trying to find roof rails for it.
Hey thanks so much. Yeah when I was looking online and when I got to the dealership the main thing I wanted was the roof rails and a moon roof. I mean you could definitely go through the dealership to get them.

It seems they are going for $218 for one so might cost you around $500 after shipping
Love it! I've got the 2020 with similar mods. There's not much for these at all. You've just about done everything I can find unless you want to lower it.
Thanks so much for checking out the video Daniel. Yeah I was excited I was getting a brand new car, and when I learned the 2017-2023 share the same body style, I could start planning what mods I wanted to get.
I have a bookmark with a few other things I want to do so hopefully there will be some future videos. I did plan on lowering it, but with the front lip on there and possibility of me adding the side skirts I might not need it
@@RussLyman I was considering the Billetworkz CVT adaptor and their Sphere shift knob but it is kind of pricey. Have you considered or seen the Forged Carbon Paddle Shifters by Aramaguard that are illuminous? I am about to order these for my 2018 Impreza
@@brendan6093 i have not seen those yet. I had just found the CVT Adaptor and went with that one
@@RussLyman what CVT adaptor is it? Can you provide link.
@@brendan6093 this one here billetworkz.com/collections/subaru-auto-cvt/products/subaru-auto-cvt-adaptor
nameless exhaust was the best choice mod on this list 100%
I am certainly loving that exhaust. It sounds great. I may try to sound deaden the trunk a bit just to cut on the droning on the highway
Had the 5 in muffler on my 2020 sport sedan. Could only stand it a couple weeks at a time. The drone was god awful at highway speeds. Traded in for 24 rs and afraid to pull the pin on nameless again.
Cool! Are you going all out with it like the Mario car??
Do you know a way how to remove the two metal pieces next to the emblem? The mustache as I call it?
Hey mate Subaru themselves sell the grill without the moustache, but I dareseay you can get an aftermarket grill for much cheaper....
Does the exhaust get droney when u drive? I have a 2012 Impreza sport and wanting it to sound more sporty
It does get pretty drone unfortunately, but it's mostly on the highway. I want to add some sound deadening in the trunk to help with that.
But overall I still like it
Would the exhaust work on the 2019 Subaru impreza sedan as well? Or just the hatchback you think?
on the Nameless site they have an option to select the sedan, but it looks like the quad tip isn't on there. So I can't say if you just order the quad tip and try it, that it will fit. Maybe it doesn't have the hangers in the places to support it
great for mpg for sure
Definitely! I'm getting better mileage than my Scion xA with this one. It has a little gauge you can use as well to help improve the mileage with how you are driving
Hello friend, I bought the exhaust but my 2017’s bolts are way too tight, when calling a performance shop to install it it costs about 150$ that’s way too much what should I do to get those bolts off….
Hey thanks for checking out the video. I would recommend using some WD40 or Liquid Wrench, Blaster.
Any of those products you can spray on the bottles and let them soak some.
you could also try using a torque wrench since it has a larger bar to get more torque on the bolts, or an impact gun
Where did you get the exhaust?!!?! It’s a beaut
it is from nameless, thats the company. It is the quad tip no muffler one
How did you go about putting on the fog light covers? I'm trying to figure out how to do this on my impreza!
i had to lay on the ground and reach up into the bumper to with a screw driver to unscrew the fog light assemble. I then added yellow tint film to it. I made a video here
👉 th-cam.com/video/LTKnM8rv8uA/w-d-xo.html
than just re installed the same way. The car came with the fog lights already. So if you do not have any fog lights currently there might be a few more steps. Hope this helps some
Thanks for the fast reply!
Did you need to buy the exhaust hanger bushings that the offer when you add it to the cart? As well as the bushing removal tool? Trying to see if I need to spend the extra money on them or not
All I bought was the exhaust itself not extra parts. The car was only a week old though so getting the bushings off was pretty easy. You might need to add some WD40 to them and get in there with like a screw driver to pry them off.
@@RussLyman thank you! I just got my Impreza about a month ago so I was just wanting to know what I’d need to upgrade the exhaust
I’m conflicted on getting this car because I know it’s not fast but I want one because of the cargo space and the aesthetics
I hear you, you can get the new WRX 2024 for more speed, but again not sure how much space you are willing to sacrifice for the speed.
I had this for a year now and added a few more mods and really enjoying it right now. I got it because my daughter was born and needed a more "family car"
Hi so I just got my Subaru Impreza 2023 sport, when I go to subimods, the exhaust isn’t confirmed yet to fit 2023, did u have any problems installing
As far as my researched showed anything that will fit a Subaru Impreza from 2017-2023 will fit the car. I had no issues with my exhaust but I got mine from Nameless, not subimods
I have a 2020 touring, I did the yellow fog lights with led headlights , rally armour mudflaps , license plate relocate , I had a nameless exhaust but I found it drone way to much on the hwy ,
Yes I need to order the led headlights, what brand did you go with? I also would like to get the yellow fog lights so they are more vibrant yellow.
The nameless exhaust is definitely droning on the highway. Future video idea, I might sound deaden my hatch area to try and soften the sound
@@RussLyman Amazon I got sea light for 50$ CAD and the high beam I paid 150 because I bought a brand name one because you need the cam bus resistor so the lights don’t flicker, I seen borla has a exhaust but it’s almost 700$ so I’m going to hold off on that for a while next is the roof rack like you have, also Amazon sells carbon fibre trim pieces for the vent and center hvac controls
I have a 2017 Impreza premium but I legit don’t have any line of the premium features and I’m very confused by it
o interesting. Unless they switched something from then to now with ordering. He had two models coming in with "Premium features" but they were also different so it might depend on the package. I told him I definitely wanted the sunroof and roof rails
Looking good. Hope you still have the Mario kart.
thanks so much. The M Kart is currently broke. I brought it to David's Dads garage for the winter and he is going to work on it, since I don't need it currently. I'll do an update video soon
Have you owned a WRX and if so, would you prefer this hatch over the WRX? I currently own a 2020 WRX and I always wanted a subi hatch but I hate that there is no longer stick shift available, but Subaru keeps pelting me with notices to trade up my vehicle. I wonder if these damn automatics is the future.....sadly...
Thanks for the comment Chris. I never owned a WRX, this is my first Subaru. I have seen the wagon WRX models but they stopped making them I couple of years ago, so that was not an option for a new car. My other car is standard (2005 Scion xA) so when getting this one I was ok with the automatic. This one does have the paddle shifters though, so I can still get a little bit out of it using those.
But yes I can see more companies making less and less standard models unfortunately
Can we get a vehicle video update please? I just got a Impreza and would like to see what the side skirts would look like. Thank you 🙏
Hy Matt thanks so much for watching and commenting. I will be doing a side skirt video shortly, but I am currently working on my other car, the Scion xA Mario Kart edition. So after that video is done I can get to another Subaru video.
Going to be ordering a rear diffuser as well
Always was a fan of the older Mazda rx 7 those s rotary engines mannn you can super those up
We watch a video on Mighty Car Mods where they checked out the Rx7 factory. So cool
I love my Impreza my one problem is not being able to find cool parts lol Pls update with the side skirt install
What year Impreza do you have? I will be working on the side skirts in the coming weeks. Going to have to make some type of bracket so it does not hide my mudflaps. It would be an easier instal if you did not have mudflaps
There’s plenty of wheels and suspension options for the platform now
Where did you buy exhaust I like that? mines tinted 5%
I got the exhaust from Nameless. They have an option with 2 5" mufflers as well incase you do not want it as loud
👉 shop.namelessperformance.com/axleback-exhaust-2017-impreza-wagon-muffler-delete-quad-exit-3-double-wall-tips/
I suggest that you install the K&N cold air intake.
It's been a year since I had the vehicle and yes I do think there needs to be some new mods on this car.
K&N cold air intake sounds simple enough, thanks for the suggestion
I installed the K&N cold air intake on my 2017 Subaru Impreza Sport, and it seemed to add more low-end torque. Also, it was easy to install.
Roof basket or roof box? I think the roof box looks a lot cooler.
yeah with the roof box it certainly looks more area dynamic. I did make a custom Blue Shell one from Mario Kart for my other car
👉th-cam.com/video/wj_N4bqSJ70/w-d-xo.html
I’d like to know how loud that exhaust is, I love the sound but I don’t want something overly loud. I just want a nice purr lol
It is quit loud. It does have a good drone sound in the car as well, so thinking about doing some sound deadening in the trunk area
@@RussLyman What Exhaust is best that isn't to loud and doesnt require sound deadening? it will also be for my 2018 Impreaza.
Me too 2018 Impreza and I feel the exhaust @RussLyman fitted will be to loud for my purpose and I am also after just a nice purr lol, how did you go finding that nice purr any advise?
something to increase power please, for mine, i did the crawford intake spacer(worth it), K&N CAI(NOT worth it), perrin pitch stop mount(worth it). but i still want more power for my slowburu impreza like a small turbo or a small super charger, enough to feel more power, but not enough to blow up the engine. also, my suspension sucks at absorbing dips, I also want suspensions but don't want to invest too much money into the suspensions.
thanks so much for the tips on what mods you think were worth it. So far I have a small list going mostly for handling like a sway bar ,Perrin Differential Lockdown System ,new rear control arm and few other.
But currently working out the look of the car first
Does the exhaust sound like a drone on the highway?
unfortunately yes it does have some droning on the highway
Nice job Russ! Do you still have the Mario Kart car?
Thanks so much Scott. I do have the Mario kart but it’s currently broken. It’s actually at David Apuzzo’s dads garage. So he can work on it
Do you know if that exhaust will fit a 2018 Impreza Hatch?
Yes this will fit, and parts from 2018-2023 will all fit the same
@@RussLyman that's convenient, glad to know that is the case cheers
Cool video, I will get the same vehicle by next year
Awesome glad you enjoyed it. Sweet what color did you decided on??
A wider tire to complete ur mods it will look more cooler 😎
Much appreciated with the feedback. I'm hoping to keep these as my winter Wheels/tires
Looking to maybe scoop up some WRX 2022 wheels. My friend who helped with the exhaust said those would look pretty good on this
2022 came and has almost gone and Russ is spending super high dollars on alot of stuff.... way to go rich man lol
Had some money saved up and I got to put less down on the car than anticipated so it went towards mods.
Figured this is it once the baby comes in a month, so might as well go all out
you forgot the most important thing of them all Russ is the baby seat.. lol
you are right ha. I have to pick it up still. It's at the wife's moms house ha. Next video
I’ve got a 2021 base hatchback. Got rally armor mud flaps, that same decal, larger 215/65/r16 all terrain tires, and got a 1” lift kit that I haven’t had installed yet. But that kit with the tires will give me an additional 2” of ground clearance. I also have a bumper bar that I’ll put an LED light bar on and add some ditch lights to the hood. Eventually I’ll get a roof rack and, if I can find some cheap, Crosstrek side skirts.
Dude it sounds like you are off to a great start for sure. I thought about getting bumper bar and a LED light bar for that.
I just added a rear bumper diffuser (video coming soon) and I need to install the side skirts I got from the front lip kit still
@@RussLyman I’m looking forward to seeing those side skirts. I couldn’t find any I liked yet so I just plasti-dipped mine. Not sure how much I like it though, but it’s easy to remove. Check out the nilight bar and lights. Really good price for them and very bright.
I got a 2023 Impreza Premium but mine doesn’t have the Sun Roof 😢
I think I mis spoke in the video. So Mine is a premium but I paid for a upgrade package that included the roof rails and sunroof for like $500
Love the lofi cowboy bebop
got to have those dope tunes
I just bought a 2023 Subaru Impreza . I liked some of the modifications, some were useless. Why the muffler? It's a 2L Boxer Engine. It's not a old Hemi that could roar!
Hi Linda thanks for checking the video out. Some of them are more for looks than performance. I put the muffler on because the stock one was too quiet for me, and this added 4 tips out the back so it gave the car a more aggressive look on the back end. I'll be adding a rear diffuser back there as well, so that gives it some fins on the bumper (again adding to the egressive look)
But yes this is the everyday car so I can not go to crazy with the mods, that is for my other car
I just got a 2017 Impreza premium. It does not have fog lights, sun roof or eyesight.
the Eyesight feature is definitely included in all newer models so maybe that wasn't standard for 2017. I know the body styles are the exact same so all parts will fit from 2017 to 2023. I think that was the focus I was trying to showcase.
I was able to order parts before getting the car because I knew they would fit
I learned the fog lights are wired. I just have to get the lights, relay and switch.
Will the exhaust void ur warranty?
Nope it will not. I kept the old exhaust as well just incase I need to put it back on
how loud is that exhaust for daily driving? i got 22 impreza premium, no sunroof tho
Ok I definitely missed informed everyone. Although mine is a premium I did get the "upgrade" so that comes with the sun roof and roof rack. It was already ordered and on the way to the dealership so I thought they all came with it.
On the exhaust, it certainly is loud at the cold start, than tames down some. With it being an automatic you it doesn't get too loud I'd say.
When you hit the highway though it does have some droning sound, so I may sound proof the hatch floor a bit
I had to get rid of my nameless 5”. The drone actually hurt my ears. Put the OEM muffler back after a week. I also upgraded to JL audio speakers and tweeters , so no more loud exhaust while enjoying music. However the exhaust sounds great on the outside
@@codyp96 thx for input, yeah I probably pass on it, got mud flaps, plan to put on gold rally rims for summer, rain deflectors, light with bar on the front and maybe tint a bit i think thats it . If along the way i need more cargo space i go with box on the roof.
@@codyp96 yeah I will definitely want to upgrade the speakers and add small sub somewhere
@@RussLyman Anyone know what size speakers these Impezas are fitter with Stock? I too have a setup in another car that I want to transfer to the Impreaza but am just unsure what sizes are fitted currently in the Impreza
do the exhaust affect the gas mileage?
thanks for the question. Unfortunately I have nothing to compare it to. I bought the car brand new and 15mins later I was putting this video together, so the exhaust was on the car in less than a day.
Anyways you could update the link for the quad exhaust
hmm odd it stopped working but here it is
👉 subimods.com/collections/2017-2022-impreza-exhaust/products/nameless-performance-axle-back-exhaust-2017-2022-impreza-wagon
@@RussLymando you believe this would fit a 2023? Thanks also for the link!
that is what this car is. Mine is a 2023 impreza so yes it will fit if yours is the same year. I show the instal towards the end of the video. Just a few bolts to unscrew @@kevinperez6190
@@RussLymanthank you so much!! Honestly. I just ordered them
Is the m cart gone?
No Gary but it is broken currently. I brought it to David Apuzzos Dad’s garage. He’s going to work on it the next few months. So I can bring it to events in the spring
That barrel must add at least 75 hp.
and it actually increase my gas mileage as well. It's a win win
What was that exhaust?
nameless is the company this is the quad tip no muffler version
what is the music? 6:22

do these fit impreza 2022 premium?
yes all these mods would fit the impreza 2017-2023. They have the same body style
So now its a Crosstreck without the cladding.
just got to put the lift kit on it
How reliable is the impreza you think easy 200k?
Well this is my first Subaru ever so its hard to say. My last car was a toyota (Scion xA) and its at 175k so I'm sure this Impreza can definitely hit 200k
@Russ Lyman yeah I like toyota, but subaru just is much better looking g and much more customizable . You can take an impreza and make it look like sti and slowly build it to be a really dope car. I'm gonna trade in my 2018 Jeep Wrangler with around 50k because it's only getting me 15 mpg, 18 mpg at most on highways... I would rather have an impreza and build it nice to look like a hatch back sti 🤣 😂 make it a everyday beast that will last and get you good mpg
It's kinda crazy they are giving used cars better warranties than for new ones.
When I went looking I went to Car Max and they had a 2016 Subaru Impreza that they wanted $23,000 for. I'm like I might as well go buy a brand new one
@@RussLyman 7 year/100k for a used Subaru
Anyone else cringe when he dumped the roof rack parts all over the pavement, and had his roof rack in the pavement? Lawn is right there! Nice car tho and mods!
lol whoops. I mean I would loose some of the screws in the grass ha.
I guess it was more for dramatic effect ha
There goes your gas
Milesge
yeah it probably went down, 🤷♂️ you should see my other car lol It's a Mario Kart car with a giant fiberglass Blue shell on the roof rack
👉 th-cam.com/video/xvV4Li9UI9I/w-d-xo.html
First mod..., trade it in for something without a cvt
that would't be too reliable for a family car 🤷♂
I already have a fully custom Scion xA Mario Kart edition that is standard, so I wanted something with less distractions while driving. Just put my foot down and drive
You should have got stick.
I was really debating it. My other car is standard, but I would have had to wait a few more months to get one that was standard, since the ones that were being shipped over were auto. I was getting this for the new born on the way as a family car, so figured I keep it simple with the auto.
I am happy that it has paddle shifting though
Man, you really don.t care your gas mileage then...
yeah It's more of a build for fun and grocery getter. With all my cars I never worry about the gas mileage. The other car has a giant fiberglass turtle shell ontop of it
👉 th-cam.com/video/xvV4Li9UI9I/w-d-xo.html
is this satire ?
well I guess it could be, depends how you look at it
Too loud
yeah it is quiet loud. The one that came with two 5" mufflers would definitely be quieter
@@RussLyman Hi. Russ. Did you notice any power increase with the axle back? I have a 2017 Premium with the same engine and no mods but I did feel more power after 1500 miles or so as the engine and driveline loosened up.
@@RussLymanwhat’s the difference between a muffler delete and and the 5’ muffler???
So the one I got is a straight pipe from the catalytic converter to the tips, making it louder.
The 5" muffler version would have 2 individual mufflers that are on the pipes before they connect to the pipe that goes to the catalytic converter. This would make the exhaust quieter because of that.
You can visually see it on their website as well.@@xxiii262
all the items I hate to see on a car and would remove, this dude added as "Mods".
People have different taste. So basically you would leave the car as is ??
Pretty sure a quad tip exhaust counts as a mod
@@RussLyman everything you added to the car makes it look tacky. I would remove all those items you added if I had bought your car used. also, the roof rack with the donkey Kong barrel is the lamest shit ever. Yes, I would keep the car stock. you didn't increase the utility of Subaru at all with those silly items. just reduced fuel economy and made your car look silly.
@@pardonthedank again people have different taste on what they think looks good. You my friend is what is wrong with the car community for sure. Putting others down for things they do to their car. I'm sure you drive a bone stock car and put nothing of yourself into it. 🤷♂ If you don't like it thats fine, no need to be rude. Move along, thanks for the view 😁👍
@@RussLyman you are what's wrong with humanity, judging people for not agreeing your taste.
@@pardonthedank Just Rude people like you. A respectable person would go, " Ehhh that builds not for me, but you do you"
Unlike yourself where you had to let it be known how bad my "mods" were and that they weren't even mods.
You must go to car meets and laugh at everyone that drives in with their car when they don't meet your standards as well
SMH. should of just bought either a WRX or a CROSSTREK. Instead of making that thing look like it's having an "identity" crisis.. LMAO... from a Front Aero kit to a rack system and shelf a basket to carry a keg. You're weighing that thing down ... enjoy burning more gas to keep that thing going.
I mean you can go that route with any car if weight is an concern. If I had a crosstrek its a larger car so weighs more and would use more gas. And they don't make a hatch WRX anymore unfortunately so I'd have to get a used one
the sticker, like a true denver native LUL
i thought it just fit with the brand. Actually I just went to Denver 4 months ago to visit friends too 😁
