1. the 4th gen wrx/sti headlights dont fit in the 3rd gen which are better looking & easily upgradeable anyway. 2. cobb turbo shields arent oem & the oem turbo shields dont rattle. 3. the paint fade is 100% caused by owner neglect. 4. the stock radio sounds awesome in my base 13 wrx compared to my girlfriends limited 17 wrx, and you could've gotten a touch screen & nav deck if you chose the premium or limited! 5. the 5spd is awesome & whoops the sti in the 1320 cuz of gear ratios & less shifts, and the sti 6spd still revs to 3k in 6th at 70mph. drone will happen no matter which transmission you have with an aftermarket catback with resonator & muffler deletes! if you bought this sports sedan for road trips then leave the stock exhaust on it.
I got a 2013 wrx. I am the Og owner. I only have about 34k on it. For the price, it is a fun car. Not the fastest and for sure doesn't have the best interior but for the price a great driving experience. I have two other cars that my wife and I use as our daily. manual four-door sedans will come extinct before long. Going to keep the dub till the wheels fall off.
Thats the way to do it 🔥 I love it but once she’s paid off or at least have all of my negative out of it I’m definitely looking into some boosted American Muscle. Nothing in the immediate future but it’s a goal for me 👍
My paint has not faded from the hood scoop. I live in sunny phx and don't garage it because i have two other cars that are much more value. very strange to see that.
I had the head shield rattle. I also had an issue with fuel cuts. The latter turned out to be the TurboXS DP that came with the vehicle (my buddy sold me the ride). When I bought an Invidia DP, that actually solved both the fuel cuts AND head shield vibration issue. Turns out, the upper O2 bung on the DP was what caused the rattle. I don't think the stock heat shield had the issue.
@@DanDrivesYT I think I put up with it for like a year before I finally found out what was up! Since then, few more mods and enjoyment until recently. Sounds like I have a bearing going out in the engine. It's currently in the shop, getting that diagnosed. Have a Stage 2 block picked out for the likely rebuild. It's a fun car, not ready to give it up just yet!
@@bivensrk Definitely a great car modded or not. Such a sweet daily for me and it hasn’t failed me once so far. Definitely could get expensive when you’re trying to make some power but built the right way they are so sick!
That’s what I figured wasn’t too sure though. Not crazy familiar with the branding around Subaru but I’ve been learning. He had Cobb tips , a heat shield, and a shift knob just for looks.
@@DanDrivesYT yeah all Cobb parts would be aftermarket parts put on by the previous owner. Good mileage for how old it is though!!! You definitely take great care of your vehicles.
I’ve seen some people put a little metal block off plate to the bov which would send the charge back through the turbo to make the flutter noise. After I’ve been learning so much more about engines and forced induction systems at school this is definitely not something I would recommend. The Cobb SF intake actually makes the blowoff sound so much louder and with a tune it is definitely the way to go unless you have a custom tune done with an aftermarket external bov
I’d try to look for one with lower miles on it personally. Unless they have a record of all of the maintenance and upgrades done to it. If the clutch hasn’t been replaced in a while I’d try to steer clear of it (can get pricey and is a bit annoying to do) and also check for any check engine lights. I’d definitely check all fluids especially the oil to make sure there is no water in the oil. They are notorious for blowing head gaskets. As long as it runs smooth and everything checks out I feel it’d be a safe bet and make sure you’re getting a decent price. People do tend to beat on them.
I’d take a test drive in it and if everything drives and operates good I’d definitely take it up! Mine was a one owner 2013 with 76k miles on it and it’s a great car and still has a lot of life in it if you take care of it!
@@yammmit That’s what my price was too. I feel like it was worth it for that price though. She’s been holding up amazing and has been an absolute blast 💯

5:00 I enjoy the rattle it gives it character like how an older jeep charoke with a lot of miles screams like a bat when you start it up

Probably was just the cobb one that the owner before me installed on it then. Had to take it off though it bothered me so bad 😂

Is it just the Cobb heat shield or oem
@@ricastar2931 Cobb heat shield. But Cobb with *that* specific DP.
I will say as a 13 Wrx owner I wish the seats went up higher
I like the stock headlights even though I just got the circuit demon headlights lol
Love to see that you are cranking out more content. Would love to see the 85 Vette and what plans you still have for it!
The Vette will definitely be up on the channel shortly 🔥
hey bro just curious any issues with having the heat shield off? wanted to know if it caused any future problems now that its been two years thanks
Wrx is a lot of power for the money.
100% 👌
Bro idk how much you know about subies but no Cobb heat shield comes stock, any Cobb stuff that’s on the car was put on by the previous owner

@@Retrosimatt Thank you! I take a lot of pride in them and am super OCD with everything when it comes to them 😂
Brig that paint fade on the hood scoop legit happens to me all the tjme
cool vid!
Thank you!
Stock exhaust or did you put one in?
When I recorded this video it was stock exhaust but I’ve done a catback straight pipe since then 👍
What’s the stock bov hack?
I’ve seen some people put a little metal block off plate to the bov which would send the charge back through the turbo to make the flutter noise. After I’ve been learning so much more about engines and forced induction systems at school this is definitely not something I would recommend. The Cobb SF intake actually makes the blowoff sound so much louder and with a tune it is definitely the way to go unless you have a custom tune done with an aftermarket external bov
Yo wait what this is Salem
Yes it is!
Do any of y’all recommend buying one with 150k miles 2013? Should I be aware of certain things if I did? Thanks in advance.

I have the opportunity to buy a 2013 one owner fully stock 72k miles for 20thousand what do you think!?
I’d take a test drive in it and if everything drives and operates good I’d definitely take it up! Mine was a one owner 2013 with 76k miles on it and it’s a great car and still has a lot of life in it if you take care of it!
Mine was also a one owner, 74k miles. 20k seems a bit pricey though I paid $17,500 for mine.
@@yammmit That’s what my price was too. I feel like it was worth it for that price though. She’s been holding up amazing and has been an absolute blast 💯
I know this post is a little old, but literally just bought ‘13 75k miles for just shy of $20k
@@FenoTV how’s it treating you? Looking to buy one this week
Man.. you shift slower than my granny. No offense. Double shift if your going to go that slow between gears.
why?
