Is my 2018 Subaru WRX STI Type RA a BETTER performance car with an AWE exhaust?

- My WRX STI Type RA needed to get it's fluids changed, but I also waned to do something else. Subaru has always been known for the boxer engines and the STI is very unique because of the 2.5L turbocharged flat-4 that is under the hood. I decided after 5 years of ownership to change out the exhaust. Is my 2018 Subaru WRX STI Type RA a BETTER performance car with an AWE exhaust?

Best car review channel on RUclips.
Thanks for having my back.
Absolutely!! Joe too cool. I even watched a bunch of his old vids just because you tube recommended them 😎
He inspired me to give it a shot! Hopefully soon I can have access to some sweet rides like Joe.
Great to see the ra back on the channel.
@@EdWoodson.45that means the world
As a musician, I often close my eyes to evaluate sound. The Catback exhaust is a most worthy investment, Joe!
That is so fantastic!? Thanks for sharing that!
Your enthusiasm for the STI led me to test drive and later buy a 2021 STI model. Great car. I put an Invidia Q300 on mine.
I run the same exact exhaust on my 21 STI. Honestly the best exhaust system to really open up the car and give it that iconic sound! It really lets people know that a Subi is driving by.
Love hearing you talk/review cars...but LOVE seeing you talk about YOUR car!!
That is so fantastic!
Sick sick ride. My 21 wrx came with an STI performance exhaust and i have zero complaints, incredible sound and no highway drone.
I'm glad to see updates on the Raiti's Rides fleet, Joe! I hope we can see an update on Big Bertha soon, brother! 🙏
Thanks brother! You got it man!
Much love from Kenya. Your passion for cars is amazing. You are living my dreams man! You deserve the life you are living Joe 👏🤝
When that subie rumble hits the right spot 10:22
Joe has my dream garage. GT350R Heritage and a STI.
I’m grateful that I can share it with you
one of my favorite videos from you!!! love wrx's
I purchased a 2020 STI in October last year. Watched alot of your STI reviews, which steered me to finally pull the trigger! Love your video's 👍
Great choice Joe! I have the AWE touring on my 20 STi and it totally transformed the driving experience. With the touring I have no drone on the freeway and such a nice deep clean sound around town. It never gets old enjoy!
that is a wonderful car Joe. keep taking good care of it and the best of luck. 👍 I love it, great video Joe 💯
Hey Joe I love seeing you show your car collection. Please give us more of your car collection. I hope one day that you would show your mustang and the Camaro and the challenger all on one review that would be cool. Keep up the good work 😀
I will be getting that together Jeffery very soon
Nice choice, the AWE exhaust really brings out that signature subie rumble! I'm really glad you're still enjoying the STI!!
Looks and sounds great Joe
Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏
More sti content please you are great ❤
I’ve been running this same track exhaust on my 2020 STI for 3 years now! My only mod too and i still love those on ramp pulls. It’s a bit different sounding to other exhausts but sounds just as top tier. Downshifts are my favorite tho, it genuinely pops and bangs all on stock tune and everything else. I ran into the same issues with fitment but had an ‘it is what it is’ mentality. Other issues were some light bubbling watery sound on start up for a tiny bit. Not the only one as I’ve read on some forums and Reddit. I have this in socal btw and am able to drive by cops “quietly” at certain throttle and never been pulled over for it, for anyone who considers this awe track exhaust
That’s some great insight! Well done!
Love the sound. The rumble the whistle. Love it.
That Subie rumble.
Glad you shared your experience Joe. I've thought about updating the exhaust on my Type RA, but up here in the often cold northeast, the rumble when it's chilly to downright cold is so much better then when it's warm, that I've kept it stock. It's been a good run with it, bit it's coming up on time to sell.
Glad you still have it.
That sounds amazing for sure!
I thought Joe sold it 😮😮 he still has it 👍👌
She isn’t going anywhere
I still have mine Joe and stock exhaust also. And I will never sell it.
That sounds so good Joe! Love the Subi content, just picked up a 23 WRX Limited in WRB. Can't beat this color ❤
Addicted to the channel, seriously!
Awesome video. Your type RA is a beauty and it sounds fantastic with that new exhaust 👍
I bought a used 2021 STI about a year ago (thus fullfilling a dream that started in the mid 90's). I absolutelly love the car ❤ It's bone stock and I plan on keeping it that way, appart maybe from an exhaust for that legendary subie rumble.
Do you think the AWE Touring is similar to stock in terms of loudness ? The track one seems a bit too loud for me.
Thanks for your video and all your work !
It sounds sweet Joe 👌, I just had an eargasm 👍
Congratulations, you are a true enthusiast guy 👌🏽 and keep collecting Japanese cars 🇯🇵 see you in tokyo next year
Sounds really good Joe ❤
Cleannnn setup sounds great!
Love it!! Joe, are your personal cars this one,the Type R and the Mustang 350?
at least you’re puttin miles into the car😂😂😂 great car raiti! that car sounds amazing
I completely agree on the length on the tips. I purchased a MBRP exhaust and the tips stuck out way too far. Ended up cutting off 3/4 of in off the pipes to tuck the tips in. Sounds amazing! 😊
Sounds fantastic!!!
Got an AWE touring on my scatpack, best decision l’ve ever made since l did not wanna go with the basic straight pipe highschooler special, love the tone your impreza makes with the AWE
That’s a nice sound.. 🔥🔥🔥 aggressive and powerful.
This is awesome Joe. I just installed an axle back exhaust on my 2021 STi back in February and could not be happier with the sound. The best $300 I've ever spent. Otherwise it's all stock, and will remain that way. It's my daily driver and has 9600 miles and will remain low for the foreseeable future. Also in WR Blue.
I had the same issue with exhaust fitment for my invidia exhaust. Not all cars will have perfect fitment. The sound is pretty amazing. I would’ve went with Tomei for the sti for that classic jdm look. Thanks for another great video.
i like when you show old vehicles. i still have a car i bought a few years into my Army career a 1998 m3 and it was only a few years old and it had 34,000 miles and now has 140,000 something miles and have had it for 21 years now so i love seeing your personal cars. i play hysteria by Def Leppard and it might not the fastest thing on the road but it means alot to me. it sounded good before but it sounds perfect after. not too crazy and not too soft.
Sounds awesome Joe. I did an axelback, cold air intake and bypass valve upgrade on my '20 WRX and it brought the boxer engine to life.
That is so awesome man! I love the sounds of these cars!
My neighbor has the same car except in red. It would be a dream to own one someday.😍You have a nice Subie, Joe!
That is so wonderful to hear! You will get yours one day !
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video real true 👍
You are awesome my friend
Sounds super nice!
I appreciate you saying that
Yes of course & this is best used car to buy.
Very nice Joe !! On throttle Yeeaaahh !!
Heck yeah
A quality track exhaust paired with an external wastegate on an STI is my absolute favorite
Now we are talking
Damn that sounds amazing bro
That is so awesome of you to say!
LOVE your Subie!! I'm getting my brothers 2002 bug eye subaru in blue like yours. Clean with rpf1s wheels :D
Oh man that is awesome!
I kind of want a Subaru sti as my daily now 😁 sounds great 👍🏼
Car looks great Joe.
I really appreciate that
Sounds fantastic.
Looks tight, and right. Nice car. 💙✌️
Took you long enough! I also used Motul fluid for my recent tranny and rear differential flush. The shifts are subtly but noticeably smoother. You should add some of the JDM OEM STi parts! The BBK is amazing!
Love your taste in Cars.
Great minds think a like
Sounds great!
I appreciate that
Sounds great 👍🏼
sounds so good
🔥Nice Car Joe 👏👏
Thank you my friend
Apostle Joe, I thought you were gonna review a brand new vehicle but this is an awesome.
I like to bring them all to you!
@@RaitisRidesYeah
Eargasm for sure! 🔥🔥
I had the Remark Cat back on my 20 STI. I have the same setup on my 23 WRX and its definitely the best modification for any boxer, almost needed in my opinion. We'll be hearing each other im sure.
It does sound great and I initially was going to get an AWE for my 2019 STi but I ended up going Tomei Ti because I heard too many stories about quality issues with the AWE. I was hoping to hear that their quality control had improved since I looked into it a few years ago, but I guess not. The Tomei sounds amazing and is super light!
You did it right for sure!
I have the AWE Touring and it sounds amazing! I haven't had any issues with fitment like you did though.
Oh man, I thought you sold it Joe. Makes my day knowing you still have it! My 21 Sti is completely stock & a garage queen-only has 2900k on her. 😁🤣
Sweet looking for sure.
Love The 5 Percent Tint Thats What i Have
Great info 👌
Great attention to detail.
I put a AWE Touring exhaust on my 22 BRZ. Love it!!
You could here that turbo whistling when outside driving away.
Love your Subie! Do you think we will ever see another STI ever again?
It isn't looking good.
The guys at MotoIQ know how to transform these cars.
I will have to look into them
@@RaitisRides Totally, One video if interested from MotoIQ. ruclips.net/video/P9LRdpObml0/видео.html&ab_channel=MotoIQ
Cool car Joe. 👍
sounds great!
Love the Subie purr
Looks good in the rally blue with the gold wheels. The spoiler makes it look like a special car, and now the sound goes with the spoiler. You do get 5 extra hp for red seat belts.
I like the way that you think!
Nice sounds. Any recommendations to replace my cat back on my TRD Camry 2022?
Love the subie! Would you ever record a track day with it? (Or any of your other great cars 😅) Would be great to see!
I’m actually getting that together
Great choice! I have the same exhaust on my GR86
That’s so awesome
Nice. I got a ets non resonated with ets quiet mufflers catback it has a great sounding rumble.
Sound way better than stock. I know the FA is a much more reliable engine. But the EJ sound with unequal length headers is SO good
Music to my ears.
Surprisingly the sti with a good elh and exhaust sounds even better then the Wrx with an exhaust. The ej just has character regardless of which headers are on it.
love my 2018 wrx
To answer your question...Dude, like totally! 👍
Fantastic
Awesome, it’s not crazy loud at least 🤙🏽
Yeah I did not want it to be just obnoxious.
AWE track sounds awesome, its one of the louder ones. Great choice Joe.
Personally I would have gone for Subaru made performance exhaust D441SVA100 for the RA model. Limited production model should be kept with Genuine Parts but that's just me.
Sheeeshhh🤤. .When the subie sound is hitting juuussst right 18:47 - 18:58👌🏽😫😩
Sounds great! Out of the 500 production run how many were blue? Haven’t seen one on the road.
Little over 100
Way better than the stock exhaust. Get to hear more noise
Heck yes
Joe, what percentage of tint do you have on all your windows??
Raiti has good taste
Im planning on doing this to my bugeye 2005 wrx. Gonna find one that's not too loud. The boxer engines sound so good
You will love it!
With a stock car the Track edition is great. After i built my engine, the Track was so loud I needed ear plugs in the car 😆 switched to touring for that reason
Hey what's happening Joel awesome spoiler on your subbie😊❤
AWE has some of the best exhaust on the market, great choice and awesome ride! RIP WRX STI
I own the Awe track and it goes hard
Yeah, that stock sound definitely didn't match that rear wing 😁
I'm curious now how it'll be with an intake. Try one out and lets see. 👍
You got it
Warms my heart that Rati has a subaru. Just like me :)
I've had the AWE Touring exhaust on my STI 2021 and man, the factory exhaust just doesnt to it justice!
Was your AWE Touring much louder than the stock exhaust ? I am looking for a cat back or axle back option that remains a bit on the quiet side, something comparable to stock in terms of dB, but that dramatize the rumble a bit. But I am not sure if such a thing exists.
@@PascalMaisPresque for me it’s the perfect exhaust not too loud, but can definitely open up when you get on it. But if you want something quieter, go for the invidia q300
Nice video
Thank you so much
