My stage 2 STi (dp, up, intake, tune) was a blast to drive on the streets. Not the fastest and didn't have amazing top-end, but it def put you in your seat. It felt faster than my blouch Dom 3, fmic, meth setup @ 415whp because of the spool and torque curve.
Awesome content once again. I pulled the trigger and ordered a 2020 STI. Picking it up on October 1st. Gonna be a sad day when you sell the STI, but your in-depth reviews and knowledge are always entertaining. Don't forget about the STIs when the M3 comes haha.
I love the way you explain how it’s enough for what you need and the power is there. I feel the same way. Opened my ascent up she’s stage 2 for now but couldn’t be more thrilled as you said more than once! Tune on my friend!
Love that sound healthy wrx sti! Definitely good choice of all modes. I still have mine with stage one. Tomei Catback exhaust with cobb intake. Definitely a fun car to drive! It’s my daily and still runs strong!
Love the content man. Your sti is still the cleanest one ive seen till this day. I wish i could buy it off of you! Its a sick car. Its exactly how id want to modify my 17 wrx. But yeah if anything id say keep the sti.
All that time, work, and money spent to get to this level, and a stock M240i xdrive bone stock is faster! That's why I sold my STI before wasting my money on a ton of mods! Great video you know your car well.
i have a 2020 STI LIMITED so beautiful PEARL WHITE WITH THEM NEON GREEN CALIPERS. i wasnt gonna do any bolt on but the lasted about 10 minutes. i think they should come out the gate with 500hp. kinda sucks gotta drop another ten grand to get what the price/sports car. i still love it. i look back every time i get out. ive heard theyhave340hp 2019 and on but it says 310 .i roast all sorts of sports car. shit i hung with a 600cc bike. i love it
Have my 21 sti awe track exhaust stealth box grimmspeed intake grimmspeed down pipe with 1080 injectors with a ddp lml 64 mm and it’s been pushing 550 on stock internals running it rich no knock been there for around 65k miles running strong
Dang, I was looking at a Focus RS since it's at 350 HP and torque. Buuut I've had tons of issues with Ford throughout the years and have always liked Subaru more, plus Subaru has more aftermarket support.
they're not prone to oil starvation unless you street drive extremely hard or you track it often. that's when a new oil pan set up is needed. too many misleading subaru stigmas out there, that needed to be cleared up
Stock Oil pick up tube is prone to cracking. Once that crack or breaks, the motor will starve. Not misleading at all when it is an issue that has happened to several examples.
@@Scoobyfreak86 that's true, forgot the stock oil pick ups fail sometimes, etc.. it's a good mod although it does seem to be less of an issue than other subaru problems
I had a whole experience with the Maperformance Stage 1 and intake too. Didn't care for some of the AFR numbers and knock numbers I was seeing. Off it went.
@@BigMike48 Well there was no blown motor. I was seeing FB and FKL on tip in around -4.2. Nothing crazy but still reason for concern since it wasn't an issue before. No boost leaks. The intake would heat soak pretty easy sitting at lights and the AFR would run pretty lean under light throttle cruising. AFR WOT was good around 11.1 but something was off under light throttle. It was anywhere from 10-22. I know it does bounce around while not WOT but it was causing some stutter just driving around. Just didn't feel right and I didn't like the influx in the throttle. Once I pulled off the intake, re-flashed a stage 1 map, it was fine. Problem solved.
Hey man awesome video. Really hope to reach this point one day! I know you covered exhausts a while ago now, but I am having a hard time choosing between the AWE Touring and ETS Extreme w/ Resonator. I know you have not tried ETS before, but I would think it is similar to the Delta Motor Works having no mufflers. I really enjoy the volume and tone of the ETS, but I can see the appeal of the AWE with no drone and a quality tone. How does the deepness compare between the Delta and AWE? Side note. ETS can ship right away, AWE is backordered for another month before shipping.
Hey man! Great vid. Still new with the STI but wanted to get your opinion, is it worth getting an AP V3 and getting it to Stage 1 atleast? Is it worth voiding the warranty? Is there major risk on getting a AP and getting it to Stage 1? Thanks man!
Yes it’s worth it. It cleans up a lot of the mess the stock tube has. Nothing “voids” your warranty. Rather if something happens to whatever it is you modified, there is a higher risk of them denying warranty.
Awesome! Love the mods. Quick question, I have a 2011 STI and I wanted to start upgrading parts. The Grimmspeed catted Downpipe, would that give me issues with inspection in NJ?
Bro why not have a collection of cars. Just keep it and add to it. Car is clean. And side question did you paint the engine bay black. Cuz mine is the same color as the car silver. And yours is black
In your expert opinion, what do you think it would cost to get a 2019+ safely to 400 whp? E90 M3 guy here considering sti in the name of a new, theoretically more reliable, vehicle. Am I nuts?
@@Scoobyfreak86 that’s quite a bit of coin. What would a simple (doing it right but trying to be budget friendly) OTS stage 3 set up look like power and cost wise? I live semi close to Bren tuning so I would probably consult with them.
It does after going up to stage 3. Prior, it would never break loose, now it does if I have it off. It’s a combination of all the exhaust pieces that makes it so that. Although, I had lots of pops and bangs with just my delta catback as well.
I miss mine man, damn. i had a drunk driver hit the passenger side of my engine bay and the car went up in flames. yours is nice, but what suspension do you use?
My girl has an ST making ~470 to the wheels, and its nice, but its sure as hell not awd. props to you and your beautiful chariot. been watching a while, figured id comment finally.
@@Scoobyfreak86 nice, same here... Had fortune 500s. Loved em. And for sure it did keep me safe! I was traveling near 85mph and practically came to a dead halt during the wreck and walked away without a single bruise let alone anything else! Just a couple tears a 10k in mods. Love ur car. Hope your channel grows, you make awesome vids, glad it's a therapy for you as well!
That interior makes driving a pleasure. Am I crazy or I still detect some rumble, that was always my concern with the long headers, loosing the rumble but no need to drop gear is a big Plus!
It absolutely does. You spend the most time inside the car than out, so I always make a point to upgrade the small details to make it that much more enjoyable to drive. Not crazy at all because you are exactly correct. The rumble is not gone! At idle and low RPM, it's very hard to even tell the headers are EL. The only time they become apparent is in the higher rev range. Otherwise, it sounds extremely good and nothing like a honda or wrx in person. It has a fantastic sound.
That rumble doesn’t just come from the uel headers, it also has to do with the engine being a flat 4 and the firing order. The uel definitely accentuates it though
Don’t sell it bro! That girl is a masterpiece 💯👌🏼
That engine bay is so neat! I've always kept my STis stock but you're giving me second thoughts. Really nice setup.
Send itttt

I've never said this before in my life but you're right, that engine sounds very happy
this is how an sti should be modded, wouldn’t mind seeing what you do with an M3 though ! 💪🏽

Broo, I love your videos man. Love the car as always, I've gotten so many ideas from you that are genuine. I appreciate you.👊👊
great sounds bro.....my one only stage 2 now. will think about stage 3 after seen this clip.....
Not sure what's more impressive.. the car sound or those race car arms :)
I will now refer to my arms as “race car arms”.
All that time, work, and money spent to get to this level, and a stock M240i xdrive bone stock is faster! That's why I sold my STI before wasting my money on a ton of mods! Great video you know your car well.
For shits and giggles you should put on the Track conversion for the AWE!! Car looks and sounds great!! 👍🏽👍🏽
I thought about it, but the track pipes won't be back in stock until Oct at AWE. Plus, it would be a very similar sound to my delta motorworks setup.
Sounds great ripping around. That AWE definitely does it justice. ✌
Your correct on the idc%. I’m e-tuned with Cobb sf intake, 3 port boost control, and my idc are around 88.9% at wot.
Absolutely beautiful car. Need a video with go pro on top of head
Absolutely love it! Remember to push down the button for the e brake before pulling it up at the end 😂

Nice! Bren was such a great experience. They car felt fantastic the whole time I was on their tune. Highly recommend them.
Yo Scoob have you ever tried flat foot shifting the Sti?? My tune supports it but I’m too scared to try lol
I’ve never tried it. Too scared to haha

Those 2 mods will help you from having to use the warranty.

When the sti was stock, did it have rev hang? If there was was it similar to WRX rev hang problems?
Some, but no where near what the WRX has stock. It's been quite a while since I've driven a stock STI, so I don't remember it too much.
Awesome! Love the mods. Quick question, I have a 2011 STI and I wanted to start upgrading parts. The Grimmspeed catted Downpipe, would that give me issues with inspection in NJ?
It’s catted so as long as you are on a proper tune and not throwing lights, you’ll pass just fine.

Stop lying. Your at 310 like everyone else.
Does having traction control off really make a difference? And those pops 😭😭😭 do you get them cause of the Downpipe and headers ?
It does after going up to stage 3. Prior, it would never break loose, now it does if I have it off.

stushhhhh
