Big thank you for the recognition. Seeing someone like you help out the little guys like me makes me happy that youre a down to earth chill dude. Peering behind the scenes of youtube has shown me some not so great things..but you sir...are fantastic. 🤘🤘
I felt the same way about the stock BPV after I installed an intake on my VB. I installed the GFB DV+ BPV and it’s so much better. It still uses the stock solenoid but the valve is mechanical and held closed with a spring so it only opens and closes with vacuum and boost like what we’re used to. It also only opens like 1mm vs 3-5mm for the stock unit so it sounds much more refined.
I didn't like the sound of my ETS intake until I replaced the bov to the turbosmart plumb back bov. Now it doesn't have that dragging sound the stock one makes
It’s interesting seeing the evolution of aftermarket grow for new cars. Aftermarket parts are so limited with some new cars that each part released can often be really exciting to many people. 10-20 years later… a plethora of parts available!!
Just bought my 23 WRX and I am loving your videos, almost cant wait for warranty to be up so I can start tuning lol Keep teaching up plebs how to do it 👍
Omg I almost thought I was in a parallel universe today lmao I told myself “I swear I saw this last night, am I going crazy?” Thank you for clarifying I’m not going nuts 🤣
I would suggest keeping the stock airbox and going with either an AEM dry flow drop in panel filter or a Perrin drop in panel filter. I have the AEM dry flow panel filter with the Carbon filter delete in my impreza and it's honestly fantastic
I wish I was able to get Perrin or preferably Grimmspeed intercooler and intake but Unfortunantly I live in commifornia so I can only get COBB intake and FMIC. Which I have no complaints about I just prefer the red piping that Grimmspeed provides over the flat back. But I have one more year to go on warranty after that it’s off to the races.
The cops ask what brand your from mount is?? That is insane… cops here in a Canada pretty mod friendly especially during the summer months. Only thing they hassle for is no front plate. I’d take your weather over our cops any day though lol🙂
Having the CVT is going to save me so much money. Lol. ETS Extreme Catback, Radium dual catch-cans and a radar detector, I'm done. :D Still love watching the videos though.
I've thought about someday trying to start a RUclips channel following whatever vehicle "builds" I might do. What are some suggestions and tips you might give someone who might try it out?
Doesn't removing the front crash bar severely reduced the safety of the vehicle? Also, when you installed the cobb stuff you mentioned you were going to make these car mods relatable for a person's daily driver. But with the safety gone here, I guess that idea has shifted to.
Ets has a front mount crash bar… I was going to ask if you would sell the cobb charge pipe I bought my cobb top mount before they designed that charge pipe so I’ll just have to get one no biggie
You’re a master in modifying Subarus and I know you put the stock airbox back in, but for a daily driver running that intake with no box is just not something I would even consider
No. The crash bar is actually for low speed incidents and bumper support. All of the high speed accident related stuff is behind the crash bar in the form of crumple zones. They make aftermarket crash bars that you can add for peace of mind only, and are just as effective or ineffective as the stock one was. Chances are, if you collide front end, and you crumple the crush zones, you would have done so with the crash bar anyhow.

I appreciate you answering my calls at the most random of times 😅 I tell you! I am normal dude like everyone else 🫡
I actually think its awesome that Melanie likes to hang at the shop with you even if she naps, that's real love right there!
She comes and just hangs out 🔥 she da best 🥳
so thankful someone else had that much fun putting that stupid oily filter on!

Right?! I remember the early days of subaru when parts were limited and there were TONS of DIY mods 😅
🛠️ 🙄🫡
perfect timing for a video to drop while eating lunch
Whats for lunch 👀
@@Smeedia some leftover chinese 🥠
Checking in again Chief 💀
It's a good thing I screenshot your help last night 😂
Lol glad you got it 😅🫡
Just bought my 23 WRX and I am loving your videos, almost cant wait for warranty to be up so I can start tuning lol Keep teaching up plebs how to do it 👍
I started watching it last night and it got pulled mid video. Glad it’s up again now!
Yt blacked out like 60 sec of video for some reason last night 😅
Omg I almost thought I was in a parallel universe today lmao I told myself “I swear I saw this last night, am I going crazy?” Thank you for clarifying I’m not going nuts 🤣
@@jpkillah1 i came to the comments to check for this exact reply 😅😅😅
Thanks to you, I have a VB now. Thanks
Try a cone filter instead of the foam filter
I feel like it would be just as loud? 👀
I can't believe the Rio doesn't go back on. The car will fold if it hit lightly in the front. Other than that, awesome as always 👌👌
Looks very nice, I kinda like that odd valve sound
It's so odd, you can hear everything fluctuation 😅
I’m surprised I didn’t get the code after I put mine on!

I've got the Cobb drop-in filter for the stock airbox 🫡
Dudes ballin...puts a 800$ top mount on then a week later throws on a front mount...$$$$
Sponsors, views, clicks, its work.
Installed a perrin intake for a friend same issue, filter kept slipping off. New clamps seemed to hold it better than the ones it came with
Oh the video is back 😮
Saw it posted yesterday and it was gone before I knew it
Yt messed up like 60 sec during processing last night 😤
Gotta love YT
Same happened to me. Smh

same here. ended up going with mostly cobb parts. no complaints they're built solid
danggg cant believe you dont like the woooooosh
Having the CVT is going to save me so much money. Lol. ETS Extreme Catback, Radium dual catch-cans and a radar detector, I'm done. :D
Still love watching the videos though.
The CVT is a saving grace in that manner 😅🔥
I've done the loud car thing. If it's a daily I don't want it to sound like a track car as that shit gets old quick.
Agreed, I don't want to hear the diverter valve the entire time 😅
I swear I watched this last night
You did 😅 but there is no longer a missing 60 sec segment lol
@Smeedia yeah haha that was weird 😅 went thru to reset my modem and ps5. Realized it was the video haha
@@Smeedia I see I thought I was going nuts!
Did i not watch this last night? And now it says it uploaded only 5 hours ago?
You did, I took it down last night. Yt had a processing issue where it lost 60 sec of video 🙏
did you get dmca'd yesterday since the video was taken down
No, that was me 🙏 YT killed like 60 sec of video on upload 😅
Battery relocation next?👀
Not on this car 😅
I was halfway through this video last night and then it went private mid video lol
YT dumped 60 sec of video and it just went black half way through on the original upload 😅
Im having deja vu right now! Can believe you had to do this twice lol 😆 😂
Knocked it out real quick 😂
What camera / lens you are using at the moment ...
Canon R5 with an RF 15-35 👀
Love to see warranties get voided….lol
Who needs em 👌
Why does this video not show on your page? I had it as a notification only. RUclips being crazy again
Ahhh now it shows lol
Just YT being YT again 😩
That intake filter looks so wacky
I've thought about someday trying to start a RUclips channel following whatever vehicle "builds" I might do. What are some suggestions and tips you might give someone who might try it out?
Yay
🎉🎉🎉🎉
It's been a while since you sang "A Thousand Miles"... you OK Bro? 😉
I've moved on to the zombies 😅
do you feel more turbo lag from the FMIC compared to the TMIC ?
Nothing noticeable 🙏
What size and brand do you think i should go on my wifes 09 wrx?
Foooooor? Intercooler?
@@Smeedia yes Front mount
Giveaway on the cobb top mount?
It's going back on soon 🙏
@@Smeedia not a fan of the the front mount?
@acidmike3535 I like it, but I think in this case I actually prefer the top mount 👀
@@Smeedia finally was waiting to see you do a build with a top mount now I just wanna see you do a build with uel headers
@@acidmike3535 the 07 is getting UEL 🫣
Question whats betterctop mount or bumper intercooler
Both are good options, I have. Video covering both. In short though. I'd suggest a fmic for bigger power. And a tmic for moderate power 🙏
Best affordable car ever made!😅
😅😅😅😅
Have you had any issues with your windshield washer fuild light coming on when braking?
Did you accidentally upload this yesterday?
Not accidentally, took it down because there was a processing issue that made 60 sec of video disappear 😅

The Cobb stuffs going back on, this was to gain some feedback on the stuff. 🤝
But yes ideally you want to keep your crash bar
Ets has a front mount crash bar… I was going to ask if you would sell the cobb charge pipe I bought my cobb top mount before they designed that charge pipe so I’ll just have to get one no biggie

wht vent mount do you use for the cobb ap?
amzn.to/40gdhIA
Re-upload cause the long pause in the middle?
Yessir 😅
So which is better Perrin or ets fmic
Haven't tried the ETS on the 22+ yet so I can't give a solid answer 😅
@@Smeedia your good lol
Anyone know if you can run this with an ETS intake without having to completely remove the heat shield?
Hi, can Wrx be modified to consume less fuel like Golf GTI?
It sure can. Just put a vw engine in there.
Repost?
Video last night had a processing issue where YT blacked out 60 sec of video 💀 so took it down and reuploaded it
@@Smeedia oh right!
I forgot about that section
Perrin giveaway.. 😅?
🫣🫣🫣
😎👍🏻👍🏻
TOMMMMMM
Smeedia !!!!!
MIKE!!!
I thought this was your daily driver.
😆 "Modify All Dailys"
It may be my daily but nothing is safe 😅
I guess your warranty on the car is voided
It's been gone for a while now 😅
He is the warranty
So dude she left
Who?! 😫
BuT yOuR wARrEnTy!
Lol
Your putting the Cobb tmic back on?
Yeah ima swap it all back on, think I'm happier with that set up
