the absolute cheapest/bare-bones 400hp+ build IMO would be: ams/ets tmic ($650), ams/ets intake ($250), xforce front i pipe ($200), bolt on turbo ($2500). about $3600 total and tune it for 93 and e30. super fun daily with loads of torque and powerband!!!
Would you say the perrin charge pipe is worth to buy or would that be something like the inlet hose where its not as important unless your going all out ?
Even pre-2022 WRX/STi owners shit on VB's but part of me thinks it's jealousy or not realizing how cheaply and reliably the VB's can gain so much power with a simple bolt on and pro-tune. Absolutely love my TR. Also, I wish I bought the ETS intake. Perrin is okay but their grease filled filter for the cold intake is God awful 😑 I don't know what Perrin was thinking there.
@stevesmith1494 I guess it depends on if you want the adjustable suspension or not. I didn't see anything too different from the TR which I have but if you track and want both comfort and being able to stiffen things up on the fly, it could be a good option. But the TR is more than comfortable enough and I don't track either so I'm happy with it!
Have watched A LOT of your videos and can't believe I hadn't subscribed until now!!! Great videos man :) I currently have a Stage 2, 2020 M340i xDrive with only 15,000km's on it.... it is a GREAT car and POWERFUL.... but I have this itch to get back into a Manual JDM car..... would I be nuts to sell my car for $75k AUD and buy an almost new WRX for about $50k AUD? (also been looking at GR Corolla $60k or FL5 Civic Type R $65k) Cheers Don, Perth W.Australia (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)

Have you already ordered the RAE CBE? If so, when did you order? Just curious.. I ordered mine back on June 8th and still anxiously waiting. I-pipe is coming as well.. 🤙
@Antykain I ordered the CBE and the jpipe back in February. The jpipe was delivered in April but I’m still patiently waiting for the CBE. Honestly, I feel like the wait is long but will be worth it in the end.
@@Justafa24 Gotcha.. And I agree, the wait will be worth it! I ordered a cheap Noble axle-back to hold me over until the RAE CBE & I-pipe arrive. Had to hear something back there! Stock exhaust wasn't doing it for me.. 😏
@@Antykain I can’t tell you how many times I have almost pulled the trigger on that but I keep telling myself patience is a virtue and then I go and buy something else lol with the jpipe and the stock catback it sounds decent but I’ve been counting the days until I get that shipping update!
@@Pressecopapi it can. If the check engine light is for a specific code it will run in limp mode, or sometimes not run at all. If you're referring to the jpipe it can effect hill assist and cruise control. With the CEL those options will not turn on.
What are your thoughts on the AWE exhaust. I run it on my WRX and it's pretty good to me. I was debating the borla or ETS initially but the tips on the AWE did it for me
@@stevesmith1494 I meant the TS WRX haha but I've been wanting to do reviews on all the FA24 turbo cars. It would be interesting to see how they feel in different platforms.
@HeavyMetalWRX the Legacy feels good, better tires and breaks with some springs and it will be amazing for a family full sedan. Slight CVT turbo lag, but gets up to 60 and 100 pretty fast. Downfall, there is no aftermarket for it. Even cobb says it isn't a priority. But, now I can say I have owned a legacy, sti, wrx. Also currently own a Forrester, might trade that in for crosstrek. The legacy would be amazing if it was a manual and had an aftermarket selection. So.....back to the WRX
Def wanna get an oil cooler after seeing our friends temps after backroading. In the heat of summer I’ve hit 233 and he stayed at 206. Wanna look into that and getting a bigger intercooler
@@ROROSWRX hmmm very interesting. I will inquire about that when I get back to work Monday. Misha, our owner, is a walking encyclopedia of Subaru knowledge. 30 years of it and there isn't a single question he can't answer.

@MattBowler sounds great! Can't wait to see what the car does beginning to end
dude this IIR black friday deals have taken advantage of me. I am local to the shop so I can just stop in and pickup what I need and all these discounts are insane
Process west FMIC
Perrin inlet
Turbo smart dual port BOV
ETS intake
Noble titanium dual exit exhaust
Cobb AP
and a tune from clark turner tuning.
where do I post my go fund me to recover from this? LOL
ETS catted Jpipe with the standard Cobb cat back sound really good. I would love to hear a Borla in person for comparison.
I have the RAE Motorsports GESI jpipe and I have no CEL light. Sounds great and it will sound even better when I pair it with their CBE.

First mod I did was the Borla S-Type with the ceramic black tips and I couldn't be happier.
@@JaceMazama I am going to reach out to borla next week. If they send me an exhaust im changing everything 🤣
Will a check engine light effect how the car runs
@@Pressecopapi it can. If the check engine light is for a specific code it will run in limp mode, or sometimes not run at all. If you're referring to the jpipe it can effect hill assist and cruise control. With the CEL those options will not turn on.
@ yeah I wanted to run no cat on my car that’s why I was asking
What are your thoughts on the AWE exhaust. I run it on my WRX and it's pretty good to me. I was debating the borla or ETS initially but the tips on the AWE did it for me
I think the AWE is great. I've heard the Track version and it sounds awesome. Similar to other non muffled catbacks.
Idk AFE with the swirly is pretty tempting...
I want the awe touring res/muff.
@@CruelUnknown is that the Takeda? I did that install with my buddy. Very interesting looking exhaust.
I've got the touring AWE and love it. The 4" double wall tips were certainly part of the reason I got it.
Cant wait for the tS coming soon. I should have waited, but bought the 2025 Legacy Turbo. Same FA24, but not a WRX
I'm waiting for someone in my area to pick one up. Id love to do a legit review on it.
@@HeavyMetalWRX the 2025 legacy turbo?

@@Link85x28 it's time to get a VB 👀
@HeavyMetalWRX Soon hopefully! Wouldn't mind getting the TS, just hope it isn't too much.
Too much Perrin. Their stuff is GARBAGE and their customer service is TERRIBLE. I wish I hadn't given them a cent of my money, and never will again.
If you live in the northeast, get a catch can instead of risking an aos.
