I GOT A 2019 AND HOLY SHIT I LOVE THESE CARS THEY SOUND SO GOOD STOCK TUNE WITH EXHAUST

[@bonniehammond9566]

My 2006 was catless and divorce down pipe. Crazy whistle driving in the city. I have a 2021 and wanted to check the whistle on your guys car. My only regret is waiting to do the mods.

[@SubieShakedown]

I’m all about catless! Nice video 👍

[@shakobuilt]

Catless is sick! Thanks!! ❤️

[@scottwatelet5769]

Can’t do it here in Vermont. But the tuning up here is crazy good with emissions in tact. I pulled 322hp cats on at VEMS

[@shakobuilt]

Sheesh

[@kgalbreaith]

the white wrx is sooooo clean

[@shakobuilt]

Thanks you!! 🔥 ❤️

[@NitroKiddForTheWin_Subscribe]

Love this video bro

[@shakobuilt]

Thanks bro!

[@joshramos1904]

Bro this channel underrated asf fr fr love the vids bros keep it up might be getting me a wrx soon too 🤟🏽🤟🏽

[@shakobuilt]

Thank you so much man!! And that’s lit bro, you’re gonna love it!

[@romankartsev220]

Thanks guys. Both sounds nice!. But the hatless has a smell of fumes that will cause very bad health problems eventually smelling those exhaust fumes especially sitting in traffic with your windows down, it even gets into your AC while sitting in traffic into your cabin.

[@shakobuilt]

Honestly I haven’t smelt anything Catless just sitting in traffic, but you are right

[@brandtfenner]

*turns ac inside cabin only *

[@ReJecTTeD]

I love that smell😅

[@topeydelacru3857]

The white wrx is on stage 2+? What set do you run? Thanks buds!

[@TheGMen919]

You say if you want flames go catless but I was told by a few friends my car on stock j pipe shoots flames. All in the tune man.

[@shakobuilt]

That had to be lying to you, if you are shooting flames on stock your cats must be messed up, ask any tuner they will tell you the same

[@shakobuilt]

Yeah I just realized that lol thanks for the info tho bro!

[@julianayala4606]

White car pops more and it’s not that raspy so if prefer the white one

[@seantex8041]

Would you say that there is a big difference between racing cat and decat because I am not sure what is better. What you say that it has a big difference in sound?

[@lucastatman9577]

What’s full exhaust setup on white car?

[@Brioh777]

What exhaust is on them I have a catted grimspeed exhaust and a r400 but mine isn’t that loud I want that turbo sound

[@wrxhex]

I really wanna get a catless but my buddy is telling me to get catted in case of emmision tests. I like both but I just want it loud lol idc if it’s my daily, I enjoy it so much.

[@shakobuilt]

Get what you like man!!

[@balance5216]

I’ve been straight pipe for awhile now and it’s just too much for daily driving. Getting a resonated cat back soon

[@balance5216]

@Green Bastard no muffler. I’ll be keeping my muffler deletes with the resonated catback. It’s the j pipe that’s making the majority of the noise

[@shakobuilt]

Tbh I agree straight is too much for a wrx if it’s a daily

[@bonniehammond9566]

Upgrade the sound system and you'll be ok

[@tylergiveshugs9562]

what wheels does the white car have? need me some chrome!!!

[@helmuthcampos1455]

Were can I get that catless downpipe? I would like to know, So I can get one myself plz

[@theneification]

Nice shift @1:55 👌🏼

[@shakobuilt]

Thank you!!

[@bugginout]

Ffs

[@Davethehorse321]

I’m going catted for sure, tuner said he prefers that too. Also, should I break open my headlights and put the C lights in? Do yours stay sealed closed now without moisture, and if so what did you use to seal them?

[@shakobuilt]

I broke open the headlights for the C light! I haven’t had any problems at all for 2 years I used MORIMOTO RETRORUBBER BUTYL GLUE to seal them

[@andrewtejada3164]

I opened mine too. It was annoying and tedious, but after seeing it when it was finally all put back together, id do it again 10 times out of 10. Just take your time do NOT rush it

[@shakobuilt]

I agree annoying but take your time!

[@CronosFN]

just got my catless downpipe a few days ago. hyped to install it. how much louder was it after going catless after a catted stock j pipe

[@shakobuilt]

It’s loud!

Do you run an EBC (boost controller) with the catless? I have a Perrin Cold air intake, stage 2 forged short block, and 1 single exit invidia n1 catback. Getting mine this friday along with tune

Yes I do, I would say run EBCS Catless or not just to be more safe!

No it was actually really easy

You’ll be ok, but you will need to retune

they sound the same but i love them both :]

[@shakobuilt]

Thank you!

[@Gin81593]

Heck naw, catless you can hear the whirling sound of the turbo more.

[@89dungey]

What’s hp/tq numbers for both cars ? I got a catted downpipe from cts turbo I’m just waiting. Hopefully didn’t make a mistake by not going with high flow catless

[@clhenry78]

Based on the video and their mods, I kinda doubt they’re actually going for performance…it appears their priorities are looks and sound.

[@brucerenner1510]

So how did you achieve that sound on your cars? my subaru sounds different? what brand downpipe do you run?

[@anaphrodisiacxyu]

aftermarket exhaust / straight piped. stock is much quieter

[@tylerc4845]

Where can I buy catless j pipe/ downpipe. I have a 2016 Sti I’ve been looking everywhere but can’t find anything, I’m relatively new to the Subaru scene so I’m not sure where the good websites to find part are etc..

[@shakobuilt]

All catless are discontinue for the reason being EPA

Nice try EPA

[@clhenry78]

Umm…what’s up with your rear wheel camber? That looks terrible for chassis performance, ride quality, grip, tire wear, and subjective aesthetics.

[@alapus7774]

so a high flow cat is the same thing as catless?

No it’s not the same high flow allows you to do almost the same things as catless just won’t shoot flames

At idle?

Mostly at idle but enough to come into my windows and be visible longer than a minute or so, also when shifting gears a bit but not as aggressive at idle . IAG suggested to take header down and check valve seals since turbo seal is good and I have sump restrictor and AOS 😣

How many miles? Did you check the turbo seals?
