GRIMMSPEED CATTED JPIPE + INVIDIA R400! - INSTALL& REVIEW - Subaru WRX 15+

[@WRXGarage]

Just so everyone knows, the audio clips of the exhaust from the rear were normalized to a LOWER dB level so your headphones don't blow out, and so you can hear the full range of the tone! Thank you everyone for the support

[@blokecalledboof]

I have a Invidia J pipe and Q300 on WRX, when I installed the J pipe I didn't have any heat wrap so I massaged the OEM heat shield and it secured using the O2 sensors.

[@xNo0meansYesx]

I did the GS v2 j-pipe with the r400 and love the sound. The grumble "rumble" is more profound after the j-pipe. Did stage 2+ w/ upgraded tmic. Made 330whp/wtq @ 6k rpm while at 20psi.

[@WRXGarage]

🤙🤙🤙 hell yeah that's a great setup

[@xNo0meansYesx]

Adding another comment, on cold starts with the GS v2 and Invidia r400. It's loud outside but inside the house I cant really hear it. I live in a highly populated area. My neighbor (old head in the 70s, me being late 30s) said my car sounds great while he was getting into his car. Driving around without getting on it, sounds great and will not impede your conversations with people. Getting on it with windows up is quiet in the cabin but loud enough to know you got on it.

[@jomardiaz78]

if you let it roll while in 1st or 2nd gear (Clutch in) rev it, you get to hear all the cool different pops. depending on how much you rev, gives you different's amount of aggressive pops. I have a catted jpipe and remark cat-back exhaust, resonated

I have a GS v2 with Invida R400 and love how it sounds. The recording microphone picks up more than what it is. Cold starts are loud but give the oil a chance to circulate then roll off. My son and I prefer having the windows down while driving so we can enjoy the exhaust. While the windows are up my music volume is at about 12 and I can hear it clearly.

[@hecmeister]

Love the video. I too was looking to go Cobb all the way. I was worried it would be too quiet! I think you've talked me into going this route. I want a little more growl out of my exhaust; and more power. I was super geeked when I loaded the Stage 1 firmware. I can't WAIT to see what happens when I change out some hardware and retune. Thanks again!

[@JALNIN66]

I just bought a 2019 WRX with this exact combination. I already got pulled over by a MA state trooper for just maintaining the speed limit on the highway. Just driving by, no extra revs or acceleration. He let me off with a warning because I just bought it and I passed inspection last week. This was only 2 miles from my house so I think he's going to be looking for me from now on. My last car was a stock G37 and in 5 years I never got pulled over. I need to either quiet this thing down significantly or sell the car. He quoted me the MA law that states aftermarket exhaust may not be any louder than stock. Total BS as I could buy a Hellcat that would be just as loud but that's OK? Why because I spent a lot of money? I watched your Q300 video but I think that's still loud enough to get me pulled over constantly. Apparently my J-Pipe adds a lot of volume by itself. What's the quietest possible exhaust that will not require a retune? I have a protune with TGV and EGR delete, BRZ intake and flex fuel mods, all of which COBB recently stopped supporting because of laws so I can NEVER retune without permanently removing most of my mods. I am NOT going to put up with getting pulled over constantly. I hate to sell a 413whp WRX I just bought but I have no desire to practice up on my sidewalk Olympics and be on a first name basis with local police.

[@WRXGarage]

The quietest option is the stock exhaust! You should be able to buy a 3" to 2.5" converter to use the stock catback with your jpipe.

[@JALNIN66]

@@WRXGarage Thanks so much for your quick response. I'm subscribing now. But wouldn't it require a retune if I downsize to 2.5"? I thought I had to stay with 3" to avoid a retune. If I can get away with it I'll do it. My son has a stock exhaust on his 2016 and he wants the R400 so we just could swap. It is not possible for me to ever retune this car because my mods are no longer supported by COBB.

[@WRXGarage]

The catback section really doesn't effect much at all to be honest. I'd be very very surprised if it effects your tune or power output! The COBB jpipe is designed to hookup directly to a stock catback

Most aftermarket catted jpipe's will be fine with a COBB OTS tune, it just won't be optimized. I'd definitely recommend that you don't try it with catless.

Thank you sir! Your videos give me all the info I need to make my choice! Because of you I'm also going with the Invidia R400 for my WRX 2019! No offense towards Kyle's Axleback! But I live in Quebec (Canada) and the exhaust laws here ARE CRAZY

[@WRXGarage]

Exhaust laws in the US are very, very gray. Meaning a lot of states have them, but they're rarely enforced unless the car is absolutely obnoxious or speeding. California is definitely strict too.

[@Enerix87]

@@WRXGarage Exhaust and tinted windows are very gray indeed , it all depends on the cop who see's you sadly. Good to know that it isn't only in Quebec!

I guess you can call that Obnoxious :P

[@dlg5485]

Nice video. It's interesting to learn that this aftermarket cat is more effective than the stock one. I definitely wouldn't have expected that. I just purchased a 2020 WRX Limited and I had ruled out any major exhaust mods for that reason, but maybe I'll consider something like this after all. However, that'll be a ways down the road because this car was way too expensive to risk losing my warranty. I do plan to upgrade the shifter stop and bushing immediately, but other performance mods will have to wait.

[@WRXGarage]

👍

[@danielo22]

About to purchase the gs catted downpipe. Did you have to do any other mods to go stage 2 besides the downpipe. EGR/TGV delete,etc... Is it a necessity? Really enjoy your videos btw, very helpful and informative.

[@WRXGarage]

For the WRX, no other mods are technically required to safely go "stage 2". If you just want to do the GS jpipe and get tuned for it, that's completely fine! If you plan on getting an etune or protune, I'd suggest adding atleast the GS ebcs as well, just for more reliability and control.

[@danielo22]

@@WRXGarage Awesome, thank you for the quick response. Appreciate it.

[@domingopoupin7653]

It's definitely louder and wayy deeper! The overall sound quality is better too.

[@saigoneze4746]

Im trying to figure out whether to get the invidia j pipe or another brand I dare say there all pretty similar .Will also do the egr/tgv deletes while at it .Keep the wrx vids coming man!

[@WRXGarage]

To be honest, you're right most of the jpipe's are similar. Grimmspeed's has a different location for it's cat, further down the pipe which supposedly helps with exhaust velocity. cobb's ends with a 2.5" or 2" flange instead of 3". Other than that... They're all very similar. When going for it, don't give in to the cheapest out there. Trust in the name brands who produce the best quality products.

[@troyspurvey928]

I asked Cobb if I could use another Jpipe besides theirs and they said they wouldn’t reccomend it, what jpipe options do I have that will for sure work with the ots stage 2 ?

[@WRXGarage]

Catted only. COBB's tune is technically designed for only the COBB catted jpipe, but you'll be able to safely run their tune temporarily with any brand name catted jpipe. Again, the tune itself won't be the best because it's not exactly designed for your jpipe, but overall, it will be safe and pretty reliable. An etune or protune will always be better.

[@jonathanvillalobos6932]

there is no need for the grimmspeed downpipes adapter if you're running this set up right?

@@krstudio6391 the r400 wasnt meant to be the loudest, but i believe it sounds the best out of any of the other choices. im pretty much full bolt on. nearing 380 Whp and 350 torque. but i do believe the catted J pipe does help increase the sound level of the car. i have no regrets with the combo

[@KevinMoto719]

So you just used a cobb ots tune with your gs jpipe? How is that, my impression was that it would only run with a cobb downpipe. What brand cold air do you have?

[@WRXGarage]

I have a stock intake! And actually, you can run pretty much any catted downpipe with Cobb's stage 2 OTS! Not the most reliable thing in the world, but it's safe enough to run for daily driving no problem

[@youngdrug5927]

I just Bought 1 in BC, Canada. I bought the sport variant. I feel that the car’s really lacking below 1800 rpm. It’s manual.It’s faster than my Octavia vrs which had 310 hp with a stage 1 tune. It does not feel fast but. Please suggest a tune which would give me more low end torque. The vrs has sport dct from audi and brakes from the cayman. I am very new to North America. Also, I’ve never owned a Japanese car. Please help. Thanks.

[@WRXGarage]

To be honest, you should NEVER go more than half throttle below 3000rpm anyways. No well-tuned car will have good power that low in the rpm band! Also, keep in mind that these cars are turbocharged so the powerband peaks at around 5500 in every gear

Realistically how loud is it during cruising and highway speeds? I went from a straight pipe to now catless dp with stock exhaust lol want to keep it as quiet or even a hare louder than it is now

This entire setup is probably in the middle of the pack for loudness. If I were you, I'd go for the q300 catback instead. I think that would meet exactly what you're looking for. The r400 is a couple steps louder.

I'm about to install that same GrimmSpeed J-pipe on my 2021 WRX, but my plan is to pair it with Cobb's SS catback. While running Cobb's stage 2 OTS map with GrimmSpeed's J-pipe, did you encounter any concerning number trends with AF Learning, AF Correction, DAM, Feedback Knock, Fine Knock Learn, etc? I'm mainly asking because I'd like to run Cobb's stage 2+ OTS map for a while rather than immediately springing for a dyno tune upon J-pipe installation. How long did you run Cobb's stage 2 OTS map before moving on to an E-tune or dyno tune? Thanks.

[@WRXGarage]

Running COBB's OTS stage 2 with the GS jpipe is absolutely safe. Maybe not 100% optimized.. an etune will likely be more reliable and stronger overall. That being said, I ran the stage 2 COBB tune for around 6-8 months and didn't have any issues. If you have access to 93 octane, I'd run 93 octane with the 91 tune.

[@Smljhndnsmr]

@@WRXGarage I only have access to 91 octane. Also, I forgot to ask about codes. Since the location of the catalytic converter is different on GrimmSpeed's J-pipe as compared to Cobb's J-pipes, will that cause O2 sensor codes to occur?

Thanks for the video. Your the only one I saw on KZbin that did the heat wrap. I live in Ny , and am worried that the snow/salt combo could cause damage to the pipe if I put this on. Is this true? What made you decide to do this? I purchased the jpipe but didn’t install it yet. Want to do the wrap before I attempt to install I am also worried about stripping the bolts.

[@WRXGarage]

As the heat wrap heats up, it hardens, kind of creating a bit of a barrier. In my opinion, it will atleast keep the salt off the pipe itself. As long as you drive frequently, the heat being put into the wrap will keep it dry! I decided to add the wrap to help reduce heatsoak near the turbo! It actually helps with getting the Cat hotter faster as well. As for stripping the studs... It's a gamble, some people have no issues, many strip or break atleast one. Definitely pre-soak them in PBblaster overnight if possible, also heat the turbo housing with a torch if possible when actually removing them

i cut off the resonator of the r400 and it sounds better.

What Spoiler is that?

[@WRXGarage]

That is the Rexspeed carbon fiber duckbill!

Great video guys 👍

[@WRXGarage]

Thanks man!!

[@Reaper-mn5ym]

Im in ct and for a second I though I bought your car 🤣

[@cmillan14]

Do you plan on getting protuned anytime soon?

[@WRXGarage]

I'll get a protune next month when I get an intake and boost controller!

[@cmillan14]

@@WRXGarage awesome I love seeing what other people have on their rex's. I have a 2019 premium, same color as yours. Wish I had more around me to cruise around with!! I got botti tuned on the dyno 2 weeks ago!

[@cmillan14]

@@WRXGarage make sure to get an intake with an airbox, really important for these cars, anything else would perform worse than the stock intake. I went with Cobb and I'm really happy with it.

[@WRXGarage]

I'll probably end up going with the GS stealthbox

[@jamesg8246]

Sounds just like a stock setup with just muffler deletes to me.

[@cre8tivegarage157]

Love this review and install 🔥🔥💪🏿

[@birdnelson1187]

Great video guys! Lovin the car so far

[@WRXGarage]

Thanks Bird!!!

[@necromancer___3054]

There’s a cat in there? It looks like a straight pipe lol

[@WRXGarage]

I don't think grimmspeed even makes a catless version anymore tbh. Yes, there's a high-cell cat in there

[@vince4707]

This sounds amazing!

[@WRXGarage]

Thanks Vince! I love it too

[@browneymix3918]

It's BrowneyMix

[@WRXGarage]

Ayyy

[@elizabethkaesmann8534]

Awesome!

[@balance667]

No restriction would be catless lol

[@WRXGarage]

For a full bolt-on Subaru, a catless downpipe wouldn't add more horsepower vs a catted one.. at that point the car would have external wastegates anyways, so there's not really any real reason to go catless over catted unless you just want to be louder and hear a bit more turbo spool!

[@HEYSERG]

Sounds damn good

[@stevebuscemi3622]

Bruh u need a garage, couldnt imagine parking my Z outside specially in the winter. Nice car tho

[@BoratsBestFriend]

You look like a much healthier version of colt from 90 day fiancé . Sorry I had to 😂

[@WRXGarage]

😂😂😂 had to look it up. Yeah our beards are similar

[@brianandrade7276]

Do you need a tune to have the j pipe or can you have it stock?

[@WRXGarage]

Aftermarket jpipe needs a tune!

[@shatrel7117]

What shift knob is that ?
