Installing A New Exhaust On My Subaru STI! - ETS Extreme - COLD START

[@WRXMAN-ms2mm]

Your neighbours are likely very grateful that you just did the cold start!🤣 And yes quad or dual tips look 👀 more appropriate on this generation given the dual exhaust tip shrouds.

[@bigbauer66]

Love the sound of the ETS. Looks a lot nicer on the VA chassis than the Tomei did. I feel like if there was an aftermarket bumper with single exhaust opening, the Tomei setup would be better

[@kaleplayz1413]

I just bought thix exhaust today! So excited to install it tomorrow

[@josephperez9195]

I hope you like this exhaust set up, this is what I currently have on my car and I love it, keep up the good work👍

[@connor158]

i love how ur trying all different kinds. i love my tomei too but i miss quad tips

[@clementeb7967]

I have a Tomei on my stock wrx sounds really good but a quad tip would be really nice.Id go with burnt tips something about the burnt looks 🔥

[@kidstarr100]

Honestly dude the exhaust sounds insane, I love it. I’ve been on the fence of either getting the new Type R or getting a VA STI and I feel like I’ve made my final decision. I’ll get the VA and then in a few years I’ll try and also get the new Type R. The STI would be my track car but for now it’ll be my daily and the new Type R would be my new daily when that time comes. I’ve just always wanted to build an STI and I’ve already built my SI (no built motor, not worth at all imo on the small 1.5) keep the vids coming bro!

[@genadinecariaga810]

I’m planning to buy tomei but I change my mind already. Ets extreme is extremely 🔥

[@Markyboi369]

After a close look I see that you’ve got the exact setup as I do with the resonator. Loving the burnt blue look as well as the violently aggressive tone, not for everyone though.

[@Autofreakgarage]

Great minds think alike 👍🏻

[@cpwhitesti9605]

Yes! Back to a quad tip setup!!

[@dogdog4173]

After the Tomei, that’s the best one in my opinion. Single exit is just OG and unique

[@Autofreakgarage]

Agree, but for the previous gen’s. Looks a bit off on this chassis. Either way, it does offer a great sound and probably the best bang for the buck.

Sounds great but you’re missing the rumble, should try it with unequal length headers.

[@tsix8987]

I might have to try this one out. I'm currently running a Remark because Nameless was so backordered last year. I wish I could hear the Nameless vs this in person..

[@lucian7182]

I’m getting rid of my awe touring after a month, just too loud for a daily in SoCal. Putting a Grimmspeed catback on this weekend.

[@Autofreakgarage]

I’ve heard good things about the Grimmspeed catback.

[@lucian7182]

Scoobyfreak86 yeah just not a lot of people have it. I heard it was next to cobb and the q300 volume wise.

[@AltDotAlex]

If the volume starts to bother you, you can get the ETS Quiet axleback part and it's a direct very easy swap that will save your sanity on the much longer trips. Most importantly though, it still sounds really REALLY good. :)

[@Autofreakgarage]

Yes, the exhaust is interchangeable, which is a nice aspect of it as well. I prefer my cars much louder than most, so don’t think I’ll go to the quiet version.

[@chrisbaines9206]

yeah buddy that setup is strong.... NICE...

welcome to the club i went full straight pipe from them and looking to get a resonated mid pipe that drone is there to say the least lol

Is there any drone while driving?

[@Autofreakgarage]

Yes

[@erikaceves3402]

@@Autofreakgarage How bad/loud? I have the Invidia r400 right now and it has alot of drone.

[@Autofreakgarage]

Depends on your setup but it drones. Sound is subjective so it’s hard to say how much.

[@Not.The.Avg.Smitty]

Fortune enough to build my own and it was a nightmare to find the exact tips I wanted, added chambered mufflers , powder coated black tips for many reasons. #1 I hate seeing black crap on shiny tips and it doesn't take long. Vbands all the way even cut off grimmspeed dp flange replaced with vband. Actually run vbands to replace the resonator with ease or straight pipe.

[@ericraymond9027]

Hey, been following you for a while and this inspired me to go with an ETS Resonated Stealth Tip for my 2017 WRX. I haven’t purchased it yet. Couple quick questions if you wouldn’t mind providing the advice before I buy. 1st question: what do you think this should be worth used? (supposedly 3k miles on the exhaust I am looking at) 2nd question: Any issues/differences with bolting this onto the stock downpipe (still worth it?)? Cheers and thanks for all the great vids so far

[@Autofreakgarage]

Depends on the condition of the used piece. You’ll need the adapter to bolt it up to the stock downpipe.

[@s3anders36]

Best one to buy I had it before I sold my 19 STI and bout a Audi s3

[@boostid8026]

Honestly, that’s just a touch too loud for my liking, but it has a good sound despite the loudness! Good video man! Glad to see you experimenting with the exhausts though! 😎

[@Josecendejas85]

Hell yess ETS is the best man🤙🏼

[@parkerharrell1770]

Hey man! Just FYI, I love your complete setup of your WRX. Inside and out! You literally have every component I'm looking for as of engine specs and exterior cosmetics. In order to make that aggressive sound/rumble, can I just get the ETS Cat back exhaust and the Grimspeed Downpipe or do I need more? I can't get enough of that rear bumper and diffuser. Exactly, what brand are they and how do I obtain them? Are you running a bodykit or lipkit?

[@dannyniehouse2277]

Hey man love the setup can you give me you full exhaust setup. I just purchased the ets extreme cat bsck an I need the redt

[@mikeyrov5230]

Hey bro just installed this in mine today , it sounds amazing and I love it , just a question on the gaskets it’s comes with two for the stock down pipe did you use both and if you did , did you do metal first then the rubbery one and last the 3” to the new mid pipe ?

[@Autofreakgarage]

I used different gaskets from Grimmspeed since I was running a Grimmspeed downpipe.

[@mikeyrov5230]

@@Autofreakgarage oh damn ok , Ty bro , and always appreciate the fast response, you are awesome!

[@sonnyboyringor9900]

Why did you go for resonated midpipe?

[@Autofreakgarage]

I had a non res midpipe setup when I first went to equal length and it was very raspy. The res midpipe removes that unwanted rasp on el setups.

[@danieldartfreak]

I've been trying to adjust my ETS. Unfortunately the V bands seized up. I ordered new ones last night. Hoping this allows for better adjustment to the fitment. Other than movement side to side, could you adjust the tips more inside of the bumper? I have one side that sticks out further... It's also the Vband that is seized up.

[@Autofreakgarage]

Yes you can adjust. Loosen everything and make the adjustments as you tighten the v bands down.

Sounds great!! Good job on the consistent content you put out! I just got a 2015 sti, do u have any suggestions on a louder than stock exhaust? The person I bought it off of has an invidia r400, but in the 3000+ rpm range, it becomes unbearable for me (too much drone), so anything in between stock and the r400 :)

[@Autofreakgarage]

Cobb ti for a bit louder than stock or awe touring if you want louder but no drone.

[@ShiftingFury]

I have a Borla Type S exhaust, I’m running a cat less downpipe and it’s still very daily driver friendly with no drone, honestly one of the best sounding exhausts I’ve heard for an STI, just wish it was a little louder personally. You should check it out!

Depends on what you are going for. If pairing with stock headers, I would say go with the non resonated. If el, go resonated to reduce the rasp.

@@Autofreakgarage appreciate it bro

[@dworf6722]

Do you think it’s louder than the tomei?

[@Autofreakgarage]

It’s on par with the cold start I’d say. But due to the overall deepness from the ets, so far I think this edges out the tomei. I’ll have to see once I drive it to get better opinion on the overall volume.

[@andrewg7678]

How do you know if there is a leak?

Turn the car on and feel the joints. If air is coming out, than you have a leak.

You can use some of the copper antiseize it comes with to seal it up better. Most likely you overtightened the clamp and bend the piping a bit.
