Making my Subaru WRX Hatchback STIFF!

[@TDT0188]

Grimmspeed if you're reading this, please for the love of god make it a bellmouth downpipe. Cobb's Downpipe is the only approved bellmouth on the market but it reduces to 2.5" at the flange..... WHY?!!? NOBODY WANTS A DIVORCED WASTEGATE OR SMALLER EXHAUST DIAMETER. Excited to hear how a Ti cobb hatch catback sounds, not excited for the price tag though lol.

It does not reduce to 2.5" anymore 🤝 new one is 3"

That titanium exhaust is awesome. My SPT cat-back has had a crack where one of the pipes for the tip meets the muffler since winter and been looking for a replacement. I was hoping Cobb would come out with a titanium exhaust for the hatches after watching the STI build from Gears and Gasoline and thank goodness, now I can have a full Cobb exhaust since I have their down pipe already!

[@Smeedia]

YESSSSSSS!!! So curious to see how it sounds 🔥💪

[@Kokinkun]

I have been waiting years for Cobb to release a titanium exhaust for the GR hatch! I have the same Cobb DP + SPT exhaust setup on my hatchback and while I love the deep rumble of the SPT exhaust, titanium exhausts just have a different note that steel exhausts cannot replicate.

[@derekhead7068]

The EJ downpipes came with two cats, at least in the GD’s. Here in SLC, Utah, they are now requiring both to be there and emissions places to submit pictures of them when they submit your testing to the county. (Going after shops passing cars without). Just made this law/rule 2 months ago. Had to play the game of failing to the new rule, getting lei-way to swap to stock over the weekend, and bring it back to retest the following Monday. So even that “green downpipe” won’t pass everywhere, I failed with my Invidia catted.

[@robertfox4118]

The best handling mod I made to my Hatch STi was Whiteline rear sub-frame infill bushes (KDT902). They massively reduce that rear end float feeling making the rear so much more planted. The GT86/BRZ has a similar setup and also benefits from this mod too. Next best mod was the front wishbone rear bush (W53353). They wear badly and caused brake judder on mine. They make the steering feel a lot more precise when upgraded. But loving the content. It's nice to see someone work on a hatch for a change. It's a really unloved and unappreciated car in the Subaru world.

May have to snag a set of the sub frame bushings, they can be a PIA to install sometimes but definitely work it 🔥

This hatchback build is my favorite project from your Smeedia channel...don't get it twisted though, your Bluebaruu is Badass!! Presently I'm on a mission for a 2014 WRX STI hatchback in factory form or as close as possible to factory. I was going to copp a 2012 Volvo c30R Polestar edition(I'm a Volvo enthusiast), the c30 has the nicest/most comfortable interior of all the hatchbacks I've ever seen. The only issue I have with the Volvo c30R is the lack of AWD, so I'm searching for a 2011-2014 WRX STI. I'll be watching this Hatchback build closely for future reference. BTW is Matt starting his own KZbin channel?

[@Talljoystick]

As a note, a rear sway bar doesn’t actually eliminate understeer on a Subaru. A front sway bar, max front camber, and a proper alignment does a better job of eliminating understeer on Subarus then just a rear bar. Rear bars alone actually reduce it overall grip on Subarus.

Invidias bellmouth CATTED downpipe does NOT throw a CEL. it's also epa compliant. I think the CEL is more of a car to car basis. Some will throw a code and some will not. For anyone curious I can send pics of my AP not showing and codes and my dash with no CEL. I'm running the catted bellmouth DP from invidia and the tomei expreme ti single exit catback.

[@Smeedia]

When we're you tuned?

[@Scoob_Heartwood]

The invidia DP is NOT CARB approved BUT to my knowledge that doesn't matter in the case of catalytic converters when talking about EPA regulations. It's sort of a Grey area...As long as the CAT can sufficiently do its job and doesn't throw any codes(and you aren't in CA) it shouldn't be affected by the cobb greenspeed update. Even CA residents can technically still use it with the AP, as long as a code isn't thrown, however they will likely still not be able to smog it and it would be off-road-use only. All cobb did was remove the ability to bypass CEL codes from throwing and did not remove the tuning functions. To my knowledge a GESI cat is just a finer and more dense honeycomb technology that allows the larger volume of exhaust from the 3" pipe to be more efficiently burned equally or greater than a stock exhaust+cat would achieve. This is all speculation of course and I don't have proven science to back these claims but my own personal investigating came to this conclusion. 🤙

Ayo Tanner, for the next turbo upgrade, instead of doing the FP Black, can you do some off the other turbos that have come out recently like Grimmspeed BB500 or BCP x500R.

[@Smeedia]

The BB500 wouldent get me to my final power goal and I'm not a huge fan of the BCPs that I've seen before

[@BushidoPhoto]

I noticed you got rid of the airbox thing next to the battery. Does it throw a check engine light without it? I want to remove mine on my STI, but I don't know how to get rid of it. Thanks.

[@Smeedia]

The secondary air pump?

[@BushidoPhoto]

@@Smeedia Yes. I have an aftermarket tune on my car, pre-green speed. If I delete it, would it throw a code? I don't think the tuner can provide me with updates anymore since I don't have TGV's.

Hey got a off subject question I'm getting the old subie stumble has anyone tried subiespeed fuel regulatory kit or should I go radium

What’s the widest tires I can get for a stock 17 sti rim? I believe the width of the rim is 8.5

Hey sorry, off topic a bit, but my coolant cross pipe is leaking on my 05 WRX is there any gaskets you would recommend and where to get them? Also, where is a good reference for torquing specs when I reattach the intake manifold?

did you do solid engine mounts to go with that solid trans mount?? if not all the strain will be on the solid mount.

I don't use solid mounts though, all mounts use poly bushings. Solid mounts in a daily is an awful idea

Damm. I love my Cobb down pipe and cat back. Now if the titanium makes a difference you sold me on it and I’ll be waiting for Cobb to release it. Just curious how much. Regular cat back is 2k. I’m guessing 4K. 😭😭😭😭 lol.

Wanted to update you with my cooling issues. I did a mishimoto turbo side cap and put the rad OEM cap on and that seemed to make the temps more consistent and car spent less time in the 200s. Time to beef up suspension now and pick wheels and tires. Tires will be Nitto, and rims will be gold. 18" wheel size. Any recommendation on offset and width that wont hit my stock brake size ?

[@Smeedia]

18x9.5 +38 is a pretty safe bet for most out there 🥳 glad to hear the cooling system is a bit more sorted now 🔥🥳

[@trnql_noir]

Would running a trans mount in tandem with engine mounts (IAG Comp for both) without an upgraded pitch stop cause any damage to the motor or anything? Thanks! (Asking for a 21 STi) The reason I am considering skipping the pitch stop is because I am not comfortable running one without a pitch stop mount brace. Right not braces are just way too expensive.

[@Smeedia]

What car do you have? 👀

[@trnql_noir]

@@Smeedia 2021 WRX STi 🔥

You don't need the pitch stop brace, just the pitch stop mount 🙏

@@Smeedia Would it be okay to skip the pitch stop mount too? (So just trans and engine mounts)
