[@onxterr9949]

Bro ur vids r becoming godly mane @13:35 transition was so underrated and the angles u get have come such a long way. Been subbed for over a year now and it’s so cool seeing the journey you do with every car and keeping the same inspirational quote outro every time always makes my day. Just wanted to say keep up the great work Chris!

[@chris_borges]

Much love bro. Messages like this honestly means so much to me. Thank you. ❤

[@BlitzDragoon-]

Since you asked... there was a couple videos with the frs where you basically just drove around I'd like to see with the BRZ and Sti. I appreciate all you do Chris you're the most inspiring guy ever.

[@chris_borges]

Ahhh good ol throwback videos. I definitely should bring those vibes back!

[@evsep79]

Sounds fire. Louder can be over rated, the tone is spot on. About to install a intake and access port on my 2021 sti tomorrow i have a ti exhaust . Let’s go, Subaru love

[@chris_borges]

Sick!! You’re gonna love it so much man. 🔥

[@DavisEthan_]

I just bought my first car but I’ve already had trucks. I bought a WRX and I’ve been following your videos ever since I watched everything on your red WRX and I just bought the LEDs. love the content!

[@trentel]

STI is looking 10/10 so far! It would be cool to see a cinematic car edit with the FRS, BRZ, and STI in it! Thanks for doing the quote at the end of the video

[@chris_borges]

That would be fire!! 👀🔥

[@RSXengineering]

I had a 2011 STI with a 3inch catless downpipe + Invidia N1. Perfect set up IMO. It shot flames at high rpm's but wasn't too loud down low.

[@chris_borges]

Geeeez 👀🔥

[@WRX_TunedFA20]

Thanks for the boosted performance I actually did not know about them and by the current situation of cobb green speed this SOOOO! much of help thanks and thanks for this content

[@Brian_1800]

I have a modded 2020 STI. I would highly recommend you install Cobb or ID 1050x injectors, AEM 340lph fuel pump, Cobb or Grimmspeed boost controller, Cobb fuel stumble kit or an Aeromotive A1000 fuel pressure regulator/fuel line & rail upgrade and get the car open source tuned to avoid maxing out your fuel system and to avoid a P0420 fault code. I’d also get an IAG AOS, cylinder 4 cooling mod, and oil pan/oil pickup upgrade.

[@quan1509]

It sounds perfect honestly it doesn’t need to be louder

[@ekachwagh]

Your WRX videos was one of the reasons I got one for myself. Much love, keep doing what you do!

[@chris_borges]

Ayyy much love and appreciate you sticking around! ❤

[@yung5871]

Catless downpipe w the tomei is the perfect combo

[@ohgryph]

Catted and catless downpipes have it’s benefits and flaws to their own, catted obvi makes it give less toxic fumes and etc. also controls the boost a bit more, and is more tamed. Without that cat it lets all those toxic exhaust fumes mix with the engine and would make the backfire more aggressive and pop a lot, but could also result in boost creep because the catalytic converter is now deleted, so you may need to pay more attention to your boost or get a bigger waste-gate to handle the increase amount of pressure and air from the turbo without a cat. I’m sure I missed a bunch of other key points, but from personally having experience w/ both those are the major factors I personally experienced. Great context as always tho and it sounds awesome! Keep growing and doing what you love !

[@chris_borges]

Thanks for the tips bro! Definitely helps big time. 🙏🏻

[@paulmarsdensr1095]

I'm subscribed brother. I own a 2020 STI, and I'm so happy I upgraded from the 2017 WRX to my 2020 STI. The STI is the better car by far. A great video brother as always. 😊

Ok Chris that final quote really hit me i needed that, i reacently bought a 2019 GT86 and got screwed over on the deal.. long story short i paid about $40k canadian for it in the end. Thinking to myself everyday about how im paying STI money for an 86 has been killing me, but i really do love my baby.

[@shawnz5272]

When I did the grimmspeed downpipe I went ahead and did the uppipe and TMIC from grimmspeed as well since you have to take things apart it makes sense to those mods as well. Your car sounds good bro

[@ValkenDnB]

Just change the exhaust to tomei if you want loud. Tomei exhuast on a stock sti is loud on its own. Now with a catted downpipe its going to be extra loud and the cat will help it not be too raspy in the top end. Everytime you do catless you suffer from rasp at the top end unless the exhaust is resonated well.

[@chris_borges]

Thought about pulling the trigger on a tomei. 😅

[@ValkenDnB]

@@chris_borges Friend has one and seeing that you have one on the FR-S is almost obligatory you put one on the STI ngl lol

Get some Equal Length header and external wastegate with FMIC and BOV. Sound would be nice, louder and more power.

[@Notorious1000RR]

i wish u did another video of this setup and another video if the carven setup so we would have more of both

[@the1surfkid]

I had the same problem. Wanted it to be louder. You have to finish it up with the tomei headers. You wont regret it!

[@chris_borges]

Hmmmm gotta look into that 😮

[@kimofromkalihi]

Yup Tomei ELH will definitely help

[@jachagolla98]

Sounds pretty good for being catted. Car looks good, and sounds good. Win/Win.

[@sti_ken]

You should tried the Nameless Performance catback I run a 3.5inch pipe with 4inch tips and I absolutely love it cause it sounds aggressive

[@lucian7182]

Lol every cat back sounds aggressive on an sti. Tomei and awe are definitely the top 2.

You need a up pipe and a turbo inlit take off the stock one get an aftermarket one and catalyst. Downpipe is your best way to go sounds louder and sounds amazing

[@ichizini]

car sounds great dude, i know you didnt wanna go the tomei route but its the best sounding especially with a dp. I love the way it sounds on mine, also little to no drone ! keep up the great vids.

[@chris_borges]

Haha yup it’s always a multi-day process! 😅

[@calvinjames8291]

Apologies for the long message in advance.... I'm new to the STI platform and have a question in regards to the up & downpipe. I have several big HP GM LS & LT vehicles ranging from 630whp to 1,017whp. So in no way, shape or form am I trying to build this car, but want it to run the way it should once the real tuning starts. I recently purchased this STI to replace my Focus ST, which was my daily. Immediately, the STI became the far more fun to drive vehicle than the ST ever was, and can corner nearly as stable as my CTS-V3. Long story short, the STI ran good with the patches the used car dealership done to sell the car or the previous owner stripped it before selling it because there are signs where an AOS would've been located, or possibly a DP by looking at the broken zip ties. The car currently has the SRS non muffler axle-back "and sounds great", Cobb Carbon Fiber Intake, and an OTS map. I recently replaced the turbo inlet due to half of it being mounted onto the turbo with the bottom nearly halfway in the turbo itself, so I replaced it as well with a Perrin. Car ran fine for a few days, but the PCV valve that I thought I cleaned up pretty well stuck again. So, it's torn down again at the moment to replace with a new OEM piece. While I have a lot of the shielding off to put new clamps on the turbo drain, I want to know if the DP and UP worth it? More than likely I'm going to go catted since I don't want it excessively louder than what it is, but wanting to cure the well known problems that exists, along with the weight, and bulkiness in itself. Is it worth the money, what's the typical whp gains, and overall driveability/reliability of the car afterwards? As far as the DownPipes, are there any benefits with the divorced DP and the standard DP? At the moment I'll be keeping some type of recirculating BOV. May upgrade once tuning, but don't plan to vent to the atmosphere. Understand that the FP may have to get upgraded, but hopefully you can tell me yes or no. But the car will not see E85, and only pump 93.... Will the Injectors be enough for those few boltons? 2019 STI Base & thank you in advance for any info provided.

If you ever get exhaust clips you're not happy with due to the mic or whatever, you can always edit the audio it in adobe audition or even audacity and use hard limiter to increase volume input and mess with EQ to change the sound till it sounds like what you hear in person that way the clip doesn't feel like a waste!

I always had a catted dp. It's nice to have exhaust that doesn't give you a headache and feel like brain damage. I also feel like catless equal length header makes my car sound like a clapped out honda at take off. Header might be another think to look at if yoy want it louder for unequal length and a bigger turbo will also make it louder.
