Making my WRX LOUD!

[@omarshafee]

Sounds good and looks good too… I’m now an STI owner and I’m definitely learning about the car more thanks to you bro. I have very similar ideas of what I would like to do with mine. Cheers!

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

Happy to hear I can help with your journey, enjoy the STI 🤙

[@ianholmquist8492]

Except any exhaust sounds good on an sti. FA20/24 just sounds busted with an exhaust on.

[@Specter57]

Car is coming together piece by piece, can't wait to see what she'll look like during the start of the track day season next year.

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

Thanks for watching all the videos!

[@PyroVulpes]

It's funny, I don't really care for the AWE exhausts for the STI, but I think their FA20 exhausts sound really good. It's hard to judge loudness on a KZbin video, but the tone is just about perfect!

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

AWE has different designs for their STI and WRX touring editions so that would make sense. The track edition is the same since there is no mufflers so at that point it just comes down to EJ vs FA exhaust notes

[@paulmarsdensr1095]

My 2020 STI that purchased in January this year had low miles and a muffler delete. I love it and I don't have to do anything. Subies I and a great video brother.

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

sometimes a simple exhaust is the best answer like a muffler delete! Thanks for always watching my videos Paul

[@paulmarsdensr1095]

@Foster Johnson Media No problem brother. You are really turning that WRX into a great car. I can't wait to see your videos on all of the rust under the car. What coilovers should I put on my 2020 STI? What brand of coilovers? Thanks for being a wealth of information for all of us in the subie community.

I've had the AWE Track for most the year now, def my favorite exhaust. I was also lucky enough to of been able to pick it up used for $600

[@xil3ntkha0s]

Any leaks? I heard they are prone to those due to the type of connectors.

[@OvernightCrew]

@@xil3ntkha0s Not that i've noticed!

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

Wow $600 is a great price! So far no leaks with mine, you just have to made sure the clamps are tightened properly

[@xil3ntkha0s]

@@OvernightCrew Ok I'm looking at the touring version to replace the ETS 'quiet' I have. Not sure if there will be any difference in sound between the two though.

[@OvernightCrew]

@@xil3ntkha0s the touring is definitely quieter than the track if that’s what you mean? The track isn’t stupid loud though

[@TDT0188]

Spotted you northbound on MLK this morning from a water works truck. Small world Iowa lol.

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

You live in Des Moines too?!

[@TDT0188]

@@FosterJohnsonMedia aye! I looked over and I was like " I recognize that car!"

[@xil3ntkha0s]

I’m jealous you can get away with a muffler delete. In Commiefornia that’s just asking to be pulled over by local PD with nothing better to do. Sounds good without being that loud though! Until you tune it with that jpipe lol

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

Yeah I know it will probably be too loud once I do the j-pipe. But for now I’m enjoying it! Lol

[@CnBKudi]

the wrx cab is surprisingly quiet even with the awe track unless you’re romping

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

[@MorganBrown]

Like it! Looking forward to the j pipe video and how much it helps your power

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

I’ve been putting it off because I know it’s going to be a miserable project…lmao!

[@jasonkimble8926]

Do you know anything about the ,afe exhaust?

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

not too much, the Takeda system seems nice but they are pretty rare so I've never seen one in person

[@bairdtownsend6546]

I used to think a straight-pipe catback would be too loud for me, so I got an Invidia R400. I thought "this isn't so bad!" Then I wanted more power, so I got a downpipe, which really woke the sound up. Now I think "this isn't so bad!" I adjusted to a new normal. I also now think a straight-pipe catback is too quiet (for me) 💀 Regardless of what anyone has to say about it, I hope YOU like it, Foster!

[@Specter57]

Wait until you get some headers.

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

Yup exactly, it’s the same with power. Most the time you just get used to it as your new “normal” and then its fun to switch it up!

[@notwebster]

at 5:17 idk if it is the camera angle or something but your rear wheel may have an indent? could be wrong though just looking out

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

🤫 yes one is dented. haha. I’m very impressed you noticed!

[@thatoneguy9842]

Very nice 👍

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

It’s no rumble, but I do really like the sound of the FA20DIT

[@GSekong]

shoulda stuck with the awe touring, once you open up the rest of the exhaust, its gonna be way too raspy and loud

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

You are probably right! I did think about that but oh well I’ll give it a try

[@GSekong]

@@FosterJohnsonMedia and plus i think the awe touring has the best tone for wrx and sti, despite less volume

[@blakeransford791]

Foster! Want to sell your old exhaust? I’m in Des Moines and can swing by and get it asap

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

Sorry just saw this, unfortunately I can’t sell it because it is not mine I was just borrowing it

[@alexvargas4114]

How you feel bout kevin getting fired?

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

Gutted. He is one of my best friends. but the decision was not mine to make.

[@faascencio]

Side skirts and rear diffuser please.😊

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

It’s like you read my mind!! coming real soon

[@lasvegasoutlaw13]

I’m probably the only person that likes the straight pipe sound on my wrx😬🤦🏽‍♂️

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

Loud and proud!

[@faascencio]

I guess rust proofing doesn’t exist in your part of town……..sucks to see her like that.

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

I unfortunately got the car after most of the damage had been done :-/ but my plan is to restore it the best I can

[@chefmanzo8820]

Cat delete

[@FosterJohnsonMedia]

but I like cats, and dogs too! 😆
