This was 5 years ago now, I made 330hp and it never broke other than the wheel bearing and rear diff. I eventually converted it back to AWD and sold the car. In over 10 years was such a reliable car

The throttle controller only adjusts throttle sensitivity and does not affect the car any more than standard operation would :) it would not void warranty

Because the pipe going from 2 inch to 3 inch clashes on the header when you go over large bumps. The heat wrap cushions it if you do go over a large bump

Was it fully plugged in with the wiring harness? The diverter valve install worked right away no issues when I installed it. Have been running it now for months

It's great, I actually found it was a little quiet for my liking. Has a nice note to it and closed the valves are very quiet I have since upgraded the intermediate pipe and it makes it super handy to be able to shut the mufflers to not annoy me neighbors on cold start or late at night

Work d9rs I have a video on them a few back with specs :)

Thanks heaps! Dmaker grill, I have a vid a couple back on it :)

That's fair! I remember looking at the 350z when it came out and it was horrific to me, but now it looks normal and fine. It's always good for us all to have different styles so we aren't all the same 😎

I don't even scrape on driveways and entrances to shops whereas before it was pretty bad once I lowered the car haha so happy!

@@JoelBrownefilms you didn't seem lowered by that much either, I was surprised you got damage. Good info btw, as I want to lower my VB, and had no idea on this exhaust issue.

They do not :) I have been running without tune since the video no issues

Sick will look into this thanks heaps! 😎

Hey, im interested in how you made the turn signals work, do you have a video or instructions anywhere?

I would suspect without the varex valved exhausts it would. Because I can close the varex mufflers I find there is no drone on highways in the closed position. It is a heap louder than before though and I have to make sure I start my car with the varex closed or it will annoy the neighbours - still nothing as loud my old straight piped sti haha

In the closed closed position you can barely hear anything and open there's minimal drone. I later changed the intermediate pipe forward of the catback as well which has made it all a lot louder, but on the highway with the varex closed it's still quiet and the drone immediately goes away.

@@JoelBrownefilms is it acually not much louder then stock with the valve open from what some claim?

@@CRMAG87 it's not like the older generations where you got a pretty loud car. I think this is because the rumble is not as prevalent with this car having equal length headers. It's noticeable but. Stock is near silent. I am happy with the intermediate pipe deleting the second cat and this varex catback but I like my cars really loud

@@JoelBrownefilms yea loud is fine for me ut need drone free for the kid in the back seat.. as long as its drone free closed and actually louder then stock open ill be happy.

@@CRMAG87 yeah with just the catback it's got a bit of noise but nothing that is unbearable and with the valves closed it's almost stock sounding again

I know they are in the process of moving shop location so might affect their response time - I'm not sure but. The guys there are pretty nice and helpful and I'd expect they will reach out pretty soon if they haven't yet

Yep I removed that one and it sits nice :) I have a video about replacing the grill a few back on my channel go to 10 mins 15 seconds of that one and I go through it. Hopefully that helps! 🙏🏼

@@JoelBrownefilms Tried to do mine this morning, failed miserably. Watched back and fourth for how you unclipped the hinges from inside the bumper at approx 4:36. Was way to scared I would snap it and it felt like it didn't want to budge at all when trying. Ended up not commiting to doing it and throwing the bumper back on. At the end I also noticed I bought the wrong fuse tapper, a normal size not a mini so wouldn't of worked in the end. But after some tips, not sure I want to pay someone to do work along those lines. Will be sending it into the shop for short shifter and varex exhaust shortly but I figured the lights should be easy enough for myself to install like you did in the video. Cheers.

Thanks man, was a bit of a blessing in disguise at the end 🙏🏼

Stock to 100kmhr was 10.4. 85km was 7.7 stock

@@JoelBrownefilms why so slow?

@@matthewwain9958 could be a number of factors similar to dynoing a car. it was 40*C day, I didn't launch it. The test was replicated on the same day, same temperature and launched in a similar manner so regardless of the times or what the manufacturer is saying the test is proving that the mods worked

@@JoelBrownefilms I don't pretend to know this area of law. I was honestly talking about whatever the heck rights these scumbags get trying to use, abuse or steal someone else's property. Thanks for the info.

@@matthewwain9958 Its because he isn't destroying his car when he launches it. Manufacturer posted 0-60 times are launched without regard to the well being of the car lol, only thing that matters is the numbers.

Thanks so much for the support 🙏🏼

Love the look hey! It's nice having a big scoop in the line of vision again like the old wrx/sti. I have removed the grill from the scoop since as well and it looks really good 🙏🏼

Air cups would be super handy!

@@JoelBrownefilmsfor sure. Is there an IG account I can follow? Can share footage of my aircups.

@@TheBranjegan yeah man I'm not super active on IG but it's instagram.com/joelbrownefilms

@@JoelBrownefilmsPM sent

what aircups do you have? Thinking of going that route but dont know much about it

It's not a vent to the atmosphere, it replaces the stock diverter valve and is recirculated using the stock location. Just a change in the internals that doesn't immediately release pressure to lower boost dropoff in between shifts but still retains a vent to stop compressor surge

I got this one off eBay was a universal one but suited Subaru WRX hopefully the link works: www.ebay.com.au/itm/375076927705?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=IVaRwQadSQW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=_mgmN22QQU2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!

No need to do all that. You just need to a splice it into the turn signal wire of the LED harness. That’s what I did.

It's the EVC551 Ultimate Throttle Controller (Subaru WRX 2016-On)

Added some nostalgia haha

Hey! Yep still stock tuned at this stage only mods are intermediate pipe and catback exhaust. I haven't noticed any change in turbo noise, but in between gears the car does not just fall out of boost like it used to. There are less pops and bangs between gears from the exhaust with the diverter valve (only on wide open throttle) but I'm thinking it might be due to the factory one dumping all the boost on shift with the standard part. (Just a theory though)

@@JoelBrownefilms thanks for the fast reply! yeah I saw on some guys build that when they installed an intake. the stock diverter valve dont close fast enough and it results in a boost leak/drop. I dont wanna run a full on BOV either coz I heard it might make the car stall on idle

Thanks so much man I really appreciate it! 🙏🏼

Hey I kept at the height they came because it's a good height when the exhaust was hanging down - have a episode on that coming in a bit. Can go lower but. I haven't done a wheel alignment as yet but it needs one once it's where you like it

Previous video has the scoop install :) it comes with a foam tape to mount

If you look more closely the new ones actually do have some spots cut out near the top, hard to see but when they’re both on his floor, you can see the floor through the new vents toward the top of that section, but I’m thinking of cutting this section out on mine and seeing if I can route the intake there so I’m sucking outside air not engine bay air

This is a Dmaker paint matched mesh style grill :) I have a video a few back with the details if you'd like to see install

The throttle controller should in theory as it's no change to the ecu it's just a throttle sensitivity adjuster. GFB have pretty.good customer service so they'd be able to clear it up for the diverter :) sadly it doesn't have manual or CVT specific info on the paperwork for either so I'm not 100% sure I'm sorry

You didn’t happen to notice the DRL’s the Dmaker bezels have? Should’ve gone to spec savers mate.🤓

I appreciate it! Now that would be a pretty cool job haha

Thanks heaps! You might be able to get these Dmaker stuff through their site or eBay site if you want one. There's a couple styles as well was a hard choice haha

I lied. I have seen these apparently. Even thumbs upped some videos 😂 ADHD is a bitch

😆

Thanks so much! Keen for more mod updates soon!

Really changes the look hey!

Has got some Honda vibes as well. Def growing on me with more mods

No it doesn’t.😅😅

Haters gonna hate.

Thanks man 🙏🏼❤️
