Our most humble friends at Rallysport had this used J pipe sitting around that they sent over. SO why not toss it on our 2023 Subaru WRX. We're headed over to Bader built soon to get a tune slapped on this thing. NOW there is something is want to warn you of and that Is J pipe studs. I WARN YOU NOW THAT THEY WILL MORE THAN LIKELY STRIP. ORDER EXTRA STUDS AHEAD OF TIME, HAVE NUT EXTRACTORS, A TORCH. Literally, anything to help you remove destroyed studs because I can almost promise it'll happen. But overall pretty happy with how this thing came out.

I'm with ya Tanner! I bought a creeper about 10+ years ago and it just sits in my garage collecting dust. When you work on rusty cars in the midwest, almost every nut and bolt is a struggle. Try putting all of your force into rusty fasteners and not push yourself all over the place on the creeper thus losing your effectiveness. Put your feet down as much as you want, you're still rolling all over the place. I'm with the other guy.. Cardboard is the best. That, or lift 😅

I love those wheels. They really help tie in the curves and notches of the '23 WRX. *PS* I spray PB Blaster on a whole day before removing exhaust stuff. And since I've done that... not a single broken bolt that still had recognizable threads. Upon re-installation I like to use a mix of super high temp grease and anti-seize. Snug em up good, fire up the car and warm it up, and than re-check each fastener that is under heat stress areas.

As well as my years of working on american V8s (the horror stories of header and X/H pipe bolts is endless) and the midwest with it's salt an corrosion, you may have to PB blast once a day for a week to make sure it's creeped as far as it can go, but it works. This has been my SOP for exhaust for at least 15 years now. Night before, spray it on, just before working on it, give another quick spray, should pop loose.

I have a 2018 fa20 and I just recently swapped my catless for my catted one and one of the grimspeed titanium studs did exactly what yours did. Had to drill the stud out and completely rethread the turbo. I think the culprit to this is no flex pipe from the turbo to the hard mount exhaust hanger. Vibrations and scraping the ground I think just wrecks the threads in some cases.

I can't remember who make it & I think I got mine off a Cornwell Truck but someone makes a die kit in both SAE & Metric that has a hinged die that you can spread apart and install at the base of the stud where the good threads are, use the removal tool it comes with which is much like the tool for a die amd back the tool off from good threads to the damaged threads. It does a really nice job at cleaning the threads and you don't need to worry about cross threading.. Look into it, its not a tool truck brand and I'm sure u can find elsewhere..

Hey man I also have the AWE touring on my 22 vb. Does yours leak water at the slip fit connections from condensation and sut as well? Mine has left a black stain over a few months from warming it up at one slip fit but the others are clear water drops. Also on a cold start I can feel air from the slip fit closest to the intermediate pipe. I’ve tightened them down now twice and being tight enough isn’t that issue and I’ve rotated them 45 degrees like awe said and yet still a slight leak.

What OEM turbo model does the FA24 run?

I'm not 100 % sure on model, but I know it's a Garrett

@@Smeedia ah OK. Would be curious to know if they are running the same one as previous, the stock FA20 came with the Garrett MGT2259S.

I live in the city and couldn’t stand driving a manual and can’t afford two cars at once so I traded my ‘11 wrx for a ‘21 GTI DSG. I love this car so much, but miss the WRX 😢

Hm... I dropped the headers, turbo and Jpipe all at once. So .... Easy on the fa20/FA24 vs just Jpipe. I honestly think that's how Subaru installs it. I also did new headers and cleaned my oil pickup tube though, let me tell you there was RTV like all the other videos.

@Smeedia 9 ай бұрын

I feel like I should probably drop mine 😅 I didn't want to lose coolant or oil. If I end up dropping the manifold, I feel like it would be the best time to swap headers.
