It's a bit hard to convey over video, but the modified exhaust sounds a lot better in person, especially for daily driving!

Agreed!

Facts

Yes, but now it has a richer tone to it. The side skirts were a strange design choice, especially when the VA chassis had them painted, But people will come around, or they will get them painted to match.😎

@@GrimmSpeed is it weird I like the black underskirts? I just like the color dynamic all the black brings even with the fenders

@@thurm0033 i'm with you, i bought this car a couple days ago just because of how much this whole car actually looks good to me. i love what they did with the shape and panels, but maybe i'm biased because i still think the va is the worst looking wrx lol.

Me and my buddy just got our 22 premiums M6’s. The rear cladding I am liking more simply because it provides good defense against parking the car and someone coming too close or what not. Some folks have painted the rear choosing just the outlines with body color and it completely changes the look.

We are keeping that in mind!

We need more exhaust options for Gen 6 OBXTs! Currently only one company offers an aftermarket catback.

More to come!

The camera mics don't do it justice. In person sounds deeper and richer. Especially in-car.

We are local to Minnesota! Stop by the shop if your in the area!

Isn’t the gt version kinda like an sti? I’m new to Subaru so I wouldn’t know

@@thurm0033 welcome!! GT is priced like an STi and that’s where the similarities end…LOL. GT is same power output as WRX, CVT transmission only and adaptive suspension with Recaro seats.

@@justdrive7317 a “GT” with Recaro seats and a CVT 🫠

Thank you and Welcome! Hope you like which ever part you purchased!

Interesting take. Nothing like good ole childhood nostalgia.

Appreciate the positive feedback!

Definitely! We'll be developing a GS header eventually!

🤐

Thanks, will do!

We are in the R&D process on the intake! So expect something soon!

@@GrimmSpeed I guess we have to wait on Cobb as well or will your new ones not need a tune? And if so do you know when cobb will be releasing the software for the 2022?

Us too!

We call our exhaust "The Gentleman's Exhaust" for the at exact reason.

Definitely over the VA WRX, but the modded catback sounds a LOT better in person.

Stock only sounds like that on cold start then it cools wayyy down. I'm excited for a new exhaust that sounds great, but doesn't sound too loud.

@@DylanVBWRX Yeh Im doing an oem + gentleman’s type build. Dont want the loud obnoxious coffee can style jdm exhaust but want a bit more throaty & deeper sound

@@GenZBiker 100% same boat I'm 30 can't do loud anymore 😂

Congrats on the purchase! No tune required for either of those options. Catback will get you the most noticeable change.

Im also interested in this lol highly

We'll definitely be testing that out soon!

@@GrimmSpeed thanks for responding to my comment! I love the sound on the 2015-21 wrx and I would love to have this same sound on my new 2022 when it arrives. Hoping that it fits!

Agreed!

Awesome! The 22 WRX is a pretty solid choice. We are happy with ours. As more and more companies start releasing parts the 22 is gonna become a more popular tuning platform. Catback is currently in development!

Im with ya on that lol

😏

the axleback portion of our catback did fit up nicely, although we'll likely be making some small tweaks for the actual production run.

We made it work, but with a production design some changes need to be made.

Thanks! We agree!

Agreed, the camera mic doesn't do justice.

We may do something like that for the rear bumper. Still deciding.

It's so big you can see it from space!

In development stages!

@@GrimmSpeed I'll be waiting and saving!!! Try to make it sound sweet for $1,000 please!!

If you're talking about the OE catback, I do believe that's a small resonator.

It's a thing of beauty. So aerodynamic!

That would be AMAZING, we've been craving a WRX hatch in the U.S. since 2014; make it happen Subaru!!

That’s because your a ricer.

How is it? I manufacture ordered mine, in world rally blue. Arrives in July 😢😢😢

It’s early for that.

😅

Good question, They are similar, but not exactly the same.

@@GrimmSpeed How much similar are the VA and VB pipes after the rear axel?

In this video we used one of our VA catback systems and modified it to fit the new VB chassis. It’s louder with a more refined tone. Our engineer are working to create an exhaust specially for the new chassis. This was just a test to see what kind of sound the car is capable of making.

That is purely the factory WRX exhaust!

Thank you

Yes! give it time. The aftermarket will deliver!

😭

No hard release date yet. Our engineering team is working on prototype units as we speak. It will take some time to get to production.

We are planning to take the car to the Dyno soon!

Good question, but one we don’t have the answer to quite yet.

It'll definitely open up once we get a GS J-Pipe on!

Yes sir!

Will you guys be doing uel headers at some point?

Really depends on what the goal is. 22's are nice but still a lot of work to get them to where you would want it. GT's only come in auto, if that's your thing. 21 STI... better start looking now, because they are going to jump in price over time and probably be pretty hard to get your hands on one.

@@GrimmSpeed Definitely where my head is at. What is the absolute best years sti to get for aftermarket options? Basically, if you could only have 1 subi for the rest of your life which would it be?

Thanks David, it'll definitely open up once we get a GS J-Pipe on!

We are excited to get the engineers working on the project. They should be able to refine the tone even more.

It'll definitely open up once we get a GS J-Pipe on!

We prefer the painted look.

Someone will mock up unequal length headers. Not sure how well itll perform under a tune though.

It'll definitely open up once we get a GS J-Pipe on!

@@GrimmSpeed I'm down to buy a stage 2 or 3 if and once that's available!, would love if you guys were to offer an e tunes.

😂

They are not interchangeable. Some minor differences. Pipe routing, and size for the most part.

@@GrimmSpeed yall make that Muffler Delete yet or nah?

Yeah, seems like a lot of brands are designing their cars with the similar lines and styling these days...

There is a little meat on the bones!

Yeah. Everyone is pretty bummed out over that. We will have to make due with the WRX for the time being.

Absolutely!

A lot of people enjoy the change of tone, giving the car a more sporty feel. Yes, opening up the flow path is going to be the best way to make more power.

Yes it definitely sounds better with exhaust but it’s not worth $800-$1000. I rather get Cobb or down pipe instead

This was just a mockup of what the exhaust could sound like. When our engineers are done working their magic, it should have a more defined tone.

@@GrimmSpeed awesome to hear can’t wait to hear the final result

Haha, we actually paid them. Twice! In all seriousness It's not for everyone. But it does have some redeeming aspects to it. Its pretty great to drive. The interior quality compared to the VA is better. It's a pretty solid platform to start with. Give it time. Once the aftermarket has time to develop and innovate i think people will start to come around to the idea of actually liking these. On the other hand, with EPA cracking down on performance modification, we may see a decline in companies willing to spend the time on R&D for new performance products. It's a risky game and the industry is still struggling to figure out the next steps to take to continue pushing in a direction we all love and have a passion for. In the end, for now, we have to do what we can with the resources we have. We for one are welcoming this new platform. Whether we like it or not, these are the future and we have to do what we can to push forward. People hated the VA when they first came out. Now it's a beloved platform.

😎

@@GrimmSpeed 👍

Sounds great in person. Video doesn’t do it justice.

It's gonna happen. It has too.

It really looks terrible on the White car.

@@erikclarky123 Yea, i can deal with the cladding over the wheels, but that rear bumper just doesnt feel like it belongs there. It needs a redesign.

🤣 The bumper will be solved eventuality. We are excited to have our engineers tackle the VB exhaust. Should be a ton of room for improvement.

It is more pronounced on the white car for sure.

The hype over the Accessport was a bit overblown, tuning certainly isn't dead, although there will be hurdles that we didn't have to jump through before. This isn't the end of making good power on these cars!

@@GrimmSpeed Hope you explain this in future videos.

OoOf meaning good? Or oOoF meaning bad?
