Oh yes you can. It's very loud from in and outside of the cabin. There are many times when I drive by people walking on the side walk and they hear the loud flutter and break their necks looking at the car lol.

I can, but this video is also with the mic in the engine bay. There might be a lot of wind noise if I film from outside. I can do some drive by shots, that would sound clear.

Yes, I have another car I use as a daily. That, along with the fact that I work remotely so commuting is becoming less.

Oh nice congrats! Any reason why you're moving from a core to a CE?

Clutch pressure is pretty good tbh. It's not too stiff, and definitely not soft like the Type R or Type S. You can rest your heel on the floor, that is definitely not an issue. Shifter is nice and crisp. It is medium in heft feeling. No wiggle at all, it is a sharp, precise shifter and the throws are not too long and are smooth.

You do not need a tune for this intake. Been running it on the car for months and thousands of miles without a single issue or CEL, and car has been running great. A tune is always more efficient and helpful, but not necessarily needed.

No no, finding an exhaust to your liking definitely isn't easy. Sometimes it takes a while, but you're definitely not alone here. I know it's hard, but hearing these in person with aftermarket exhaust really help. If you can find anyone locally that has one, definitely see if you can check it out.

With the valve open it can get pretty loud, at least a bit more vibrations can be heard/felt in the cabin with the valve open. From the outside it is definitely louder with the valve open versus stock.

I usually wait until the cars revs drop to normal idle. That usually takes about 30 seconds. Then I drive normally until temps get to appropriate levels.

Hey!

Local shops that are certified FI Exhaust dealer should be able to arrange a sale for you.

Still no CEL. Just hit 4500 miles and car is running strong with no issues from the intake and no tune.

So does the intake say no tune required because u can get away with it on the wrx because of the accessport and as of right now there’s no Ap for the Gr I’m getting mine soon and doing homework I would really recommend a tune with any after market intake unless the dimensions are the same size and everything

@@teddygunzbarno2102 A tune will always be best. However, you do not require a tune with this intake. I have been running it for months and almost 3K miles and not a single CEL or issue so far.

@@NEMotoGuy if this is the case why is everyone and there mother getting Cel it definitely requires a tune I know for a fact that intake makes the car run rich a tiny bit

@@teddygunzbarno2102 I don’t think everyone is having CEL issues. The company also came out with a fix months ago for this. I’ve been running the intake for awhile and still no issues or CEL, I don’t know what to tell you. I know Eventuri is the intake that everyone is getting CEL and having issues, but not MST. Like I said tunes will always be better, but it’s not needed for this intake.

I have the install video on my channel if you are interested in seeing that. No CEL, since this is strictly a catback only right now. I do have a catted downpipe from them as well, but waiting for the tune before installing that.

No BOV, just the stock BPV and the MST intake. It’s loud right?! The flutter sounds insane in person! I love it!

Its the FI Exhaust Catback system with the valves in the rear. I have a downpipe from them going on soon. But this is just a catback.

😆😆 FACTS

🤣🙌

They should have pricing, that is strange. They typically sell through dealers and not directly through them, that might be why. The exhaust can range anywhere from $3K-$5K depending on how you spec it and if you get a DP/custom tips/key etc.

Glad to hear that! It's comments like these that give me hope to come back to Audi one day soon!

Thank you! All the vents and gloss black grill/inserts I left gloss and they were not wrapped. Figured its cheap and easy to replace if anything happens with those. The only gloss area I wrapped was the rear CE wing in a couple areas in the stealth ppf. Gave the car a bit more of an even/clean look.

@@NEMotoGuy thanks for the reply sir! I can’t wait, my appointments on the 9th of May. I’m going to keep all the gloss bits glossy if they do PPF or keep them naked. I’m also planning on making the roof glossy too to really show off the carbon.

@@mags3376 Anytime! I am actually curious how the white will look in stealth! Forgot to mention my roof is in the stealth ppf as well. I wanted to keep the forged carbon natural matte look. I have seen some in gloss ppf and it look excellent!

@@NEMotoGuyhey man! Did the shop have to remove the “Corolla” badge to PPF it! Or did they just go around it?

@@mags3376 They did not remove them. I just had them go around them, and honestly you can't even tell.

Coming up on one year now, and the seats are mint. I make sure to enter and exit the vehicle carefully. Try to avoid just sliding in and putting wear on the side bolstering. I also don't track like crazy so not putting to much strain on the bolstering. Overall the seats look/feel like brand new still.

No one said anything about super high quality resolution being needed. But the backup cam is incredibly blurry and awful for a car to be a daily. Why is that such a bad thing to hate on? If the car is costing $43K+, then even the cheapest camera quality is high quality, so why skimp out.

@@NEMotoGuy don’t know why you’re crying then 🤷🏻‍♂️

Who’s crying? Are you even watching the video or reading my comment? Clearly not 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@NEMotoGuy do better 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@onth3hous3 already doing great 👍🏼

Correct, smallest in the US at least.

Honestly im surprised its not loud enough for you? My catted turbo-back was pretty loud when the valves were open. A catless DP alone should be loud, and tomei is known for being loud, especially the titanium material. Not really sure I can suggest anything better/louder unless you just straight pipe the car with no cats/resonators. Pretty much remove the muffler at that point?

Haha heck yea!! Ugh the damn POTHOLES!! Good thing I didn’t swap my winter tires, cuz what’s this about a nor’easter coming now?!?

Congrats on the car!! The stock system when the valve opens up while driving at higher rpm/throttle input it is a tad bit louder, but nothing insanely noticeable imo. The FI Exhaust system I have on the car however, is MUCH louder when the valve is open. It sounds good, but the interior can vibrate slightly when on full throttle.

Hey welcome to the GRC family! Yes, it is completely normal during break in with manual transmission cars. It's just the clutch breaking in and burning off all the oils, etc. The engine is also still breaking in, so nothing to worry about. It should go away within the first 1,000 miles or so.

Sheeesh. Putting me to shame lol. I’m about to hit one year and 3800 miles lol

If it's possible to find one at a dealership to test drive, I highly recommend it. However, even if this would be your first MT vehicle to learn on, it is honestly very easy. Clutch and gearing is pretty easy to get used to and daily drive in traffic, etc. Not to mention it is very fun and rewarding when driving properly. The iMT is also very useful if you are not used to rev match downshifts.

Glad you enjoyed the video, and congrats on the new car! One of my favorite cars ever owned. Very smooth ride and just overall great car.

LOL not sure what you are expecting from a rally 3-cyl. It sounds amazing stock, and the FI system makes it sound perfect!

@@NEMotoGuy Yea that came off a bit harsh, for what it is this is definitely one of the better exhausts, I just don't think I can do anything less than 5-cyl

@@LordOfOlympus No worries, everyone has their own opinion. For a 3-cyl it actually sounds amazing in person. I won't deny I miss the sound of the 6-cyl in my Supra at times.

If you watched the entire video, I state that none of these are deal breakers, just some inconveniences. To you it may be minor, but to people who actually buy the car, they can be very annoying. Thanks for watching.

@@NEMotoGuyI have one, and your points are insignificant compared to other concerns. Like I said sell it

@@deancane9298 Again, you clearly didn't watch the full video where I note multiple times that none of these issues are deal breakers. Apparently "Sell it" is all you have your vocabulary. These points may be insignificant to you, but not to many. They are still issues. I think you are taking it personally because you clearly don't like anyone having issues with things you own/like. Cheers.

Woo congrats!!

lol I know how to engine brake. I also know that replacing brakes are cheaper and easier than replacing a clutch and transmission.

Love to hear it! Yea, I am planning on going on a couple rallies this year and really put some miles on the car! I love this car!

Eyy congrats on the GRC! Getting the official arrival date is big! I was hoping to make a video of driving the Mazda 3 in the snow, but the storms ended too soon lol. From the 2+ years of owning and driving the Mazda 3 in the snow, overall it did great with no issues or getting stuck. Granted we never drove when there was a heavy storm or blizzard, so I can't speak to those levels of performance. The good thing about the Mazda 3 Turbo AWD is that from factory they come with 215 wide wheels/tires that are all season. So this is perfect for cutting through snow. The only thing with the Mazda 3 I will note is the ride height/clearance is pretty low. Comparing it to the GRC its very low. With winter tires the GRC felt unstoppable! I was very confident no matter where I ended up or how much snow was accumulating. Between the AWD, fairly thing snow tires, and the rally-ish ride height the GRC is a BEAST!

From what I noticed, the water just pools towards the front of the box area. The filter/intake itself always seemed dry. This really only happens when the car is just sitting there for hours and its raining hard. I usually keep a rag and dry up the pool before starting the car up. MST did come out with a box solution for the intake. I think it's going to be available very soon.

No tune required. I have been running the intake without a tune for months now and well over 2K miles. Not a single CEL or issue (knock on wood). A tune would however make the intake more efficient as far as power gains, etc.

@@NEMotoGuygreat , but without tune this would damage the engine in future. As per my understanding, installing after market intake required a tune so the engine could read there is a change in airflow reading. Please correct me if I’m mistaken

@@alsharjishwain2170 I have been running the intake without a tune for months now, almost 3K miles without a single issue. The intake incorporates the OEM MAF sensor so the ECU is able to read and properly record/address the increased airflow/cooling from the intake. I don't believe this will cause any engine issues in the long term.

Really not bad at all. It’s fairly light. If you’ve driven a civic si/type r it’s stiffer than those. I have been daily driving mine. It’s not bad. It’s more of the annoyance of driving MT in heavy traffic that would be the issue. So far I really haven’t been stuck in bumper to bumper to notice if the clutch use gets annoying.
