The FI Exhaust system has valves that can be controlled via a remote or the FI app. I use the FI app to open and close the valves with the push of a button.

@@NEMotoGuy that’s awesome. Thanks for the info and reply!

Nice, that's crazy fast. Yea, I was overly excited since this really was my first time at a "drag" strip and running/launching. I was very happy with the numbers. I can only imagine how fun your setup is to drive.

Noted, thanks for the feedback! I ran out of "safe" spots to film/launch the car, so I did what I could. I will get some new videos out soon with better high throttle drives to catch the screaming sound of this engine/exhaust combo. Cheers!

Yea, I did a video where I compared the new Type S to the GRC. Nothing can compete with a Honda six speed. The Type R/S is just unbelievable. Between the gear linkage/shifter feel and general clutch actuation its just perfect. Similar to the S2K.

Eyy glad you enjoyed the video! Was definitely fun driving this in the snow!

Interesting, never really noticed it tbh. On light throttle it just sounds like it’s taking air in as if a flap is half open if it makes sense? Never really noticed any lagging or issues with the engine when this occurs though. Have you noticed anything concerning?

@@NEMotoGuy hmm, try keep an ear out and listen for it, its a very slight surge. its kinda like once you hear it you cant unhear it

@@anthonyduong4248 I'm gonna go for a cruise shortly, I will keep an ear out and see if I can hear it.

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.

Between the CVT and the 140hp engine, can’t expect anything special lol. The current gen Crosstrek comes with the 2.5 so it’s got more power/tq, and should be a bit better. I really wish Subaru would throw in the 2.4t into this. I think it would be great.

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.

@@NEMotoGuy does it drone? if so what rpm?

@@morebrainmoregains3234 doesn’t really drone, but when the valves are open and windows are all up some plastics in the interior tend to vibrate. But during cruising speeds in general, I honestly don’t experience any drone. And if it ever gets bad or too loud for anyone you can always hit the valves with a push of a button and it gets very calm/quiet like OEM.

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.
