  • Subaru WRX CVT Loud Exhaust | Track Tuned and Modified | Automatic Transmission
    It was my first time driving an Automatic Subaru, and I must say it was a treat and pretty fast for an automatic.
    (Edit) After some recent events regarding the owner of this Subaru I have decided to remove anything related to him. All the parts from this car are from a shop in Ontario Canada, called PDM auto. They have pretty much sponsored this built.

      Brandon Kiyota they have a bad assumption that autos are slow, and I dont agree with it. Most supercars run on automatic. Autos are known to he fast, modern automatics. The thing with manual is that it is ageless. If the RS came with dct - i would have bought it.

    I have a CVT WRX and it's pretty fun to drive, and with just intake, exhaust and tune, it hits all the dopamine spots. My only concern is that wanting more power than stage 1+ would pose a serious risk for the CVT since it can't handle more than 320 wtq on the stock powertrain, so you'd have to spend lots of time and money to upgrade the torque converter and CVT internals.

    • @CarltonDry
      @CarltonDry Před 11 měsíci +2

      I have a CVT WRX also, I have been looking into getting a louder exhaust because I do want that classic subie rumble, does the CVT give that or does it make it sound different?

    • @jeffreyxing7177
      @jeffreyxing7177 Před 11 měsíci

      @@CarltonDry The only difference the CVT has from the MT in terms of sound is the inherent constant-RPM drone that CVTs make, otherwise both sound the same with the same exhaust setup (pops and crackles too). However, if you give more than 30% throttle on S mode (40% on I mode) then the CVT starts to simulate gearing by holding the gear ratios to the same as that of the MT and shifting up when necessary. You can also just use manual mode with the paddle shifters, and that would sound the same as MT except for faster shifts.

      I was in the same boat. Wife can’t drive stick. As much as I wanted a manual, I bought the cvt. I already have a manual frs so I could make the compromise. Cvt is Fun! Easy to launch and sport # mode is a blast. Downshifting is a better experience than manual because you can do it so much faster. Main draw back is the exhaust noise is different from manual. Manual crackles more. Cvt crackles very rarely on downshift at very high rpm only with after market exhaust.

    As manual car guy I have to admit you cannot change faster than a computer. For the city driving, "clutch in clutch out", can get tiring. The younger guys won't agree with this, wait till age catches up with you and all that manual driving for many years in a dense city will get tiring especially if you have a busy schedual. Professional race cars either have semi automatic transmissions/sequential or auto transmissions. It is very rare to see manual cars in high professional racing except nascar but even there they don,t change gears alot.

I've owned it since 10,000 miles, so basically new. Been almost a year now, and I absolutely love it. It's true though, at 40 now I guess I'm just tired of shifting?

      Don't think it's possible to change it too much at all, unless they tune the belt to change to solid ratios just to mimic a normal automatic, but it'd probably wear the belt quicker and cause other problems. It's basically the whole design of a cvt, it's in the name. Annoying drone sounds in autos under acceleration come from the lack of constantly changing rpm under load, that little but of slippage creates not pleasant sounds

    Hmm Subaru should just borrow Nissan GT-R35 transmission for the up coming 2023 WRX / WRX ST-i 2DRC (2Dual Rally Clutch) with the newly 400HP engine and call it's an day. While discard/drops the "Sport CVT transmission," it belt SUX" because it will slips and not made to handles 400whp to the wheels. Hey, Subaru we want an new engine with R35 high performance dual or quad clutch transmission, then it worth the new car price and worth the waiting hype ;).

      I was wondering the same thing haha, I make 280 wtq with only an intake and a slightly aggressive tune, so I think his tuner went super conservative to preserve the CVT, which still sucks for being FBO. Unless he upgrades his torque converter and CVT internals, he'll never make more than 300 wtq.

    Is it just me or does the exhaust note on CVTs sound different ? I've had an sti back in the days and have heard lots of exhaust notes from rexys. This just doesn't sound the same. I thought it was only this video so I did a bit of searching for cvt wrx exhaust notes and they all sound a little weird. I know different exhaust have slightly different sounds but they all have something in common which is the rumble. The CVTs just don't seem to have it.

    I have a WRX with CVT - first WRX I brought with a non-manual transmission.....and I love it. Its actually pretty fun to speed down the street. My WRX is NOT a manual and I don't care. That just leaves my spare foot and hand to tap to the music that I can play in mine without worrying about using it to shift. Perhaps when the warranty is up, I'll consider a gearbox swap to a 9 or 10 speed.
    These anti-automatic protesters are nothing more than a bunch overly conservative twits in the car community who get outraged all because they can't accept the fact that manual just isn't the superior transmission anymore and that it's almost dead. True gearheads? More like Karens in the car community.
