Catback Exhaust - 2017-23 Impreza Wagon - Executive 5" Muffler - Single Exit - 3" Double Wall Tip

The Impreza catback that is just right:  Goldilocks ran a 5" Muffler.  

It's time for more sound, your old ratty factory midpipe is starting to devolve into its orignal elements by way of oxidization, and you're looking for the perfect balance between manageable around town and rowdy when you're at full throttle?  You're in the right place.  

Give your rusty factory catback a break and swap it out for a TIG welded stainless system that is made entirely in the USA. This muffled catback is painstakingly fabricated and hand TIG welded from the center resonator through the 5" ceramic woold packed muffler and out the  3" double wall exhaust tip out the back.  What's better?  The midpipe gives you better ground clearance than OEM and the axleback fits with the majority of trailer hitches on the market.  This configuration is our executive oversized 5" muffler for a warm rich sound signature that keeps things tame around town but isn't afraid to bark at wide open throttle.  Other configuraitons available feature smaller mufflers, no mufflers or drone cancelling solutions - check them out on the Main 2017-2023 Impreza Page.

Benefits:

• Improved Ground Clearance: The midpipe in this catback is designed to tuck under the car better than factory for added ground clearance on lowered vehicles or adventures off road. 
• Stainless Construction:  No more wondering how many more days your factory resonator will last before it showers your plastic fuel tank with hot exhaust gas.  Our parts feature real T304 certified stainless, not the cut rate stuff other brands often substitute.  Longevity against the elements just leveled up!
• Glorious sound:  With a warm tone at cruise and the occasional pop and crackle on rev-matched downshifting, this muffled system gives you the most breadth of sound of any of our exhausts.  Keep your foot light, it's warm and low key.  Stomp the throttle, it comes to life.  Want something more rowdy?  We offer those, too.  
• Great Looks: Our hand finished brushed stainless tip is a tailored finishing touch that is easy to maintain and keep clean with scotch brite - easy to maintain - no museum white gloves required and no worries about scratching the polished finish if you want to wipe them off while you're getting gas.  

Features:

• Factory Fit: Just what it says - this system bolts right up, features a conical mount at the front to work with the factory style ball joint gasket at the header, and the axleback can be swapped out for any other configuration including the factory parts.  All modular.   
• Latch-Over V-Band Connections:  IYKYK, if not, these flanges are a stainless ring with tapered shoulders and a latching clamp that seals it all together. No loose hardware to fuss with.  Our proprietary design features a longer than standard flange length to prevent warping during the weld process and feature a nested ledge for perfect seal and flow.  
• Easy Installation:  The axleback is a 15 minute install, tops, midpipe requires jackstands and a jack or a lift to access under the car, but the install is just five bolts and one hanger.  Easy adjustment using our clockable front segment of the midpipe to achieve perfect fit on the car.
• Configurable Look:  Our systems are fully modular, you can build this catback by starting with the axleback section first and adding a midpipe.  And we offer 3 different styles of axleback options from our turndown factory style, to this single exit all the way up to our quad exit options. 
• Configurable Sound: You thought 3 styles of exhaust was cool?  We have a variety of sound levels in each of those.  This system features our Executive 5" muffler - the best of both worlds with easy to manage sound at cruise and low throttle angle, and a nice bark at wide open throttle, but we also have a rowdier muffler delete catback, oversized executive muffler for quieter sound outside the car, and our dual chamber that cancels drone inside the car.  
• Best Value For Money:  It's easy to get swayed by low prices, but paying 2/3rds as much as the best and getting 1/3rd of the quality and sound is a false economy.  Take your time. Like Ricky Bobby says, "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten."  Maybe it was Ben Franklin, we digress.

Recommended Add-Ons:

Exhaust Hanger Bushings

Upgrading to our long lasting Nameless Performance urethane exhaust bushings from the factory rubber bushings is highly recommended. The softer rubber factory bushings have too much flex and if you race your car or enjoy spirited driving the exhaust "wags" left to right which sometimes causes noise or the tips to touch the rear bumper on Crosstrek and Impreza applications. When this happens there is a chance your bumper can be damage or if you have a hitch or any other accessories can cause annoying sounds. The best way to avoid this is to use our urethane exhaust bushings to hold the exhaust in place. These upgraded bushings are not necessary to install our exhaust systems but for the small cost of upgraded units, it is an excellent idea! prevents common exhaust sag issues.

• 2 Bushings: Replace 2 rubber bushings on the axleback portion of the exhaust (third bushing is replaced with our three hole bushing, included with the single exit axleback exhaust).
• 2 Bushings: Replace 2 rubber bushings on the axleback portion of the exhaust (third bushing is replaced with our three hole bushing, included with the single exit axleback exhaust) as well as the single bushing on the midpipe.
