Cobb 02-07 WRX/STi Catback Exhaust
The Cobb Catback Exhaust (MPN 512100) replaces the factory system from the catalytic converter rearward on 2002-2007 Subaru Impreza WRX and STI models. This bolt-on upgrade features 3-inch mandrel-bent T304 stainless steel piping that reduces backpressure for measurable horsepower and torque increases across the RPM range. Drivers experience sharper throttle response, reduced weight, and a refined aggressive exhaust tone without interior drone.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel Build: Full construction from premium 304-grade stainless resists corrosion and endures high-heat conditions for long-term reliability.
- 3-Inch Mandrel-Bent Piping: Smooth bends maintain exhaust velocity, minimizing turbulence to unlock 10-15 wheel horsepower gains on stock or tuned engines.
- Lightweight Design: At 32 lbs, sheds over 15 lbs from stock setup to improve handling, acceleration, and fuel efficiency.
- High-Flow Muffler: Oversized 12x9x18-inch chamber with perforated core quiets harsh tones while amplifying deep WRX/STI rumble.
- Dual 4-Inch Slash-Cut Tips: Polished finish adds visual style, positioned for optimal flow and ground clearance.
Product Notes
- Preserves factory catalytic converter and O2 sensor locations for emissions compliance where applicable.
- Clean with mild soap avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain finish.
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
