Turbo XS W22-FP-1C 304SS Front Pipe with High-Flow Cat for 2022–2025 Subaru WRX FA24DIT

The Turbo 3-inch 304 stainless steel front pipe replaces the restrictive factory downpipe on 2022–2025 Subaru WRX models with the FA24DIT 2.4L turbo engine, featuring a 300-cell high-flow metallic catalytic converter that dramatically reduces backpressure for dyno-proven gains of 25–35 wheel horsepower and 35–45 lb-ft of torque when paired with a Stage 2 tune. This direct bolt-on section eliminates the factory cat and secondary resonator for faster turbo spool and a deeper, more aggressive turbocharged soundtrack without drone.

Handcrafted from mandrel-bent T304 stainless steel with TIG welds and a reinforced flex section, the W22-FP-1C includes all gaskets and hardware for plug-and-play installation. The high-flow metallic cat maintains 49-state emissions compliance while flowing over 2x better than OEM, supporting 500+ HP builds with zero check-engine lights when properly tuned.

For 2022+ WRX owners demanding maximum flow, faster spool, and race-inspired sound with street legality, the Turbo XS W22-FP-1C is the ultimate front pipe upgrade trusted by Subaru tuners worldwide.

Connecting Pipes

Exhaust and intake connecting pipes bridge the gap between major system components, including the downpipe-to-mid-pipe junction, turbocharger outlet to intercooler, and intercooler to throttle body in forced induction systems. Quality connecting pipes in mandrel-bent aluminized steel or stainless steel maintain full internal diameter through every bend to preserve airflow and reduce backpressure.Popular UpgradesDownpipe-to-cat-back connecting pipes in 3-inch diameter aluminized or stainless steel are the most common exhaust connecting pipes, bridging between an upgraded downpipe and a cat-back system that may not align natively. Intercooler pipes in silicone-connected aluminum or stainless steel tubing are essential for routing boost pressure efficiently in turbocharged builds. Custom-length connecting pipes with slip-fit or v-band ends allow precise fitment in tight engine bays.What material is best for exhaust connecting pipes?Stainless steel connecting pipes offer the best long-t...
