2014-2018 Forester Exhaust

Optimize Your 2014-2018 Subaru Forester with Performance Exhaust Upgrades

Enhancing the exhaust system on your 2014-2018 Subaru Forester can improve sound, throttle response, and overall driving enjoyment. Whether you want to upgrade for performance or replace worn OEM parts, choosing the right exhaust components tailored to your Forester’s platform is essential for reliable results.

What does a cat-back exhaust system do for the 2014-2018 Forester?

A cat-back exhaust replaces the piping from the catalytic converter to the rear of the vehicle, improving exhaust flow and reducing backpressure. This upgrade can enhance your Forester’s engine efficiency and produce a more aggressive exhaust tone without requiring extensive modifications. Cat-back systems are designed to fit directly on your Forester, making installation straightforward.

  • Improves exhaust flow and reduces backpressure
  • Delivers a deeper, sportier exhaust sound
  • Maintains factory mounting points for easy installation
  • Supports better throttle response and engine efficiency

How do downpipes and headers affect Forester exhaust performance?

Downpipes and headers are critical components that influence how efficiently exhaust gases exit the engine. Upgrading these parts can significantly improve exhaust scavenging, reduce turbo lag (on turbocharged models), and increase power potential. Headers optimize the flow from the engine’s cylinders, while downpipes improve flow after the turbo or catalytic converter, both contributing to better performance and sound.
