Grimmspeed Gentleman’s Resonated Catback V2 2015-2021 WRX / 2015-2021 STI | Refined Tone | Performance Exhaust System
Overview
The Grimmspeed Gentleman’s Resonated Catback V2 is a meticulously engineered exhaust system designed specifically for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX and STI models. This version builds on the original gentleman’s exhaust concept, delivering a balanced and refined exhaust note that avoids drone while maintaining a strong, confident presence. It is ideal for enthusiasts who want a sophisticated sound profile without sacrificing performance or daily drivability.
Grimmspeed’s approach to this catback focuses on precision fitment, durability, and acoustic refinement. Key design updates include dual-overlapping slip fit connections and a dual-hanger mid-pipe that allow for greater adjustability and chassis-specific alignment. The upgraded muffler design features larger perforated cores and an improved Y-splitter to enhance flow, paired with long-lasting packing material that resists degradation over time. These engineering choices reflect Grimmspeed’s commitment to quality and performance for Subaru owners.
For Subaru enthusiasts planning additional exhaust modifications, the resonated mid-pipe version offers a smoother, more controlled sound as airflow increases throughout the system. This makes it a practical choice for those running supporting mods who want to maintain a clean exhaust tone without harshness or excessive drone. The use of premium 304 stainless steel and TIG welding ensures longevity and corrosion resistance, making this catback a reliable upgrade for both street and spirited driving.
