Nameless Performance Axle Back Exhaust w/ 5" Mufflers 2018-2022 Ascent
Here, you are looking at the Nameless Performance axleback exhaust for the 2019+ Subaru Ascent.
Nameless was keen on getting and upgrading a Subaru Ascent and we were surprised at how much of the layout deviates from other later-model conventional Subaru's like the Legacy or WRX/STi. The axleback provided the standard opportunities to pick up some midrange torque and horsepower while bringing the tone back to an exhaust that otherwise has none. We were surprised at how quiet these vehicles are both without the exhaust as well as post-modification, and would highly advocate considering choosing the muffler delete if you don't have any plans to make any further modifications to the exhaust. We suspect the downpipe and the resonator in the factory midpipe heavily contribute to the overall sound level of the exhaust, so keep that in mind when choosing a muffler option.
This Subaru Ascent exhaust installs in a snap, just four bolts and four exhaust hanger bushings to remove the factory exhaust. Optionally install the upgraded exhaust with four of our standard urethane exhaust hanger bushings to more firmly hold the upgraded exhaust in place if you plan on overlanding or off-roading the vehicle substantially. Or if you just like upgrading things, which many of us here also enjoy doing. Your secret is safe with us.
Design Specifications:
CNC Mandrel Bent Tubing: Using an Ercolina CNC Mandrel Bender, Nameless bends all of the tubing for their exhaust systems in-house, and takes great care to control the bending process for high-flow function and attractive cosmetic appearance. All of the tubing features a #4 brushed finish, including the finish on the hand-built exhaust tips.
100% T304 Stainless Steel Construction, Precision Fabricated and Fitted Weldment: All Nameless exhaust systems start with superior in-house cutting and forming of all of the core components that go into the construction of the exhausts. And whether it's being painstakingly intolerant with sizing of mating parts to ensure a perfect weld, or taking the extra time to develop Go/No-Go fixturing and using a CNC press brake to ensure repeatable exhaust hanger positioning, we put in the extra effort so that you get a superior product.
Hand TiG Welded: A huge portion of what makes these exhaust systems the quality and look that our customers expect is that all of our systems are hand TIG welded rather than auto-TIG welded like much of the overseas competition. The exhausts are welded by hand, by a human operator who has control over all of the variables of the welding process to achieve a superior weld form.
Superior Muffler Design: Featuring a proprietary medium-density ceramic wool packing material, proprietary stamped inlets, and outlet caps for long-term structural integrity, Nameless mufflers retain their sound for years, and resist blowouts like can be found in the competition, many of whom simply use light density fiberglass packing similar to house insulation in their mufflers. While the competition oftentimes doesn't fully pack out mufflers and resonators, the vehicle-specific pre-cut packing blanks ensure that every customer gets the same sound and the same longevity of performance.
Solid Hanger Bars: T304 Exhaust Hanger Bars integrated into all of these exhaust systems are made from solid bar stock, ensuring that your exhaust fits out of the box and stays where you left it. They are CNC formed for a perfect fit. This is another area where Nameless differs from the competition. Most commercially available exhaust hangers are tubular and 400 series ferritic stainless prone to excessive surface rust.
Configuration Option:
5" Mufflers: Cancels the mid and high tones leaving a rich lower tone out the back of the car with quieter overall sound level.
