XForce Cat Back Exhaust w/ Angle Out Cannon 2002-2007 WRX / STI | 3" Mandrel-Bent Stainless Steel | Performance Exhaust System
Overview
The XForce Cat Back Exhaust system with an angle out cannon muffler is designed specifically for the 2002-2007 Subaru WRX and WRX STI manual transmission models. This cat-back upgrade replaces the factory exhaust from the catalytic converter back, enhancing exhaust flow and delivering a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note that Subaru enthusiasts crave. It’s an ideal choice for drivers looking to improve both the sound and performance of their WRX or STI without compromising daily drivability.
Engineered with precision mandrel-bent 3-inch piping and constructed from raw 409 stainless steel, the XForce system prioritizes durability and optimal exhaust gas flow. The inclusion of a center hotdog resonator helps balance sound levels, while the distinctive angle out cannon muffler with a 4.5-inch tip provides a unique visual and acoustic signature. XForce’s focus on fitment and quality ensures a straightforward bolt-on installation that maintains factory mounting points and alignment.
For Subaru owners, this exhaust system offers tangible benefits beyond just sound. The improved exhaust flow can contribute to modest horsepower gains when paired with supporting modifications and proper tuning. The aggressive tone enhances the driving experience, making your WRX or STI stand out on the street while retaining the reliability and fitment expected from a Subaru-specific upgrade.
