GrimmSpeed Cat-Back Exhaust System (Non-Resonated) , 2008-2014 Subaru WRX / STI Hatchback
The GrimmSpeed Cat-Back Exhaust System (non-resonated) for the 2008-2014 Subaru WRX / STI Hatchback replaces the factory cat-back section with a mandrel-bent stainless steel system designed to reduce back pressure and improve exhaust flow from the catalytic converter to the tailpipe. GrimmSpeed engineers this system specifically for the Subaru platform’s chassis routing and rear bumper exit geometry.
DETAILS
- Construction: mandrel-bent stainless steel
- Tuning: non-resonated
- Larger diameter than OEM
- Improved flow , reduced back pressure
- Direct bolt-on at factory flange connections
- Fitment: 2008-2014 Subaru WRX / STI Hatchback
Mandrel bending maintains consistent pipe diameter through every bend , crush bending, used in OEM systems, reduces the pipe’s effective diameter at each bend and creates turbulence. GrimmSpeed’s mandrel-bent construction eliminates these restriction points for improved exhaust gas velocity and reduced pumping losses. The non-resonated design uses no internal resonators for a more open, aggressive exhaust tone. Louder and more present than the resonated version , appropriate for builds where maximum sound character is the priority over daily refinement.
The system connects at the factory flange after the catalytic converter and routes to the factory hanger positions , no cutting, no welding, no modification to the underbody is required. The stainless construction is rated for the thermal and road environment of daily-driven performance cars.
