I put the Rae-Motorsports 3” Intermediate Pipe on my 2023 VB WRX, paired with the Cobb Titanium Cat-Back. I was honestly scared to install it at first. This thing showed up looking like it needed its own zip code. I held it up to the car and had a moment of silence, like I was about to propose. I really thought the car was gonna tap out and file a complaint with HR. Instead, it tucked in perfectly like it had been waiting for this pipe its whole life.
The sound is ridiculous. In a good way. Cold starts make me feel like I should apologize to the neighborhood, but in that “sorry not sorry” tone. Driving around town, people look over like I’m smuggling thunder. On the freeway, no drone, just that smooth low growl that makes you sit up a little straighter like you finally have your life together.
If you want your exhaust to feel like it drank a protein shake and grew a personality, get this thing. It fits. It slaps. It’s stupid fun. Five stars.
