Specs:
Fitment: For the stick-shift drivers out there, this 3" Intermediate Pipe fits your 2022+ WRX perfectly!

Intermediate pipes are now considered back ordered as we build more stock, but you'll be glad you waited! Our 3" Intermediate Pipe 2022+ WRX is a scorching hit - everyone loves it - so shipping times can/and will vary.
Please be aware that all purchases at Rae-Motorsports are non-refundable.
Rae is a very small 1000sqft shop, run by a dedicated team of two. Our motto, "Quality over quantity," drives everything we do and ensures the highest standards in every order. As a result, our popularity has increased, and we work tirelessly to maintain our quality systems while fulfilling orders. Please be aware that while we typically exceed our estimated wait times, we have been successfully operating for three years and no customer has ever been left without their system, or a cancellation/refund. At Rae, we are expanding our team and investing in additional resources and machines to ensure we stay at the forefront of innovation. With our ambitious plans, we are on track to meet demand and increase our inventory of premium parts by the end of the year. Please note that purchasing this product is agreeing to understand this concept, and the fact that all sales are final.
While this review is mainly about my thoughts on the Intermediate pipe, I will touch base on my entire buying experience. First off, the level of craftsmanship is top-notch, especially from an independently owned company. I'm a firm believer in supporting small/local businesses when possible, so this aligned well for me as a buyer.
As far as my buying experience, it is no surprise to anyone that lead times are longer given the nature of this business. Knowing that, I was provided a timeframe of up to 2 weeks the day before my order was placed (11/20). 2 weeks went by and I touched base a few times until I received another updated ETA. Ultimately, my wait time, until shipping was provided, was on 12/19, then delivered on 12/21. My only "complaint" is not waiting as long as I did, which they clearly outline upon entering their website, but the inaccurate ETAs provided. I was coordinating with my tuner, which caused some hurdles since I was basing everything on the initial ETA.
I have full consideration for their business, how many people are attending to certain things, it would have been a better experience if the ETA I was provided was more realistic, as I hate being "that customer" who sends multiple emails to check-in.
Overall, they're a fantastic company, pump out some amazing products and I would recommend them any day of the week.

The cold start is wicked now. Then it idles down and sounds amazing. Deep tones not too loud. When you’re driving man it’s a complete different sound from just having the cat back. Way deeper notes along with a more *sensual* popping noise. 10/10 recommend

I haven't installed my intermediate pipe yet because I am still waiting for my CBE, But out of the box it really is a beautiful piece. Kinda socks that it has to go under the car so you can't see it!! Thanks to Morgan and her team for great work!!
Hi there! Thank you for the awesome review. We're so glad you're happy with the intermediate pipe, even though it will be hidden under the car. We hope it will make a great addition to your setup once your CBE arrives. We have a mass shipment push of catbacks going out- stay tuned!!
Thank you for choosing our product and for your kind words. We appreciate your support+patience!
