Absolutely love it. Simple install, just said the studs with some PB blaster over night. Cold start isn’t much louder but above 3k RPMs it’s a beautiful thing. I’m tuned for other mods, but will be getting back asap to see what I can gain from this. 100% recommend.
Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying our 3' Intermediate Pipe on your WRX. It's great to know that the installation was easy and that you're noticing a difference in the sound above 3k RPMs. We appreciate your recommendation and are happy to have you as a satisfied customer. Happy driving! :)

I bought the pipe assuming it would take forever to arrive, based off everything on Rae’s website but it shipped in 2 weeks, which was great and it sounds awesome

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.

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!

Picked up one of these OG run 3" I pipes. Craftsmanship, materials, and overall quality are excellent. Awesome, biggest, and best upgrade to exhaust system you can make from a bang for the buck and sound standpoint. I've used this I Pipe with multiple types of setups now. Makes even the stock catback sound good, need I say more. Thanks MR and all the other gals and guys at R-M for all you do. We all truly appreciate you. 👍

1st and foremost, congratulations to the Rae team for their hard work and dedication to the community! Currently have the iPipe paired up with their single exhaust and I love the throaty notes it gives off! No drone and all smiles! The occasional pop pop is frosting on the cake! Highly recommend. Easy install. What are you waiting for? Full send mate, hit that purchase button lol

The quality of the product is excellent, being a Tig welder myself I can appreciate the hard work that went into it, installing it was very easy and everything aligned perfectly with no gaps. The sound is amazing and I can finally hear my car through the entire RPM RANGE

I am still using OEM (Non STi)mufflers, but the added throaty and deeper tone compliments my current setup well. I was looking for a slightly more aggressive sound without making my neighbors complain so this was perfect. Cold start is a bit more raspy than stock when the car isn’t under load but doesn’t last long.
Hi there friend!
Thank you for leaving a review for our 3” Intermediate Pipe for the 2022+ WRX. We are so glad to hear that you are loving the added throaty and deeper tone with your current setup.

I have had it on the car now for about 3-4 months and I can say it sounds better and better every day. The wait was well worth it and the craftsmanship is one of a kind. I highly recommend and I will be getting a catback system eventually.

Install was easy! Fit perfect without any issues. Hardest part was trying to figure out good lift points for the stands. Can't wait for the CBE to come in to pair up!
Thank you for the great review! We're glad the 3' Intermediate Pipe was a perfect fit for your WRX and that the installation process went smoothly.
We appreciate your patience and can't wait for you to pair it with the CBE. <3 We promise she will be worth the wait :)
Happy driving!

Since its behind the jpipe does it require a tune?
Absolutely no tune is required since the primary cat remains untouched!
When you do choose to tune, you can expect to see an additional 10–15whp gain when paired with the intermediate pipe.
B
Is this compatible with an ETS Extreme Catback and a ETS Catted Downpipe?
Braydon,
If you have an ETS jpipe already, you will not have use for this intermediate pipe!
This intermediate pipe is designed for stock cat, or our replacement cat sections!
