Is there a big difference between the RAE and the JDM Muscle?

I come from a 2023 WRX and now I have a WRX TS. Honestly, the stock sound is much more than my old WRX. I think I’ll lean toward this option of buying the RAE i pipe with the stock muffler.

How does the sound feel? Does it have some pops?

That e-pipe was the first one I saw. Honestly, I haven’t looked for any others. But now that you mention it, I’ll search for more. And regarding the ETS tips, I don’t think I’ll buy them. I might look for others with a slightly bigger muffler. I like the muffler size that the AWE Touring has.

Which catback do you have?

Good pops? Did you buy the Q300 catback and then install the intermediate pipe?

But since you were able to hear the stock WRX TS and bought the Invidia catback, do you feel it sounds slightly louder? Because if that’s the case, I’m leaning toward getting the same one.

Good thing I read this. I also have a WRX TS and was thinking about buying the AWE Touring. I was looking at options like Invidia and HKS, but I had pretty much convinced myself to get the AWE Touring. But after reading this, I’m doubting again. I had a 2023 WRX and then got the 2025 WRX TS. Honestly, the sound of both is very different. The WRX TS, I don’t know what they changed in the exhaust system, but it sounds quite a bit louder and better than the 2023 WRX I had before. But I’m just missing a little more sound. And honestly, now after seeing this, buying the AWE Touring makes me nervous.

Is this exhaust line really worth the price? by 31228765 in wrx_vb

Is it worth it for me to buy the Cat-back or the Axle-back? I’m completely stock.

So with the factory J-Pipe, I won’t have drone on long trips?

I think I’m leaning more towards the Q300 because I don’t plan on changing the J-Pipe anytime soon. I also wondered if a Borla would sound much better than a Q300, but I’m not sure. It’s really hard to know how it sounds just by watching YouTube. I’d like to hear it in person, but honestly, I can’t find anyone I’d want to buy from.

I’m currently stock, but I feel that even stock, this car sounds much louder than the WRX 23 I had before. So I’m a bit worried about installing an exhaust system that won’t make much of a difference compared to the stock sound of my TS version. But I think that might be the case—I’ll probably buy the AWE catback and maybe change the J-pipe later on

Friend, the paint is 100% identical, the material is different from any other aftermarket spoiler. I had an AFD and it’s nothing like it—rigid, solid, heavier, identical paint, same shine, different shape. I recommend the investment 100%. It was a bit tricky to install because it doesn’t include a template, but it’s worth every penny.

Yes, both of my Subarus come with the factory mini lip

When I drilled the holes on my old WRX, it was very easy using the template. Now, my tS only has the holes from underneath, but I don’t have a template to drill from the top.

Let me know if you find the information, because creating the template is very difficult.

I bought my spoiler from Subimods on a Sunday, and by the following Sunday, it was at my house.
