MAP Catback Exhaust System | 2015+ Subaru WRX (WRX-4G-CB-3)

When I first watched the Stage 2 video, I fell in love with the tone of the exhaust. I originally was going to get a different aftermarket one, but the tone on this one just killed it in every way. After I purchased it and installed it on the WRX, it sounded even better in real life. This thing is a monster when going over 4k RPM. After about 100 miles the car started to figure itself out and now this thing feels like it accelerates much faster than with the stock exhaust. Tonally it has more of a race car sound and less of the low bass hum of the stock exhaust. I miss the bass hum, but the overall sound of this exhaust is so much better. You can even hear a little bit of the Subie rumble on start up and low rpm, I love it! My dad has said he doesn't hear me coming down the street anymore and doesn't notice the car until I'm almost at the house, so this system is 'quieter' in several respects, but can growl quite loud at higher PPM's.

I didn't go Stage 2 as we cannot do that in California due to CARB laws, but if I ever move out of the state, I know I will be getting the matching J-pipe from these guys to get that unique sound. Great job MAPerformance!

After having the stock exhaust on my car for about 5 months, I decided it was time for some noise! At first, I was sketchy about this exhaust because all the sound clip videos on Youtube included the downpipe as well. However, after installing this exhaust on my OEM downpipe, I can honestly say it sounds amazing. Not to loud on start up, really deep note, and once you get past 3,000 RPM it really opens up and the cabin noise sounds good too. Fitment is perfect, nice sized tips, and the chrome really shines! Thanks MAperformance. Stage 2 coming soon....

For the money, the quality and finish of this catback is spectacular- the thing is beautiful. This has to be the best bargain for a top-tier exhaust for the '15-'17 WRX. I chose the muffled catback to be mated to my catted MAP J pipe. Going from the stock catback with MAP J pipe to the MAP catback with a MAP J pipe (turboback) is a special experience. The power increase measured by my butt dyno is substantial. Once the turbo starts spooling at around 3000 rpm, this system starts singing and doesn't stop. The resonator cleans up the little bit of drone you get at highway speeds, and then roars when you get on it. I wouldn't say it's quiet, but it's subdued when you want it be when you're cruising through the neighborhood, but wails when you open it up. Keep in mind, mine is muffled and I have it mated with their catted J pipe. This is an incredible system, and in my opinion, likely the best out there.

I purchased this catback to mate with my MAP J pipe to make it a full turboback to eliminate a bottleneck for future power upgrades. What I got was a beast of a system that does MUCH more than I anticipated a catback would do for my car.

Do yourself a favor, call Ian up, and tell him you need one of these- now.
