Top notch quality! They assemble after powder coating so no powder coat on bolts. I had mine in yellow with the WRX logo powder coated. I’m super happy with them.

I'm running this i-pipe with my AWE Touring catback and this intermediate pipe was a direct fit to the OEM J-pipe. With the pipe going 2.5" to 3" towards the catback, the sound is more pronounced with deeper growl. Even with my Touring muffler, the exhaust pops more with stock tune at around 4,500 RPM in lower gears. Yes, it'll make your car much louder on startup and higher RPM in low gear, but as long as you have mufflers, it's still quiet at highway speeds and never find it obnoxious for long drives. Idling on the driveway has a deeper tone as well. No tune is needed obviously but it'll help which I'll do one day. What I also noticed and is with less restriction, the top end doesn't feel like it's being choked in 4th and 5th gear when accelerating. This is probably one of the best mods if you want an aggressive deeper tone with more pops. It sounds SO much better. And shoutout to Nick for the amazing service as usual!

Love the look of these signals. I’ve been working towards removing all the chrome from my WRX to make everything blend in. These lights disappear and complete the “murdered out” look, but are still plenty bright. I definitely recommend getting a hyperblink relay if you have other LED lights (I have...Love the look of these signals.

First of all, everywhere else had a 6-8 week minimum lead time and Nick got this to me in 3 days. It’s gorgeous, such a shame it’s hidden underneath the car. I swapped this in from a Tomei UELH and I must say all that “subie rumble” **** went right out the window the first time I started the car....First of all, everywhere else had a 6-8 week minimum lead time and Nick got this to me in 3 days. It’s gorgeous, such a shame it’s hidden underneath the car. I swapped this in from a Tomei UELH and I must say all that “subie rumble” **** went right out the window the first time I started the car. It sounds 10x better imo. I can’t really speak about specific power gains because this went in along with a bunch of other parts. 100% recommend this header

Shipping was quick. Install is fairly easy. Just don’t use the fuel sock that comes with the AEM unit. I had binding issues when trying to clip the fuel hangar back together, when I used the DW sock instead, it all clicked together easily.

I originally ordered the X-Force I pipe for my 24 WRX. However it was on back order and wouldn't be here for a few months. I talked with the owner and he was able to change my order to the JDMUSCLE I Pipe instead. And it was on my doorstep within 3 days.
