Mid Pipes

Coverage in this range spans popular turbo and naturally aspirated platforms, including Subaru WRX and STI, Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ, Toyota GR Yaris and GR Corolla, Toyota Supra A90, Honda Civic Type R, Nissan Silvia and Skyline, and VW Golf GTI and R.

Mid pipes here fall into a few groups: resonated mid pipes that trim drone while keeping volume up, straight-through pipes for maximum flow and a louder note, and X-pipe or Y-pipe sections used on twin-outlet and V-engine cars. Some are sold as a single bolt-in section, others as a two-piece with a slip joint or V-band for easier handling.

A mid pipe is the cheapest way to change exhaust character without replacing the whole system. Swapping a restrictive factory resonator section for a larger-diameter pipe frees up flow and usually adds a deeper tone, and on turbo cars it helps the rest of the exhaust do its job. Pipe diameter matters more than brand hype: going too large on a smaller-capacity engine can hurt low-rpm response, so match the size to the power target rather than the loudest option. We choose to carry mid pipes that use quality stainless and accurate flange spacing, because a cheap pipe that fights the hangers will rattle and leak.

Check the year, model and whether your car is an AU-delivered RHD variant before ordering, as exhaust routing often differs from US or JDM cars. Most mid pipes are a direct bolt-in to the factory flanges, and installers generally work from the rear forward, supporting the system while the old section comes out. Budget for new gaskets, flange bolts or nuts and a spring kit where the design uses them, plus penetrating fluid for rusted hardware. Cars with rear oxygen sensors in the mid section need a pipe with the correct bung, or an extension lead. A hoist makes the job far easier than jack stands.

Will a mid pipe fit my year and trim?
Fitment is model and year specific, and some platforms changed exhaust layout mid-generation. Check the fitment notes on the product page against your build date and model code, and send us your VIN if you are unsure.

Does a mid pipe alone make much difference?
On most cars it adds volume and a deeper tone. Power gains on their own are modest; the bigger gains come when the mid pipe is matched to a less restrictive downpipe or header and a suitable rear section.

Will it cause drone on the highway?
Straight-through pipes are more likely to drone than resonated versions. If the car is a daily driver, a resonated mid pipe is the safer pick.

Is a mid pipe road legal?
A mid pipe that keeps the factory catalytic converters in place is generally fine, but noise and emissions rules vary by state. Anything that removes a cat is for race and motorsport use only.

Do you ship Australia wide?
Yes, we ship to all states and territories, including regional addresses.
