GrimmSpeed Stock Downpipe to Aftermarket 3-Inch Catback Adapter - Subaru WRX/STI - Turbocharged Models
Exhaust leaks between a factory downpipe and an aftermarket 3-inch catback are one of the most common headaches on modified Subarus. GrimmSpeed's adapter (SKU GRM077046) solves it properly by letting you retain the factory donut gasket instead of fighting a flat gasket against a corroded OEM flange. It's a simple, purpose built fix for anyone running a Subaru WRX or WRX STI with a 3-inch catback.
This listing covers turbocharged Subaru WRX and WRX STI models fitted with a factory downpipe or j-pipe and running an aftermarket 3-inch catback exhaust, spanning GC8, GDA/GGA, GE8/GH8, GF8, GV8/GR8, VAG, VBH and VNH WRX chassis, along with GDB, GRF, GVF and VAB STI chassis.
Note: This adapter reuses your factory donut gasket at the OEM flange. Inspect it for rust or damage before fitting, as a worn donut gasket will leak regardless of the adapter fitted.

- Flanged to suit the OEM donut gasket with machined lip centres
- 2-bolt gasket flange design
