Does the ETS Axleback Exhaust for VB need a tune?

No tune is needed for most cars. The ETS Axleback Exhaust for VB changes sound and adds a little flow behind the axle. If the car is already tuned, or will be tuned for other parts, include the exhaust in that session.

Can I turn it into a catback later?

Yes. ETS sells an axleback midpipe that converts this system into a catback by replacing the factory pipe ahead of the axle. The rear sections and tips stay on the car, so nothing already bought goes to waste when you build up.

What comes in the box?

The kit includes the stainless axleback sections with four 3.5 inch double-wall tips and every gasket needed. It bolts to the factory two-bolt flange behind the axle, so no cutting or welding is required to fit it. Hardware details are confirmed at order.

What is the difference between Extreme and Muffled?

The Extreme version runs without mufflers for the most sound. The Muffled version includes mufflers for a calmer note on long drives. Both share the same 2.5 inch piping, tips and fitment, so choose for how the car is used.

Do the blue tips stay blue?

Over time they fade. ETS explains that exhaust heat alters a blue finish on any brand of tip, so the color softens the more the car is driven hard. The axleback is also offered with polished or stealth black tips, which keep their appearance longer on the same 3.5 inch double-wall tip.

Description

ETS Axleback Exhaust for VB Subaru WRX

ETS’s Axleback Exhaust for VB Subaru WRX is the easiest way to give the FA24 a stronger voice: 2.5-inch T304 stainless that bolts to the factory two-bolt flange behind the axle, ending in four 3.5-inch double-wall tips. Every gasket is in the box and the installation is a simple bolt-on. It suits an owner who wants more sound now and may build up later, because ETS sells a mid-pipe that turns it into a full catback.

Build It in Stages

Choose the Extreme version without mufflers or the Muffled version for a calmer tone, with polished, blue or stealth black tips. Adding the ETS Axleback Midpipe later converts the system to a catback without replacing what is already on the car.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
