Does the ETS GESI Catted J-Pipe for VA fit the CVT WRX?

No. The ETS GESI Catted J-Pipe for VA is built for the 2015 to 2021 WRX with the manual transmission, and ETS states it will not fit CVT models. Send BA your VIN if you are unsure which transmission your car has.

How much power will the GESI converter support?

GESI rates its Gen 2 400 cell converter at up to 850 hp per converter, and ETS rates the 3.0 inch stainless J-pipe for more than 800 whp. That covers the power range of most turbo builds on the FA20DIT, including the ETS turbo kits.

Can the J-pipe be used on track?

GESI states this converter is not intended for extended track use. Short sessions are within its design, but a car that sees long track days should be discussed with BA before ordering so the right setup can be chosen for that use.

What is the replacement stud kit?

The stud kit is an optional set of new studs for the turbo outlet joint. Factory studs can be seized or damaged by heat, so replacing them at the same time makes the install easier. It can be added when the J-pipe is ordered.

A higher-flowing J-pipe changes how the turbo builds boost, so the car should be tuned with the pipe fitted. Most owners install it alongside a turbo upgrade or other bolt-ons and tune for the complete package at once, which saves a second dyno session.

Description

ETS GESI Catted J-Pipe for VA Subaru WRX

ETS’s GESI Catted J-Pipe for VA Subaru WRX is a 3.0-inch, 304 stainless J-pipe with a Gen 2 400-cell GESI converter built in, mandrel bent on a CNC bender and fitted with 304 stainless flanges so it bolts in where the factory piece came out. ETS rates the pipe for more than 800 whp and the GESI unit to 850 whp, so it carries a big-turbo car without becoming the restriction. It is a manual-transmission part; the CVT car is not covered.

The GESI Converter

GESI’s Gen 2 core is S-wound for strength, with a Double-Lock design that holds the substrate in place and a coating that tolerates 1,700 F under boost. GESI rates it for street and forced-induction use, but not for extended track sessions, so a dedicated track car should plan accordingly.

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.
