AWE Touring Edition Exhaust (Cat-Back) for 2022-2026 Subaru WRX (VB)

The AWE Touring Edition Exhaust for the 2022-2026 Subaru WRX is AWE's refined 3" cat-back for the VB chassis. It was the first VB WRX system to carry AWE's patented drone-canceling 180 Technology®, which AWE added because the larger 2.4L FA24 benefited from it in both tone and performance. The result is a deep, aggressive BOXER® tone outside and a calm cabin on the highway.

A slip-fit inlet adapter gives perfect fitment to the factory downpipe while leaving an open 3" connection, and the clean, straight-through layout maximizes flow. AWE quotes max gains of 7 hp and 4 lb-ft at the wheels. The system is handcrafted from CNC mandrel-bent, U.S.-sourced .065" wall T304L stainless steel, bolts on for factory-like simplicity and finishes with 4" double-walled, slash-cut tips in Chrome Silver, Diamond Black or Vapor Blue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the AWE Touring Edition cat-back legal on a VB WRX?
AWE lists this system as 50 State Legal because it does not tamper with any emissions control or monitoring devices; it bolts on behind the catalytic converters. AWE does not publish a CARB Executive Order number for it, and local sound limits vary, so check the rules where you drive.

How loud is the Touring Edition on the WRX?
Touring is AWE's refined option. Its patented 180 Technology® cancels the drone-prone frequencies at cruising speeds, while the deep, aggressive BOXER® tone comes through under throttle.

How much power does it add?
AWE quotes max gains of 7 hp and 4 lb-ft of torque at the wheels for its VB WRX cat-back exhausts. No tune is required.

Will it fit my aftermarket downpipe?
The cat-back uses a slip-fit inlet adapter for perfect factory downpipe fitment, and AWE leaves an open 3" connection behind it. Call us with your downpipe brand and we will confirm the connection before you order.

Can I switch editions later?
Yes. AWE offers conversion kits that let you switch between Touring and Track Edition on the WRX cat-back. Call us and we will source the right kit for your system.

Cat-back or axle-back?
The cat-back replaces everything behind the downpipe in 3" tubing and carries AWE's 7 hp claim. The axle-back gives you the AWE sound at a lower price and bolts to the factory mid-section.
