COBB Stainless Steel 3in. Catback Exhaust - 2022-2026 Subaru WRX

The Cobb Stainless Catback: The Sound Your VB WRX Deserves

The Cobb 3-inch Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust for the 2022-2026 Subaru WRX is a mandrel-bent stainless steel system designed to free up the exhaust restriction downstream of the catalytic converter and give the VB WRX the exhaust note it should have come with. The 3-inch piping supports Stage 2 and Stage 3 power levels without becoming the restriction in the exhaust system.

3-Inch Mandrel Bends — No Crimping, No Restrictions

Every bend in the Cobb catback is mandrel-bent — a process that maintains the full 3-inch internal diameter through the curve rather than crimping the pipe as press-bending does. Each crimped bend creates a restriction that robs exhaust velocity. The Cobb system maintains consistent flow from the downpipe connection to the tips, supporting the exhaust gas velocity that a modified VB WRX needs to perform.

Bolt-In at Factory Hanger Locations

The Cobb catback connects at the factory downpipe flange and bolts to the factory exhaust hanger locations on the VB WRX. No custom fabrication, no welding, no modification to the chassis. The polished stainless tips exit at the factory cutout location for a clean, finished appearance.

Straight From Subispeed

The Cobb catback is the exhaust we recommend for any VB WRX build — the 3-inch mandrel-bent stainless steel construction supports power levels well beyond Stage 2 and the sound character is aggressive without being obnoxious on the street. It connects at the factory flange so it pairs with any Cobb or aftermarket downpipe without an adapter.

About Cobb Tuning

Cobb Tuning has been developing performance parts and tuning solutions for Subaru vehicles since 1999. Based in Austin, Texas, Cobb built their reputation on the Accessport — the most widely used Subaru ECU tuning device on the market — and expanded that into a full ecosystem of intake, exhaust, drivetrain, and engine bay accessories engineered specifically for the platforms they support. Every Cobb product is developed in-house and validated on their own test vehicles before it reaches customers. Subispeed carries the full Cobb catalog because their engineering standards and platform-specific development process consistently produce parts that work exactly as advertised.
