Profiling Our MAPerformance Downpipe For The 2022 Subaru WRX
The Subaru WRX is a classic for many car enthusiasts, thanks in large part to the intelligently-designed and incredibly powerful turbo engine that it brings to the table. You should know this engine well if you're a Subaru enthusiast - it's the BOXER, a motor purpose-built for the WRX that is capable of producing 271 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, both near the top of the heap when it comes to performance-ready track cars.
All that power requires quite a bit of airflow, though, and it's important to have everything circulating properly so you're not leaving power on the table, or worse, having your engine's fumes potentially damaging to other components of your car. So you'll need a good downpipe in order to really dial in your turbo engine's performance, and that's what we're gonna be talking about today.
We'll be diving into our brand-new 2022 WRX downpipe available straight from MAPerformance, so you can see how it's made, what separates it from stock options, and how you can get yours. Let's jump in!

What Performance Benefits Do Downpipes Provide For Turbo Cars?
Downpipes are an underrated component of many turbo car builds. Just like any other vehicle, the WRX has a huge, complex exhaust system of pipes and tubes that help to collect harmful emissions from its engine, then filter and siphon them through the system before being expelled out of your muffler. The first step of this process is the downpipe, which can really make or break the quality of the airflow your car experiences.
See, most stock downpipes are super narrow out of the factory, and that's on purpose, because this saves space and money when it comes to production costs. The downside, of course, is that this creates a massive bottleneck that can limit the amount of airflow your exhaust system can accommodate - worse yet, it can rob your car of valuable power.
In fact, we usually see that a good custom downpipe added to your WRX (mixed with a quality catback exhaust system) is worth about 10 or 20 extra horsepower, which not only is more fun, but can also be the difference between a win and a loss on street and track courses. So if you can spring for a new downpipe, it's definitely worth the investment.
Top Features and Design Of Our 2022 Subaru WRX Downpipe
Knowing all this, we want to introduce you to our very own tailor-made WRX downpipe system that we just unveiled - you can see it and all of its components above. It's created with 304 stainless steel, utilizes mandrel-bent tubing throughout to better optimize exhaust flow, and has a 3.5-inch bell mouth that shifts to a 3-inch wide pipe for maximized air filtering over stock options.
This downpipe is compatible with stock WRX engines, as it utilizes the OEM ground strap and is designed for use with the OEM turbo outlet gasket. All this combined means that out of the box, all you need to do is set up this exhaust kit and you're ready to go - as mentioned above, you can expect serious boosts in horsepower, torque, and overall enjoyment every time you ride!
