Description

The ETS 200-60-EXH-201 GESI Catted J-Pipe for the 2022+ Subaru WRX is a purpose-built performance upgrade designed to remove the factory j-pipe bottleneck and unleash more power for the FA24 turbo platform. Developed by Extreme Turbo Systems using real-world testing and motorsports experience, this J-pipe replaces the restrictive OEM unit with a high-flow GESI cat & 3.0-inch stainless steel design that dramatically improves exhaust flow, turbo response, and overall engine efficiency.

From the turbo outlet to the mid-pipe connection, every aspect of this J-pipe is engineered for maximum flow and durability. Mandrel-bent 304 stainless steel tubing ensures smooth exhaust gas evacuation with minimal turbulence, while precision-cut flanges provide an OEM-like seal and long-term reliability. At the heart of the system is a Gen 2 GESI catalytic converter, chosen specifically for its ability to support high horsepower levels while maintaining superior exhaust flow characteristics compared to traditional catalytic designs.

Unlike generic downpipes that prioritize sound over performance, the ETS GESI Catted J-Pipe is tuned for balance. It delivers a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note without excessive rasp or drone, making it suitable for both daily driving and spirited track use. Whether you are building a mild street car or a high-horsepower WRX capable of serious boost, this J-pipe provides the airflow headroom needed to scale your setup safely and efficiently.

Built in the USA and hand-finished to exacting standards, the ETS GESI J-Pipe is a foundational upgrade for any 2022+ WRX owner looking to improve power delivery, throttle response, and overall drivability while retaining a high-quality catalytic solution.

Performance Gains

When paired with a proper tune, the ETS GESI Catted J-Pipe delivers measurable performance improvements across the powerband. By reducing exhaust restriction at the turbo outlet, this J-pipe allows the turbocharger to spool faster and operate more efficiently, resulting in stronger mid-range torque and improved top-end power.

Typical results reported by tuners and owners include noticeable gains in horsepower and torque. Often gains range from 20–40+ wheel horsepower depending on tuning, fuel quality, and supporting modifications. The improvement in drivability is often just as significant as peak numbers, with smoother power delivery and quicker boost response under acceleration. This jpipe is capable of supporting up to 850whp.

For optimal results, professional ECU tuning is strongly recommended after installation to properly calibrate fueling, boost, and ignition timing for the increased exhaust flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a J-pipe do on the 2022+ WRX?

The J-pipe connects the turbocharger to the catback exhaust system. Upgrading it reduces exhaust restriction directly at the turbo outlet, which improves spool time, power output, and overall engine efficiency.

Is this J-pipe street legal?

This product is not CARB-approved and is not legal for use in California or other regions with strict emissions regulations. Always verify local laws before installation.

Will this cause a check engine light?

Because this part replaces a factory emissions component, a check engine light is possible depending on vehicle conditions and ECU calibration. Proper tuning significantly reduces the likelihood of issues but cannot guarantee CEL-free operation in all cases.

Do I need a tune after installing this J-pipe?

Yes, a tune is required to safely take advantage of the increased exhaust flow and to ensure optimal performance, reliability, and drivability. We offer a service to remotely tune your Subaru - CTT Clark Turner E-Tune.

How loud is the ETS GESI Catted J-Pipe?

This J-pipe deepens and sharpens the exhaust tone without excessive volume or harshness. Sound levels will vary depending on the rest of the exhaust system.

Is professional installation required?

Installation requires mechanical experience and proper tools due to tight clearances around the turbocharger. Professional installation is recommended for best results but not required.
