Divorced Wastegate Design:
The divorced wastegate design separates the wastegate flow path from the main exhaust flow. This prevents wastegate gases from disrupting the exhaust flow to the turbine, resulting in improved turbo response and reduced lag. The separated design also allows for more efficient exhaust scavenging, contributing to better overall performance.
Polished Stainless Steel Construction:
The downpipe is constructed from high-quality stainless steel with a polished finish. The polished surface provides a premium appearance while the stainless steel material ensures long-term durability and corrosion resistance. The polished finish also makes the downpipe easier to clean and maintain.
Proven Power Gains:
Invidia's testing shows the divorced wastegate downpipe delivers measurable horsepower and torque gains on Legacy GT, WRX, and STI applications. The improved exhaust flow reduces backpressure and turbo lag, allowing the engine to produce more power while improving throttle response. The gains are especially noticeable in the mid-range where the factory downpipe becomes most restrictive.
Reduced Turbo Lag:
By improving exhaust flow and separating the wastegate path, the Invidia downpipe significantly reduces turbo lag. The turbo spools faster and more efficiently, providing quicker boost response and more immediate power delivery. This makes the car feel more responsive and engaging to drive.
Direct Bolt-On Fitment:
The Invidia downpipe is engineered specifically for Legacy GT (MT), WRX, and STI applications, providing direct bolt-on fitment using factory mounting points. No cutting, welding, or modifications are required. The downpipe connects to the factory turbo outlet and midpipe using factory-style flanges for straightforward installation.

Their products are known for combining excellent build quality, proven power gains, and reliable construction. Every Invidia product is manufactured in Japan to the highest quality standards and tested extensively before release.
Professional Tuning Recommended:
IMPORTANT: Professional tuning is strongly recommended after installing this downpipe. The increased exhaust flow will change the engine's air/fuel ratio and boost characteristics. A proper tune will optimize performance, ensure safe operation, and maximize the power gains from the downpipe.
Installation Tips:
- Lift vehicle or use jack stands for access
- Spray penetrating oil on exhaust bolts before removal
- Use new gaskets (included) for leak-free installation
- Torque all bolts to specification
- Check for exhaust leaks after installation
- Get professional tune to optimize performance and ensure safe operation
Perfect For:
- Legacy GT MT / WRX/STI owners seeking improved turbo response
- Turbocharged builds requiring reduced lag and proven power gains
- Track day enthusiasts needing better throttle response
- Anyone upgrading from restrictive factory downpipe
- Builds seeking premium Invidia quality
