Dang!!! They were probably on the same ship and mine was just going to be stock for US suppliers. That's cool you have one as well. So much better than stock right?
I have a diesel forester and I just deleted the rear mufflers. It now has a nice little growl, a bit of turbo diesel exhaust whistle and a bit of the old Subaru rumble.
That factory muffler looks exactly like what came off my '15 Forester XT, the right one at least. A friend gave me his factory mufflers and mid-pipe from his '15 STI, so I swapped them. I cut the rear valance to fit the quad tips, used a cardboard template, a silver sharpie, and a jigsaw with a formica blade that had fine teeth.
@@NoboriAuto I have no social media, sorry. It looks factory, the exhaust bolts right in and cutting the valance was easy since I use to be a carpenter...now I am an aircraft mechanic. I watched some guys cut the plastic with a box knife, but the jigsaw worked perfectly. I used a sanding block to knock off the edges after cutting. It added a nice little rumble and it sounds even better because it was Free....lol
@@re1ss I am fairly certain it does not increase HP on its own. But it allows the exhaust gases to flow out faster and with less back pressure, so if the old exhaust was a limiting factor, then this new exhaust will help. (With the stock engine, that is not the case, so no change in HP.) So if you added a turbo or somehow increased the engine output over stock, an improved exhaust may add a small amount of additional HP by improving the exhaust flow.

Hey man nice video. Just wondering what year is your Forester? I’m planning to get 2022 Forester and not sure HKS exhaust will fit the 2022 model. Do you have any ideas?
There isn't really one, necessarily -- if you swap in the new exhaust and secure it properly, it should be as sturdy as the OEM one. The main change is going to be how loud your exhaust is, and if you are ok with it!
@@NoboriAuto Hi! Thank you for the noticing my comment. :) Would you tell me how did you order it? :( Im trying to order it online via website, i cant see the buy option. :(

Thanks. This is going to help so much. I live in MN, and just last Saturday I was attempting to remove my aftermarket Nameless exhaust for the time being until summer come back around, and for the life of me, I couldn’t even get the rubber hangers to move. I believe the cold 30 degree weather had to do with it. Also if I were to put my stock exhaust back on do I need a gasket? Thanks Rob
Hello Nobori Family - Great Videos - I want to purchase same for my subaru forester - But i am in New Zealand - would you be able to share link for this to buy please Love from New Zealand
Skip to 5:46 for before and after sound comparison
I bought this exhaust because of your video. Waited six months for it, but it looks and sounds awesome on my Sport.
Do you need new gasket? Many thanks!
You guys crack me up! 😊 Keep up those vids and keep your humour in them. Your interaction with each other is fun to watch.
Thank you, now I have something new to do with my wife's Forester.
That exhaust sounds mean great job guys
Order ours back in May after watching this video, finally got it yesterday! More than 6 months of waiting but well worth it!
Wwwaaaaayyyy better than the exhausts most people add thank you for the pull at the end too
Love it, Just installed mine to, Ended up Waiting 8 months for it.
Dang!!! They were probably on the same ship and mine was just going to be stock for US suppliers. That's cool you have one as well. So much better than stock right?
@@NoboriAuto Yes it certainly enhanced the tone of the exhaust.
Have a link?
Glad you went HKS. I have HKS Super Turbos on my two subarus too. Awesome exhaust systems.
I have a diesel forester and I just deleted the rear mufflers. It now has a nice little growl, a bit of turbo diesel exhaust whistle and a bit of the old Subaru rumble.
Does this exhaust fit a 2021 Subaru forester premium or just the sport?
All Forester trim levels
ok I just got me a sport and NOW I WANT ONE OF THESE!!!
Do it!
I wish I could get behind the new subarus but I miss the boxer rumble. Next upgrade, unequal length headers!
I agree with you, the original Subie sound was really nice. You could tell it was a Subaru from a mile away
I'm late, I'm over here working on projects.

Please comment the exact link for that exhaust I cant find it
I’m having trouble also. I got to have it
I would also like the link.
Found it not to long ago
Where did u guys buy it from?
My sport didnt come with a rear bumper plastic cover😢
I'm curious why they never made any for the Outback
Great sounding exhaust! Do you know how you got it to crackle like that?
would it be possible for you guys to make more sound clips since these were kind of short like a cold start and some revs
great review btw

i have a 22 touring. Where did you buy this JDM. WIll it fit mine?
I have an HKS on my 97 STI. Now looking to get one on my 2020 Forester Sport too 😊
Anybody knows if this brings any performance advantages? Or is it only looks and sound wise?
Thanks!
Also want to know this

They need to get with that paddle shifter life

Why not upgrade the pipe as well?
This should fit the 21 sport too right? Looking online I only see some with the 2018/2019. I thought it weird that it included the prior year.
Yes, it will fit the SK Forester which includes the 21.
What model is it? I just for a 2021 and want to change out the stock exhaust
How os the exhaust drone at cruising speed?
Where do you get that exhaust, I just bought a 2020 Subaru forester Touring with 8000 miles and i like to do some mods to it to give it a little more power

Do you guys still have the stock exhaust? Interested in selling it or just the exhaust tip??
How can I get one of those? Can you share the link to the store?
"Mega JDM" is alright. You need "Ultra JDM" to step up your game. Muffler looks nice. A rebuilt copart Forester is brave.
Goal for 2021: ULTRA JDM!!!
@@NoboriAuto hello! What is the part number for this exhaust. I have the same sport as well! It looks and sounds amazing!!!
Nice. Where did you purchase the part?
Is this a bolt on? Or is it a custom exhaust
Going to start a go fund me for new creepers 😄.
Thanks for the video. Love the hks.
will this work for 2022 forester?
Yes just ordered one!

Hey where can I buy this exhaust
Love it!
Sounds great
The engineers did well
The nameless exhaust seems like it sounds louder. Not sure what to get now! Great video btw
Cant figure out which one to go with...hks, borla or nameless....does part comes with new gaskets or u gotta get em seperate?
we have the same forester. I'm also thinking of buying an exhaust. Is that a chambered exhaust?
How is the exhaust drone ? Especially at highway speeds ? Definitely looking at this one versus the nameless dual chamber exhaust.
Sounds & looks great! It’s important to apply proper torque specs btw.
Did you guys gain a little HP beside sounds?
I wish to know this as well
that sticker on the back window - February or December does not match with your upload date . nice work you guys.
Why can't i find this exhaust on the website?
Which model is this one ?
Hey man nice video. Just wondering what year is your Forester? I’m planning to get 2022 Forester and not sure HKS exhaust will fit the 2022 model. Do you have any ideas?
Thanks for the comment. Yes it will fit the 2022
What’s the name of this exhaust? I’m trying to order it
No I have had both this one and the nameless performance swaps for my sport and the nameless is much much deeper and pops way more
To each their own. Im not a fan of the nameless. That's what's good about aftermarket parts though, there are name different styles for everyone
Right so if I get this sport I have my eye on I'm definitely doing this. Oh btw nice touch on the waffletop for that cold weather 😉
Install a K&N intake and you’ll see an increase in hp, torque and mpg
Teach me the way. I have a Forester like the one in the video and I don't know how to make it faster
Wonder if they make it for the outback 2.4t? Picking up an OBW on Saturday.
You guys are happy people!
The new Outback turbo and WRX share the same engine, so might want to compare the exhaust system on those as well.
What is the model # of that HKS. Thank you
The nameless axle back exhaust sounds better. Gotta love hks though!
A lot of people like that one, but wasnt my cup of tea.
Just got a 2020, not a big car guy, but what are the negatives about this type of install over time?
There isn't really one, necessarily -- if you swap in the new exhaust and secure it properly, it should be as sturdy as the OEM one. The main change is going to be how loud your exhaust is, and if you are ok with it!

I love your channel. Maybe you could post a link to the exhaust. I can’t seem to find it anywhere. I’m a noob to internet shopping.
Did you end up finding it?
@@NoboriAuto nope but I will keep looking. I have a buddy in Japan that might be able to get me some STI parts for it.
Wait what why do you have paddle shifters
Will this fit to '22 Limited as well? Trying to look for it to the site, I don't know the model # of my subie. :(
Yes it will fit the 22, as it's still the SK platform. Just search SK Forester HKS exhaust
@@NoboriAuto Hi! Thank you for the noticing my comment. :) Would you tell me how did you order it? :( Im trying to order it online via website, i cant see the buy option. :(
No cold start?
does the product come with exhaust gasket?
Hola, qué modelo de escape es?? Ya que tengo un XT 2018 turbo
Does this have a UEL like the previous gen?
2024 Forester Sport will that fit on it?
I'm not sure if the bumper exhaust location matches
I got it Friday. 2019-2024 are all the same. Looks sweet@@NoboriAuto
Did you see any mpg change once you put the intake and exhaust in?
HKS exhaust is overkill for that car.
Could anyone tell me the name of that tool used in the video?
Can you please send the Link for that Exhaust
What’s the name of the tool 😂?
hello, what kind of body do you have ske or sk9, otherwise it writes that it will only fit on ske, otherwise I want to buy such a muffler as I bought
Its the same exhaust for either

I'm in Utah, but what do you need help with?
What is the model or website to get that exhaust?
@@pedrozuniga4648 Google HKS and their website will come up
If the 2022 Forester gets a XT turbo I’m buying one & putting this muffler on it!

I just got my new exhaust but do I need any kind of glue. I saw some copper sealant.
No, just the gasket. You can put antiseize on the bolts if you'd like

Haha yeah they have been. They experienced a lot of use that night

Yes
You can add the exhaust, but the Forester is still SLOW. It needs at least 200 hp.
