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.
Watched this video when first launched and now again and you guys just #Rock Question, does the exhaust add talk and any noticeable power. Kindly, Kurt
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
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
@@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?
@@rommelbautista6480 has to be bought through your local HKS dealer...I live in Washington and found a dealer in Seattle....just contact hks and they will give you a list of shops they deal with... Be ready for a wait though there is a back order
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. :(
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
@@NoboriAuto suitable for all 2 body numbers ske.sk9. understood correctly and wanted to ask the muffler at the exit no where it does not hit, otherwise in the video it is close to the right side of the bumper rim
If Subaru actually brings the 2.4L turbo to the 2022 Forester, I know what exhaust I'll be slapping on it day 1 (waiting for a turbo model before trading in the ole reliable Outback)

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.
That exhaust sounds mean great job guys
Thank you, now I have something new to do with my wife's Forester.
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?

Does this exhaust fit a 2021 Subaru forester premium or just the sport?
All Forester trim levels
Glad you went HKS. I have HKS Super Turbos on my two subarus too. Awesome exhaust systems.
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.
Aka sleeping
How many beers have you had already? 🤣
Great sounding exhaust! Do you know how you got it to crackle like that?
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?
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
She does all the work and he gets to drive it.

Love it you guys make me smile
Glad we can help
I saw a Forester Sport in our WalMart parking lot the other day....black, with the same orange trim. No red paddle shifters though.
They need to get with that paddle shifter life

Question, does the exhaust add talk and any noticeable power.
Kindly,
Kurt
I have an HKS on my 97 STI. Now looking to get one on my 2020 Forester Sport too 😊
Do you guys still have the stock exhaust? Interested in selling it or just the exhaust tip??
Is this a bolt on? Or is it a custom exhaust
Great video you guys keep them coming
We sure will try!
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.

i have a 22 touring. Where did you buy this JDM. WIll it fit mine?
I'm curious why they never made any for the Outback
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
I agree it sounds clean 😄
That sounds beautiful
Why not upgrade the pipe as well?
What model is it? I just for a 2021 and want to change out the stock exhaust
Did you guys gain a little HP beside sounds?
I wish to know this as well
Love it!
Nice. Where did you purchase the part?

Thanks for the comment. Yes it will fit the 2022
we have the same forester. I'm also thinking of buying an exhaust. Is that a chambered exhaust?
Cant figure out which one to go with...hks, borla or nameless....does part comes with new gaskets or u gotta get em seperate?
The nameless exhaust seems like it sounds louder. Not sure what to get now! Great video btw
My sport didnt come with a rear bumper plastic cover😢
You didn’t choke your front wheels?
Which model is this one ?

will this work for 2022 forester?

How is the exhaust drone ? Especially at highway speeds ? Definitely looking at this one versus the nameless dual chamber exhaust.
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.
How can I get one of those? Can you share the link to the store?
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!
Sounds & looks great! It’s important to apply proper torque specs btw.
What’s the name of this exhaust? I’m trying to order it
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.
Sounds great
The engineers did well
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
do you have a link for the tool ? Thank you
Going to start a go fund me for new creepers 😄.
Thanks for the video. Love the hks.
Why can't i find this exhaust on the website?
does the product come with exhaust gasket?
Leaves Darilyn in a dark alley lol 👀😎👀
Haha best comment
😂😂😂
She married a Marine, I think she’s got game!
Did you see any mpg change once you put the intake and exhaust in?
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
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 😉
No cold start?
Does this have a UEL like the previous gen?
Link to the muffler?
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. :(
Wait what why do you have paddle shifters
"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!!!

If the 2022 Forester gets a XT turbo I’m buying one & putting this muffler on it!
You have the right idea!

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
The nameless axle back exhaust sounds better. Gotta love hks though!
A lot of people like that one, but wasnt my cup of tea.
