Yes awesome video btw … I have a 17 Foz and I just purchased a Legamax from subimods … I’m pretty excited to add the upgrade to the fozzy! Your video is what made me purchase the HKS Legamax 🙏 sounds so perfect , much better than the current magnaflow i have on there now .
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
@@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
@@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.
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
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
Vivid racing the sent me an email: Unfortunately this exhaust will only fit 2018-19 models. However here is a link to the exhausts that we have that fit your vehicle. www.vividracing.com/exhaust-parts-c-4246.html?class_8=1&class_9=73330
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. :(
@@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
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
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
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.
That exhaust sounds mean great job guys
bought this after wasting money on a to loud nameless.this is perfect.not to loud just above stock exhaust sound but its noticable..great video..
Thank you, now I have something new to do with my wife's Forester.

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?
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
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!
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.

We sure will try!
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?
I have an HKS on my 97 STI. Now looking to get one on my 2020 Forester Sport too 😊
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

@@johnnydoe66 you sold me with it on the free part. Well thanks for sharing your project, glad a fellow forester owner is watching.
I'm curious why they never made any for the Outback
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
Great sounding exhaust! Do you know how you got it to crackle like that?
Leaves Darilyn in a dark alley lol 👀😎👀
Haha best comment
😂😂😂
She married a Marine, I think she’s got game!
My sport didnt come with a rear bumper plastic cover😢
Going to start a go fund me for new creepers 😄.

They need to get with that paddle shifter life
i have a 22 touring. Where did you buy this JDM. WIll it fit mine?
Hey where can I buy this exhaust
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.
Nice, do you guys have the link for the exhaust?
Why not upgrade the pipe as well?
You didn’t choke your front wheels?
How os the exhaust drone at cruising speed?

Is this a bolt on? Or is it a custom exhaust
Do you guys still have the stock exhaust? Interested in selling it or just the exhaust tip??
Why can't i find this exhaust on the website?
Did you guys gain a little HP beside sounds?
I wish to know this as well

Why do you need new creepers when youve got Sean haha
Dang... I would say that's a low blow but was a good one haha
@@NoboriAuto Hey the opportunity was there so I had to take it and what not haha
The nameless exhaust seems like it sounds louder. Not sure what to get now! Great video btw
"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!!!
Cant figure out which one to go with...hks, borla or nameless....does part comes with new gaskets or u gotta get em seperate?
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
we have the same forester. I'm also thinking of buying an exhaust. Is that a chambered exhaust?
Sounds great
The engineers did well
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.
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.
Which model is this one ?
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
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
How is the exhaust drone ? Especially at highway speeds ? Definitely looking at this one versus the nameless dual chamber exhaust.
What is the model # of that HKS. Thank you
Thank you guys for inspiring me to work on my 2019 Forester Sport so can release the subie rumble in my subie
Heck yeah! Go get em
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
does the product come with exhaust gasket?
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!
The nameless axle back exhaust sounds better. Gotta love hks though!
A lot of people like that one, but wasnt my cup of tea.
No cold start?
Link to the muffler?
If the 2022 Forester gets a XT turbo I’m buying one & putting this muffler on it!
You have the right idea!
that sticker on the back window - February or December does not match with your upload date . nice work you guys.
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?
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. :(
