Every Exhaust Upgrade For Your Subaru WRX
History of the Subaru WRX
Subaru had a hit with their Impreza model. The well-mannered, safety sedan featured a boxer engine and all wheel drive drivetrain. This hit turned into a homerun with the WRX among Subaru enthusiasts.
Subaru called their creation the WRX which stands for World Rally eXperimental. It took the basic Impreza, slapped on a turbo, and mixed in rally inspired tech throughout.
The Subaru Impreza WRX debuted in 1992 but wouldn’t be available to the US market until 10 years later for the 2002 model year. This model, designated chassis code GD, was equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine. This first generation US market WRX, affectionately referred to as “bug eye” for the shape of its headlights, remains one of the best “bang for buck” Subarus out there.
The release of the USDM Impreza WRX coincided with COBB Tuning becoming the go-to aftermarket tuning and Subaru mod solution. The rest is history.
