AVO 3" Front Pipe Kit with Cat (10-14 LGT/Outback XT)

This 3" downpipe (or Frontpipe) is constructed from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring longevity and comes with ceramic coating as well to keep under bonnet temperatures down.

Your stock down pipe also uses a fairly restrictive catalytic converter. The AVO front pipe addresses this issue with a single large high-flow metal catalytic converter, larger than available from most other makers. The 5” body flows better than the 4” body when flowing both with comparable cells. The bigger the area within reason the more flow it will have. You might ask why 160 cell and not 100 cell like some of the aftermarket front pipes available on the market, we know that it will help with the maintenance of emissions control. The 160 cell cat converter is also a compromise between maintaining high performance and some emission control. All this adds up to a huge decrease in back pressure and a big increase in performance. Use your turbo to its full potential!

The intermediate pipe section after the j-pipe is 3” mandrel bent with transmission mounting bracket. AVO have also fitted a stainless OEM style flex as it is required with the replacement of the factory OEM version. Without the flex and OEM spring loaded flex setup then your headers and any welds forward of the flex are prone to cracking. The stainless flanges are a lost wax stainless casting that are 13mm thick and will not warp under the harshest of conditions. The thickness of our exhaust tube is 1.5mm which is thicker than most aftermarket front pipes. This helps with noise absorption and with longevity of the product.

With the AVO product you are guaranteed a product that will truly deliver all it promises.
