    Long story short, local guy on Fb posted this mid pipe for the 2015 Sti. When I attempted to install it on my 2015 WRX, it was about an inch too short and clearly wasn’t the 2015 sti mid pipe.

    Does anyone know which model this midpipe is from based on the picture? 14 sti?

    $40 picked up in Blaine.

    Hmm can’t comfirm. That sucks, I’m sorry.

    I may actually be interested in your stock midpipe for my XT- selling yours? I was orginally also looking for a STi resonated midpipe as well but have decided to keep stock catback so I may settle for a WRX non-resonated midpipe. Also, I’m next door in Lino.
    PM me if you want to sell yours, thx.

    Looks similar to ones I took off a legacy gt (05-09) or an NA impreza (08-whatever). What's the pipe diameter and overall length?

    Weird that it didn't fit. I'm actually 90% sure that's a 15 STI midpipe.

    It's definitely not the OEM one because the flanges by the muffler are thicker/flatter and have a regular gasket. The actual OEM 15+ STI has ring gaskets.

    When I attempted to install it on my 15 WRX, the pipe was about 0.5-1" too short and it was pulling on the mufflers. I made sure everything was loose before I tightened the bolts.

    Didn't measure the diameter but it looked very similar to the stock 15 WRX diameter. Difference in the overall length would be difficult to measure due to the shape of the pipe. When it was mounted, it was at least 0.5-1" too short.

    Looks a little weathered to be from a 15
