Overview

The Overtake Up-Pipe Refresh Kit is designed to restore the integrity of your Subaru’s turbo up-pipe exhaust connection. Ideal for WRX, Subaru WRX STI, and Forester XT owners running EJ Turbo engines, this kit replaces worn or missing gaskets and hardware that can cause exhaust leaks, rattles, or reduced turbo efficiency. Whether you’ve sourced a used up-pipe or are refreshing your existing setup after years of exposure to road salt and heat cycles, this kit ensures a proper, durable seal.
