very good accessory - well engineered and high quality
I would have given 5 stars if the hanger mounts were the same as factory (extra long - but no enlarged button tips) The full install (including factory part removal) went very well and fast on my under 300 mile at the time brand new 2026 WRX. The shorter hanger rods on the PLM exhaust had the classic style enlarged buttons on the end to reduce the chance of inadvertently sliding off the rubber hanger, but the factory style just had extra long rods - which accomplished the same thing with a bit less hassle. I didn't even need to jack up the vehicle, although it was a tight fit between my chest and the spare tire well - had to bench press the car up ( not off the ground - just suspension sag) to reposition several times. I definitely recommend this product. The PLM exhaust came with classic style flange gaskets, but my factory exhaust had steel o-rings. Either style seems ok, but i think the factory o-rings are single use type and are less forgiving of manufacture tolerance imperfections.
