Swap Your WRX to an STI Drivetrain the Right Way

If you're swapping a TY85 6-speed STI transmission into your 2015–2021 WRX (FA20DIT) or 2022-2025 WRX (FA24DIT) , you'll quickly run into a problem — the stock exhaust hanger bracket won’t work. The WRX J-pipe exhaust exits on the driver’s side, but the STI transmission is set up for a passenger-side mount. That mismatch leaves your exhaust hanging… literally.

This custom bracket fixes that.

I designed it specifically to solve this issue after scanning both the WRX exhaust and STI transmission in the car. The result? A clean, bolt-on solution that puts the exhaust hanger right where it needs to be — no weird angles, no interference, no guesswork

Fitment Note: This bracket is designed to work with the WRX crossmember. It will not fit with the STI crossmember, as interference issues occur when attempting to use the STI unit.

This is the first of several parts I'm working on to make WRX-to-STI drivetrain swaps easier and cleaner. If you're serious about doing it right, this bracket helps you keep things tight, functional, and solid.

  • Mounts using the factory STI rear tail shaft bolts

  • Keeps your WRX exhaust hanger in its original spot

  • Black anodized for a clean look and corrosion resistance

  • Comes with all the hardware — no holding nuts in tight spots

  • Quick and easy install with just hand tools

  • Laser-etched logo for a clean finish
