The MagnaFlow 106-0162 is a direct-fit replacement exhaust system for the 2.5L Subaru Outback, built to replace the factory system. It is engineered for OEM 44200AJ09A exhaust replacement. It features durable aluminized steel construction and is covered by a 2 year warranty. The manufacturer says its precision mandrel bent pipes facilitate superior exhaust flow compared to the crush-bent pipes commonly used in competing aftermarket replacement exhaust systems. That bend geometry is the main reason to pay more than a budget replacement. Crush-bent pipes can restrict flow at the bends, so a mandrel-bent replacement is a better match for a buyer who wants the exhaust to stay close to stock behavior.
