Bosal 279-771 Exhaust Resonator and Pipe Assembly - Front

Direct-Fit Resonator Assembly for Subaru and Saab

Bosal BRExhaust 279-771 is a direct-fit exhaust resonator and pipe assembly built for front-position applications on select Subaru and Saab models. It is designed to retain the OE exhaust sound while replacing a worn or damaged resonator section with a corrosion-resistant aluminized steel component.

The BRExhaust Direct-Fit Exhaust Resonator and Pipe Assembly line focuses on OE-style fitment and straightforward replacement for vehicles that need a factory-style exhaust tone and proper pipe alignment. This assembly uses flanged inlet and outlet connections for a direct installation path on the listed applications.

Key Features

• Direct-fit exhaust resonator and pipe assembly for front exhaust placement
• Aluminized steel pipe and resonator body for corrosion resistance and durability
• Round resonator body with a 3-inch body diameter and 7.75-inch body length
• Flanged inlet and outlet connections with 2-bolt flange patterns
• Built to help maintain OE exhaust sound characteristics
• Part number 279-771 for application matching and catalog lookup

Detailed Description

Bosal 279-771 is engineered for select 2002-2005 Subaru Forester, 2002-2005 Subaru Impreza, and 2005 Saab 9-2X front exhaust positions. It installs between the converter and rear silencer on the listed vehicles and is specified for dual resonator configurations. The aluminized steel construction supports long-term service in exhaust environments, while the direct-fit layout helps preserve factory routing and exhaust tone. If you are replacing a front silencer on a Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, or Saab 9-2X, this BRExhaust assembly provides an OE-style solution with flanged connections and matched dimensions. The part number 279-771 is also useful when cross-checking catalog listings and fitment references.

This part cross-references 44200FE180 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Exhaust noise from a damaged or rusted resonator section
• Factory exhaust tone changes caused by a failing front silencer
• Pipe corrosion in the resonator area
• Fitment issues from a bent or deteriorated exhaust assembly
• Replacement needs for front exhaust service on Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, and Saab 9-2X models

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 2005 Saab 9-2X, front; 2003-2005 Subaru Forester, front; 2002-2005 Subaru Impreza, front; and 2002 Subaru Forester, front. Verify flange orientation, exhaust routing, and the vehicle’s front silencer configuration before installation. This assembly uses flanged inlet and outlet connections, so alignment at the mating exhaust points is important for a proper seal and correct pipe position.

Quality Assurance

Bosal BRExhaust direct-fit components are built around OE-style replacement requirements and use aluminized steel construction for durability in exhaust service. The design supports factory-like sound retention and consistent fitment on the listed applications.
