Keep your exhaust joints tight and quiet with the AP Exhaust Exhaust Bolt and Spring Kit (MPN 8039). This spring bolt kit fastens exhaust components at a flanged connection, using spring tension to hold the joint clamped while allowing it to flex with engine movement and thermal expansion — helping maintain a snug seal at the connection. It fits a wide range of Subaru applications, including the 2016-2017 Crosstrek [H4-2.0L], 1998-2018 Forester [H4-2.5L], 1995-2016 Impreza [H4-1.8L, H4-2.0L, H4-2.2L, H4-2.5L], and 2000-2024 Outback [H4-2.5L]. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of covered vehicles and engines.
Signs this hardware may need replacing include an exhaust leak, rattle, or ticking at the joint, and corroded or seized bolts and springs that no longer hold the connection tight. If a failed spring bolt is the cause of a leaking exhaust joint, this kit replaces it; diagnose the source of any leak before ordering.
