The Redback M1240 is a centre muffler listed to fit the Subaru Forester RX 2.5L from 07/2002 to 06/2005. As the mid-section silencer, it's the first stage of quietening in the system — the centre unit rather than the rear.
What does the centre muffler do on a Forester?
The centre muffler sits mid-pipe and takes the first edge off the exhaust note on the Forester's boxer engine, working ahead of the rear silencer. M1240 is the replacement for that centre position when it's rusted or split, returning the wagon to its quiet factory note. On a Subaru that lives outdoors and sees cold and damp, the mid-section is a common corrosion point worth renewing on its own.
What does the dated fitment tell you?
M1240 is listed specifically for the Forester RX 2.5L over the 07/2002–06/2005 window, so it's matched to that generation's exhaust routing rather than a generic fit. Getting the model and date right matters because the connections and length are particular to that build. Bore and material aren't published for this listing; the workshop confirms the connections against your car.
Will it suit my Forester?
It's listed to fit the Subaru Forester RX 2.5L, 07/2002 to 06/2005. Send your build to the workshop and we'll confirm M1240 is the right centre unit for your Forester before ordering. RRP is $310.
How does Oak Flats fit it?
