GreenMachine Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 So all of the headers I've looked at say they will fit 97+ legacy wagons. Mine however is a 96 (2.5) and say they won't fit. Is this true, and if so, why? What headers should I use if I can't use the 97+ ones?
DOHCEJ22E1 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Look for a UEL header for a 93-01 Impreza and it will literally fit right on.

GreenMachine Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 Why won't the 99-05 impreza rs headers work? Just curious.
DOHCEJ22E1 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Different exhaust routing. Post the header page that you're trying to get the headers from & I'll tell you if it is correct or not. The 93-01 RS header is the correct one to get.
GreenMachine Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 I haven't been able to find any. The interwebs seems to be having a shortage of any form of 93-01 impreza anything (except wrx).

Zues Marine Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 headers mount up under the car, those will work... the sites that sell things rarely can vouch for all the different fitments, i ran those on my '95 2.2 they'll bolt right up..may need better gaskets than these come with tho

I just didn't know if maybe they changed the crossmember or something to get in the way. Thanks for the heads up on the gaskets, btw.
GT_Recchia Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Looking through these old header threads to learn more before buying. Because I'm not too familiar with different exhaust routing, I just want to ask the quick question If the 97-05 impreza UELs posted earlier would fit on my 97 2.5 GT as well?

Zues Marine Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 yes, they will bolt right up.. the hardest part will be breaking bolts loose, i'd recommend 2"x50' header wrap to cut down on lifter tick noise and gain about .25mpg those are also cheaper than they used to be; now at only $108 shipped frpm the $140 it used to be.. nice
