Jeffzguy Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Does anyone make a nice aftermarket catback for non turbo Legacy's? Or headers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Racing Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Some EJ25 systems/headers can be made to fit, but only if you have a welder and a tubing bender. The header flanges bolt right up, but the pipes don't line up under the car. Nevermind how much of a pain in the ass it is to get the bolts that hold the headers out. If you break a stud, you're going to be kicking yourself for days. Your best bet would be to take the car to a custom exhaust shop. They will get you a system with exactly what you're looking for, and it will be an exact fit. There are people out there who have modified EJ25 systems to fit on the EJ22, but like I said, the pipes don't line up to the rest of the exhaust. Just a tip, if you want to maintain that distinct boxer rumble, have them make you unequal length headers. The car will sound like an STi without the blow off valve by the time you're done.

Jeffzguy Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 Interesting. I will keep that in mind, thanks, any particular muffler I should use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqc151 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 borla headers fit, but ive been told the ebay ones work just fine. but since u have a n/a, i wouldnt bother. a nice 2.5 inch catback will be just fine. and no they dont make aftermarket exhausts for this car. everything is custom. u can use any impreza exhaust but it will need to be extended about 6 inches. or just get a catback from a turbo legacy and ur all set. also, i have a complete TBE. i sent u the link in the other thread.

Jeffzguy Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 What is TBE? What other thread and what link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Racing Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 A TBE is a "Turbo Back Exhaust". Similar to a cat back exhaust, only it contains everything you need to go from the turbo, all the way to the tailpipe. Since your car is NA, you're probably only going to need parts from the TBE, since the entire front half of the TBE is different. Once you get passed the first cat I think it's the same though.

Jeffzguy Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 Ahh nice. I'm not sure if I will be putting an exhaust on, I was just wondering if there was a nice sounding muffler for these cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqc151 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 the STI exhaust sounds really nice on an N/A. when i had an STI catback on my 01 OBS. it sounded just like an STI... only with no turbo... even fooled a few people that thought i had a swap...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffzguy Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 But an sti system on a 91? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqc151 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 i have a 07 sti catback i was going to put on my 91 but never got around to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffzguy Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 How hard would that be to fit in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqc151 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 cut the flange off the midpipe that connects to the cat. connect that to the cat. then weld a piece of pipe in the middle to connect it. any muffler shop can do this for u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffzguy Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 I mean how would the pipe routing fit to the rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqc151 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 its the same. thats why u extend it about 6 inches. the legacy chassis is longer. this way the hangers line up. remember, subies are like legos. pretty much any mechanical part from 1989 to 2007 will fit, or with a lil custom work of course.

Jeffzguy Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Sick! So then I could order something like an HKS catback for an 02-06 WRX STI and make it fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Wagon Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Possibly. It may be that the flanges (I believe this is the word I'm looking for) that connect them are at different angles in which case you'll need an adapter that has the capabilities of connecting both flanges. Not sure what years this was, but I know this can be a complication on some Subaru's of certain years. http://www.rs25.com/forums/f14/t132823-ms3-exhaust-adapters-group-buy-ii.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
