Mbohn007 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I have an 08 Legacy 2.5i. All I can find is intakes for the GT model. Will a GT intake fit on the 2.5i? Also having the same problem with coilovers and exhaust, will parts made for the GT fit on a 2.5i? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbohn007 Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 From what Ive read, a GT catback system will fit the 2.5i. I appreciate the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Never tried. But, the piping is WAY different coming off the motor and meeting the CBE. A search should reveal answers. Use a site search from google rather than the search tool here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 using the search function may get you tonsssss of results for this topic. Ok so, the intakes for the GT will not fit a 2.5i. AVO I think is working on an intake system for the 2.5i. However most people suggest just getting a better panel air filter, I have the AVO one. It's been said that the stock intake isn't that restrictive, although with a panel filter and catback exhaust and a tune, you can likely get a good 20-25hp at the wheels increase. Between those three things your lookin at about $600-800 roughly depending on where you get the catback system and tune. The GT catbacks do fit. The rear sway bars compatible with the GT fit our 2.5i, the front does not, you'll need a 2.5i n/a sway bar (rallitek makes one). Endlinks are the same, except for the rallitek rear's (need to be lowered). In terms of engine and exhaust(forward of the cat) the GT parts are not compatible since we do not have a turbo. All in all, all of the compatible GT suspension parts are compatible with the 2.5i except for the front sway bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Thanks for the clarification. As long as the flange is in the right position (and it makes sense that Subaru would do that as a cost cutting measure) than the CBE should fit. Apparently they do, and I learned something today.
