You mean the hood on my car? Haha just rubbing it in a little. Congrats on the car!

 

This is a great forum for learning about your car (there are a lot of younger people in the second gen part learning also). Welcome to the forum!

[Snydas_99legacy]

Thanks from both of you, and yes = ( the hood u have.

 

Also do these fit in the factory bumper?

I already ordered the jdm bd5 one piece headlights

And some 55w hid's.

 

And today i had a custom exhaust made and installed 2.5 in pipe, and a magnaflow muffler. Its not as boxer sounding as i want any tips??

[98quiksilvergt]

You'll need to trim the holes to get them to fit. Also you'll need to make a bracket for them to mount it to the factory mounts. Don't put hid's in the projector fog lights. There isn't enough room for the heat. I did and I kept getting white powder stuff coating the entire inside of the housing blocking the light from coming out.

[98quiksilvergt]

You'll need an unequal length header to get the boxer burble!! You can get them on eBay too. About 130.00.

speedyracer.com's 2.5L headers

^^ that??

 

Will it work on my 2nd gen 99 legacy?? Also will it bolt up to the factory cat?

 

And is it safe to put 55w hids in the factory projector headlights??

I don't think those JDM fogs will work at all on a "L" bumper. They can be moddd to fit the GT bumpers though...

They can, the only part that differs on those bumpers, is where the grill sits and its longer underneath. Under the lights is the same as a GT bumper.

[Snydas_99legacy]

And is there any decent foglights for out bumpers that dont need modification??

 

And any answers on that header ^^??

 

Also i found out mine is the 30th anniversary model, so says the gold tag on my driver fender.

[subikid90]

Yes those are the headers, they fit and bolt up to the factory cat. I think Hella 550s if put upside down fit in the outback bumper fog light holes.

[Snydas_99legacy]

So even tho my car is a 2.2 the 2.5 impreza header works?? Is there a list anywhere on the site that shows all the stuff thats interchangable??

[Snydas_99legacy]

Also just bought this:

And bought these yesterday:

Cant wait to get them both. Will post pics up in a hour or so of the car.

 

 

Also anyone use this header? If so how is it? Which is better the one on speedyracer or this??

[subikid90]

Those headers are for dual port exhaust. You can always throw DOHC heads on. Some 2.2s are DOHC I believe so you might be able to use them. Otherwise your other choice is MS3 headers which are 300ish.

[Snydas_99legacy]

can u give me a link?? = D also waiting on damn photobucket to finish uploading then ill get some pics up!

[98quiksilvergt]

You have to make sure you have two exaust ports on your head. If you do, it will work. The anniversary edition should have the 2.5 shouldn't it?

[98quiksilvergt]

Yes you can use hid's in the jdm head lights. You will be able to see everything!!!! H1 for low beam, H3 for high beam. DDMtuning.com has the best prices.

[Snydas_99legacy]

^^ i thought they took 9007 bi xenon bulbs??

It is all the same except it had a trailer hitch on it and it had a stock exhaust.

which of these 2 would work better for the car?

93-01 impreza

5spd + Sunroof + Clean = Oh my goodness! Sexy indeed!

Okay, for starters, that L has a SOHC Phase 2 EJ22 (higher compression pistons than previous EJ22Es). It has 140hp/145ft-lbs (engine output) & is an improvement over the previous EJ22Es. I don't know if MS3 still makes a header for this because when I tried to get a header from him, he was having some issues (this prompted me to bolt DOHC heads on & put '99 pistons in the block.) But you DO have single port heads.

 

Quick FYI on EJ22:

Phase 1: This came in N/A or Turbo. Both engines are really good but the turbo EJ22 is hard to find. N/A = Open deck. Turbo = Closed deck. The EJ22s that we have here in America are ALL SOHC (turbos included).

 

Phase 2: This is the type of EJ22 that came in the Legacy of 1999 & the Imprezas of 99+. There are 2 variations like before (N/A & Turbo->22B). The differences from Phase 1 are the cams, pistons, & crank bearings. As a result of these changes, the engine produces more power. I don't know if it's any more reliable but EJ22s in general are good engines.

Very nice car! Your us headlights use bi 9007. The JDM projector headlights use H1 low beam and H3 high beam. That looks like GT front bumper to me. Not sure, I'm looking at it on my iPhone. Small pic.

[DOHCEJ22E1]

looks like GT front bumper to me.

1998-99 Legacy Ls were given GT front bumpers (hood scoops specific to GTs/Outbacks). You could even put GT fog lamps on if you'd like. Might have have to do some wiring though but it won't be bad or take too long at all.
