Danhall51 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Besides the different headers I'm pretty sure it shoul bolt on. I'm just making sure before I spend a lot money if only the axel backs bolt on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 all 05-09 legacy gt catbacks bolt on to your car. headers, no. you'll have to look into that rallisport thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnout8488 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 GT catbacks don't bolt on to an 05, the cat is about 4" shorter. You need some cheap and simple exhaust shop magic (a small extension welded up) to get a catback to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmx045 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Interesting. The GMS lgt catback bolted right up to my 09 2.5i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Interesting. The GMS lgt catback bolted right up to my 09 2.5i The 2005 2.5i is the odd man out of the BL series. The 2005 2.5i still uses the Impreza exhaust layout so any BL LGT CBE will need to be extended and clocked to mate to the mid-pipe. The might not be able to use LGT CBE's but they can run Borla UEL's without having to mod the rest of the exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danhall51 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Wait so because I have a 2005 2.5i then that means i can't bolt on a CBE???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Wait so because I have a 2005 2.5i then that means i can't bolt on a CBE???? Not an BL LGT CBE. But you can bolt on UEL headers so is it really that bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danhall51 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Im not interested in getting headers just a new exhaust since mine is about to break off from the rust lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviman Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 just curious why you would want to get headers Because the 2.5is have equal length headers stock, which makes them sound more normal and less 'subaru-y' when the exhaust is loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18GForester Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 No s***!!! I had no idea they were equal. Headers FTW all the way.. Unequal of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
