97GrandTouring Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I found some headers on ebay I'm looking at , and I want to make sure they're going to fit my motor. They say they fit 1997-2005 Impreza/Legacy 2.5L in the title, but in the compatibility section it says 98-2005 Impreza (outback, 2 door, and 4 door) with the 2.5 motor. I figured they would fit mine because its still the EJ25, but i want to double check so i don't have to deal with returns if they don't. Thanks guys.

The 96-2004 Legacy has the same exhaust layout as a similar range Impreza/forester. The header I would spring would be a good quality eBay header (AMR, CNT, etc) basically any good quality Borla UEL or replica made for the 98-2004 IMpreza will work for your car.

NO trust me if any of the descriptions say "WRX" it is crap This is a very good setup: http://www.cntracing.com/Tsudo-EL-98-05-Subaru-Impreza-RS-Header-with-catle-p/01-0601-.htm It has many names Tsudo, CNT and I think AMR but these will fit without chopping or stretching and you get a cat-pipe IF you want that as aftermarket. And always these are solid no-headache, no hassle headers that will fit with no doubts: http://boxer4racing.3dcartstores.com/Header_c_313.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97GrandTouring Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Oh wow, that's a bit more than I was looking to spend... Is there something less expensive I can do to still get a good sound out of it? I'm on a high school budget Maybe just a muffler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on a high school budget Maybe just a muffler? Muffler wont get the result you seek but a you can get it with a UEL header. Look around eBay and find one in your price range. A used option you know this fits as it has been on a car already http://www.rs25.com/forums/f177/t180636-stromung-dual-tip-ebay-borla-reps.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviman Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I wouldn't buy that used one, check out the black marks on the flanges. That's an exhaust leak. It could be one of three things, bad head flange, bad gasket or bad header flange. Given that it's a cheap ebay header, it's probably the header flange. Ask the seller about it, maybe talk him down on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Black could be a bad exhaust manifold gasket, loose nut or yes a warped flange which a thick gasket could fix. Point is you know your price point and there are options out there to make it happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviman Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 True, and some time with a file could probably make it flat again anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
