brelandt Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I just completed a search on this forum but wasn't able to find what I thought I wanted. maybe you can help? My '98 Legacy GT wagon's pipes are starting to hang down a lot and makes a bit of blow by. I rather just install a new system from engine to tail pipe than mess around with a 16 yr old rusting exhaust. Anybody have experience with a certain manufacturer? Did everything line up the first time? Not looking to spend $1000 or more from Subaru. More like $400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnstrmech Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I simply looked up the parts from my local NAPA (Indiana) and CARB compliant cats alone are $415 for front cat and $342 for the second cat..... $140 for muffler and $157 for "header".. not including petty stuff like spring bolt kit or gaskets.. or fresh rubber hangers.... but i only deal with NAPA.... cause im a tech at a NAPA repair shop. Doing it yourself will be much cheaper than a shop.. those figures i posted are OUR cost.. Every time we use NAPA exhaust parts, they line up and install nicely.

brelandt Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 I found a complete set through Rockauto for $400. It's made by Bosal and I have no experience with this company. Not sure if it would be better to just piece this thing back together with OEM parts as more money comes in or if this company makes parts that will be satisfactory to use on a 16 year old car. Not looking to break the bank on such an old car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnstrmech Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=5943438&cc=1305504 You talking this kit?..... Thats not a bad price, it just doesn't include the cats, which if the flanges are good then why change those... Bosal is just fine for any car... especially a 16yr old car....

compsurge Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Do you need CARB stamps on the cats for your car? If so, be sure the cats you get are CARB compliant. Bosal is a good brand and makes many OEM and OEM replacement parts. I haven't bought anything from them in years though, but a replacement exhaust component on my last car was of very good quality.

brelandt Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 That's the kit on Rock Auto I was referring to. Looked fine for my needs. Now to find a Cat for cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osei Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Look for someone parting out a compatible unit. Junkyards are not allowed to sell used cats in your state. O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
