I just found a bunch of these 97-00 turbo-back exhaust systems on ebay. Does anyone know how well these would fit on our SS'?
Look, it even has the mount for the DP to trany...

This 02-06 system looks pretty much the same actually.

Some of the WRX videos on youtube sure make these kits sound good.

No I haven't. I was hoping for some more feedback...

That looks to be a pretty good deal. I might get one as I'm currently running a stock DP ghetto-connected to my factory n/a cat-back. Can't say I'm a big fan of the muffler, though.

Get the SR*S catback system. It's $250 shipped, and the videos on youtube make it sound beefy. Still, the question stands on whether or not the WRX kits will bolt onto a Legacy.

they bolt on fine, but you need to have a muffler shop or someone with a welder add about a 6" extension in the midpipe. our cars are just a little longer than the imprezas.

You can make them fit by moving the hangers and extending them a little.

I know the 02+up systems have to be extended and have the hangers moved...
I just wanted to know if there is any difference between this 97-00 kit and the newer kits for the current WRX's.
I was wondering if maybe this 97-00 system had the hangers in the correct location...

Your right those SR*S systems do look a bit better.

I believe you still have to move the hangers. If I recall correctly only one hanger is different between the GC and the GD.

OK. Thanks vrg. I guess I'll just piece together a system I really want for a couple hundred more.

It just too bad you can't get a Borla hush muffler by itself...
or can you? Anyone seen just the muffler f/s? And if so, where?
Sorry to hyjack, but IMHO that muffler would be the perfect replacement on one of these cheap systems.

Still, $280 shipped for an U/P, long tube bellmouth D/P, and full exhaust system isn't a bad price at all. I'd almost consider that for my '92.

I'm using a WRX cheapo system and it works great. I had to add 5-6" to the axelback, but no big deal. I wasn't about to spend a pile of loot on an exhaust that I ended up hacking apart for a rotated mount anyways.
