Soo this weekend between a 3000 word paper and a site report, i scurried up enough courage to pull the motor out and drop a new engine crossmember in right before work .. .. ...
yeahh rrighttt
i prop'd the car up and whipped out the angle grinder and ripped out an inch off the crossmember.
may as well i just file it down a bit right ? - , and i do mean a bit
i m quite sure there is no loss of integrity here on the c-member

above is the exhaust installed ,
gasket maker and the gaskets that arrived with the exhaust make a great seal
-
i did have to remove the front swaybar for this exhaust to fit , headers are OBX for a '98-'05 impreza 2.5 RS
not a huge deal , all this is temporary until the real motor is built
it sounds BeefY !
like chunk'i soup beefY!
next is finishing up on the rest , cut and paste sorta stuff

Vclip of 0-60, then 60-100^^
3/4 throttle
Quality is a bit rough.. the exhaust is yet to be sealed, so its a bit loud still.
next is plugs& wires

as far as i can tell yess it is permanant, i have a turbo front swaybar and the bends colide with the pipe
non-turbo may be a different story

heay again here is the latest updates on the engine "upgrade"
I m tearing out the current EJ25 over the next two weeks for a younger prettier 2.5 from this 98 forrester S .. the red one
over the winter the legacy over-heat and threw a rod.. yess another one
I also have some pictures of the finished exhaust after one winter, as you can see, the new headers fit to the existing chassi and also the cat-back portion is from a '98 legacy/outback, this is stock equipment on all the stock mounting hangars with a subaru mufler . IMO No easier upgrade than this for novices and a huge difference for off-the-line ie; no stumbling starts in place of the original equipment .
I' ll see if the front sway bar on the forester will fit the legacy now with the new headers -cause that would be sweet.
