krizzo Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Hi all, Just wondering if the stock exhaust is aluminium or stainless, havent figured this out yet, hoping for a little guidance. Thanks in advance, Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Clark Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Should be steel. Aluminum won't hold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDad Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 While I can't say about the Impreza- most of the Subarus I've seen have the corrosion resistant steel (FYI- true stainless has been found to be to brittle for use in exhaust systems) About the only thing to worry about with it- it will crack- I usually figure in the neighborhood of 3-4 time longer than regular steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dklein90 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 are ther any good aftermarket exhaust systems out there for Subarus. Something a little more sporty but not out of control? I know that Borla makes some good cat back systems for Jeeps, is there anything like that for a Roo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Clark Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 krizzo, Aluminum will get chalky white as it corrodes, unlike steel which will turn the reddish color due to the iron content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krizzo Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 there is a previous repair between the cats that is leaking. Any creative repair suggestions are appreciated here. I will be replacing the motor in the next six months, if anyone can suggest a source in the CO area, please let me know. My previous vehicle was 86 300zx, this station wagon is much more responsive! Thanks again for the input, Kris I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
