Ya, my wrx is kind of a beater...its pretty thrashed. Its seen a LOT of dirt, mud, gravel, water, etc...and its a tank.
I thought the exhaust was stock, but i really have no idea. I havent been under the car yet. I have major plans for the car, so whats in it now isnt a huge concern, i'm gonna drive it for a bit as is while i assemble the goodies for it, then rip the car down to a shell, get the shell done, and then put it together with as much updated stuff as i can (interior, suspension/brakes, motor, etc), I'm looking to make it a fast street car, not a mudder.
should be an interesting (and somewhat longterm) project.
BTW, i know that a EJ22 will fit with some modifications, anyone know about the ej22t?
