I most likely have a complete exhaust for it in Colorado. Shipping is not cheap but neither are cats. What's up with yours that you are changing it? Did it come from the rust belt?

You most likely have a single port exhaust on the 96 2.2. You can find the aftermarket Y-Pipes and they are pretty good. Cats you can't get from the yards anymore, but can find them used. I have a few in Colorado Springs, CO. Mid and rear exhaust pipes can be swapped out. Just need to match the length.

Yep, I'm passing. Not worth $2000 for sure.

That would do it. Thanks

He had it checked by the local Subaru Dealer and they said it needs a short block? Well loved Impreza for sale, needs new short block (timing belt went out). Has brand new Blizzaks (less than 3 weeks old), brakes / rotors done 2 months ago. Car is in great shape except for the necessary engine swap. Great project for someone with the know how. https://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/d/colorado-springs-06-subaru-impreza/7053573916.html I'd think bent valves but a block? I don't know the newer ones like the old 90's so I thought I'd ask. Thanks

The HG on the 2.2 are not much of a problem. I would not do them unless you know they are bad. Check out www.car-part.com I'm sure you will find one with lower miles.

Get one from Colorado or another Rust free State. It will be worth the trip.

Tax write off is just what the Charity sells the car for. With the higher standard deduction, most folks don't get to claim charity donations anymore.

Just a drivers side.

I've found may at the You pull and pay yards. $40 complete. You could try www.car-part.com and ask them if they are KYB, no leaks and good top mounts.

Glad you got it. Happy New Year!

Have a good Drivers side Fog. $15 + shipping. If your in no rush I can bring it to PDX the next time I'm there.

I'd spend some time checking the rear diff/half shafts and the rest of the drive line before pulling the engine. Time well spent IMHO. Drain the trans, see what the gear lube looks like and if you get chunks. Hope it all goes well.

I'll check.

Which side/s do you need. I may have stock ones. Larry

You can still find good used ones in the yards. www.car-part.com I have purchased some off ebay, the aftermarket ones that I've installed all took a bit of work. Mounting and electrical.

All grounds were where they should be, clean and tight. I put in a second used Alt I had and it's charging fine. Battery and brake light off. Happy New Year! Larry

The PO did replace the HG. I'll look for the intake ground on the passenger side. Thanks

Crank pulley looked good. I thought about it. Thanks

Security system for your blinking lights. Find the little reset button under the drivers side dash. 1/8" black button ususlly.

Old Alt not putting out even 11.5 volts. Swapped in a use Alt. 13.5 to 14.1 when the RPM is up, but 11.9 at idle. Battery and Brake light still on. It was an ALT I had sitting as a spare I have another. After Christmas, I'll swap it in. Happy Holidays to all, Larry

Thanks

Friend sent me a text. Her 98 Forester, Auto had all of these come on at the same time. It's still running: CEL ABS Battery Light Brake Light Radio and Air Stopped. I'll head over and check the Alt Monday. I think I've seen these symptoms before.

All of them were manual trans, for me anyway.

Most likely just went down the spark plug wire and into the plug hole.
