taz ride Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 :popcorn:Hey All, We are the proud owner of a 1998 Impreza Outback Sport wagon. High mileage but body and interior great shape. The mileage is 247000 all highway miles. It comes with all of the repair sheets and related paper work. We will be the third owner. The person sold it to me for $500.00 because it has a hole in the exhaust pipe and the dealer told him it was about 800.00 to replace the complete exhaust system. This is our second subaru at this time. We have owned 9 subarus up to now, starting with a 79 FE 2 door coupe. We are just so happy we can`t to drive them in the snow...

J A Blazer Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 $500? Quite a deal . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I think I saw that car on craigslist. Was it in the DC area? Depends on what part of the exhaust has the hole, $800 could be cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taz ride Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Yes this car was on craigslist Annapolis.. There is a hole in the pipe in front of the cat. Was quoted a price from Scotti Muffler for complete system front to back out the door for $450.00. They did my system on my 87 subie gl10 turbo 4x4 wagon.

Rooster2 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Find a muffler shop that does the cut, pipe bend, weld in, type of exhaust work. Many times they are a private family owned shop. I have had this type of work done on my two Subies. New portion of pipe installed, and out the door cost of less then $50. Two years later, exhaust system still works great. The big name (chain store) muffler shops always want to install a complete exhaust system for big bucks, when only a portion of a pipe has gone bad. Recommend a cut, bend pipe, weld in, type shop if you can find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
