Hey I had a quick question for everyone I just found out the motor on my 96 legacy outback 2.2 is old smokey...There is a motor from a 95 legacy 2.2 at the wrecking yard would it work in my 96?

The 96 very likely had EGR so it's replacement will need to also (which means a 95 AUTO engine is needed).

 

Other than that you'll need the 95's dual port Ypipe.

 

Or any dual port Ypipe(like off any 95-99) 2.5 DOHC.

 

If you had a USEFUL location someone near you might have one. Like I probably still have 6 of these in the rafters.

96 outback 2.2 will not have EGR.

 

It will be single port exhaust.

 

95 legacy motor will have dual ports so yes you'll need y-pipe. 95 w/auto is EGR, w/manual trans will be no EGR....that would be the best.
