October 13, 200619 yr I have a 99 Outback Sport exhaust system that my brother is willing to give me for my 91 Legacy L. The Outback and Legacy both have a 2.2L engine. Will the exhaust bolt right up, or will this not work?
October 13, 200619 yr well, it isnt so much dependent on the engine as it is dependent on the body. an OBS (impreza) exhaust on a legacy wont work, as you would need to reroute some pieces and redo hangers and just isn't cost effective (heck, it might not even be long enough to exit out the back)
October 14, 200619 yr Aren't the '96 and later EJ22 exhausts dual-port? And the ones earlier than '96 single-port? So they won't even match up coming off the engine.
October 14, 200619 yr Aren't the '96 and later EJ22 exhausts dual-port? And the ones earlier than '96 single-port? So they won't even match up coming off the engine. Other way around. 96 and later are single port if I'm not mistaken.
October 14, 200619 yr Manarius is right, the later EJ22's are single port. I wanna say 97 and later myself, but I could be wrong. NOW... a later model Legacy exhaust will fit on an older Legacy. I have a stock 98 Legacy GT catback exhaust on my 91 Legacy. It was mainly because I got a really good deal on it, and it had the larger single-tip, which I preferred over the two smaller tips.

You're probably right with 97 - that's the phase 1.5 EJ22 with the solid lifters and interference design (boo on interference)
October 14, 200619 yr If your old exhaust is falling apart, you can have a muffler shop custom bend the pipes for you and place the newer muffler and resonators on your 1991. That may save you some cash. I went through 2 aftermarket mufflers that droned. I finally took an used low mileage '02 model legacy/outback muffler and had it welded onto the '93 legacy. It's nice and quiet now.
October 15, 200619 yr My 96 imp with the 2.2 has the single port.96 is single and different than 95 dual.
October 15, 200619 yr Other way around. 96 and later are single port if I'm not mistaken. Ah, well... at least I was only backwards. It's better than being completely wrong ;o)
