dburdick Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastwgn286 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bard Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburdick Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 Okay. Thanks. I am new to Subaru, so I appreciate the response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerFahrer Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right with 97 - that's the phase 1.5 EJ22 with the solid lifters and interference design (boo on interference) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 My 96 imp with the 2.2 has the single port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strakes Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 My 96 imp with the 2.2 has the single port.96 is single and different than 95 dual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bard Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
