View Full Version : exhaust bends etc. ferretboy 03-28-2001, 09:25 PM Hey there guys! Just wondering if anyone knows if the dimensions/bends from the cat back is the same on the pipes of a '98 to '01 forester as well as hanger locations and stuff? ~ferretboy mr.subaru 03-29-2001, 02:39 PM ferretboy- the exhuast layout from a '98 to a '01 is exactly the same. everything right down to the hangers regardless of the fact that the '98 was doc and '99 and up are soc!!!! juice 03-29-2001, 02:43 PM Yep, same, but they are different than Imprezas. -juice bryanw 03-29-2001, 02:57 PM Yea, I think the first dude misunderstood the question. I believe the question is if the Forester exhaust pipe dimensions are the same as the Impreza RS. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe the Forester ever saw the DOHC 2.5. I believe the '98 Forester was the first Subaru to use the new SOHC 2.5.

I believe the '98 Forester was the first Subaru to use the new SOHC 2.5. I hope this is true, because that gives me another year to choose from in my Forester project, but everything I have seen indicates the Forester followed the Impreza engine revisions. 98 - DOHC with MAF 99 - SOHC with MAF 00 - SOHC with MAP 01 - SOHC with MAP Anyoine with a 98 want to confirm this? mr.subaru 03-29-2001, 04:59 PM confirming-'98 forester was a dohc, pulled up an old brochure at my dealership! -also since i miss understood orginal question the answer is still yes if you are comparing forester to impreza exhuast layout, it is the same but hangers are located in different locations, as a matter of fact it is also the same as a legacy just for the records. ferretboy 03-29-2001, 11:31 PM Thanks a lot for the info guys! Now I can order up my Rallispec exhaust, http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif Aaron B. you have some ideas for a forester?? very interesting. ~ferretboy signing out. juice 03-30-2001, 09:14 AM I can guarantee my '98 has the DOHC Phase I engine. Easy way to tell? Higher redline. -juice Ken S 03-30-2001, 10:09 AM Yep, 98 Forester = 2.5 DOHC w/wire MAF. The Forester and Impreza RS have received the same engines and trannys at the same time, as far as I know. Ken |
