Exclamation grill guard and fog lamps

Hi,
New to this forum and I just purchased an 09 Impreza Outback Sport....super cool to drive!
Hoping to get some questions answered as I'm wanting to add a couple things:
1. Is there a grill guard made for this model Suby? I want to mount some rally lights to the front as I drive in the snow for part of the year.
2. Suggestions on replacing the stock fog lights mounted in the lower fairing?

Thanks everyone!

Again, welcome!

I am going to be doing the leather wrap steering wheel cover and find some nice seat covers to keep that super light beige interior somewhat clean. I am also going to have the windows tinted sometime..and I should have gotten the alloys but I can always get something different later.



I took me camera with me to the dealer to pick it up that night but I am a picture junkie I want to see pics of everyone elses!!





And like Pepper said...ours cars are HAWT...the secret society of HAWT cars


My only issue with mine so far is just all the tan! It’s too much! I painted the center console and it has seemed to help as well as a black skull shift knob.

Default 2010 2.5i Catback Exhaust

Hi I’m new to the subbie world and am in search of a Catback Exhaust. I am trying to figure out if a 08-11wrx exhaust will fit the 2.5i as I will not be using anything except from the Cat back. Thanks

Hey guys ,


Newbie here ... posting my first obligatory reply as per forum rules !
Been browsing through for a few years while maintaining my son's first 04 Outback , and now his more recent 08 WRX.


I just picked up an 09 Impreza hatchback for myself as a daily driver after dumping too much money in an 06 Mazda 3 that became a rust bucket.
Hopefully my Impreza will be better on fuel than my F150 ... main reason for my daily driver to get around.I've been on the Porsche forums for some 10 years,and now looking forward to the Subaru community !


Cheers
Phil

Hello Everyone

I have an ‘08 Impreza wagon and a ‘17 Outback. I dont think I’ll ever own another brand of car.

Where should I start if I want to lift my imp?

Thanks

Hey guys,

Been lurking this thread for a while, and I've finally decided to get a new exhaust for my OBS...

I really love the sound of the Tsudo N1, but I can't for the life of me find one for sale anywhere! All I've found is the S2, but there aren't any videos of them on an Impreza. Would you guys happen to know of any Tsudo N1's (or possibly a similar sounding exhaust) for sale anywhere? I'm on stock headers as of now, hopefully UEL somewhere down the road.

Thanks!

I’ve had my eyes on the RalliSport Racing UEL’s because it still has a cat on it. I’ve heard deleting the cat with the O2 sensor causes CEL’s, and from images I’ve seen it looks like there isn’t a cat on there. I could be wrong.

Thanks though!

Yeah, I’ve seen the S2 all over the place. It looks like the only difference is the flex pipe, but I’m not 100% sure and I can’t find any videos of what they sound like on an 08-11 Impreza. If they sound the same, then I’d for sure go for it.
