ok guys i just bought a 2003 2.5RS(bastards wouldnt give me a wrx :cry: ). But thats ok because I can get a turbo for 4-5,000 and get more power for the same price. I know i can get a 2.5 turbo from an earlier year model but can i get an exhaust from an earlier model? I havent found any exhausts for 02+ years RS' yet.

My Credit wasnt good enough for a wrx...they would give me $27,000
Eclipse but not a $25,000 wrx. my credit was rated at 610 and they wanted a 700+. I dont mind a 2.5 rs though and ill be able to get a wrx or STi in 2 years.

You can basically install "any" exhaust that you want...

what are you after?

2.5" 3"...
cat back?
manifolds back?

it's all out there...
get what you want and have a professional exhaust tuner ship install it for you....

my exhaust on my 01 2.5 RS is made for a 00 Turbo.... (UK)
but i had a custom center pipe and exhaust hangers fabbed...
and it fits, works and is awesome... :)

hope this helps...
cheers

Thx :). I figuerd i would have to a custom exhaust.

I'm wondering what your are running your boost at and what else u have do if anything to your car?
Is 01 the new or old body style?

actually no... here in the U.S.
the 01 2.5 RS is the old body style...

piccy of the car:

with the added intake and exhaust,
i'm sure the car gained minimal hp... but as it's an NA engine, i've got no boost to run :D

cheers

Ooops! Sorry for disinforming. I thought that Subaru started new style in 2001...
Can you put a twin turbo into '02 WRX? And will it help much? What are the best rims for '02 WRX?

The guys at NASIOC (http://www.nasioc.com) would argue that.
