eBay link (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-EXHAUST-HEADER-98-05-Subaru-Impreza-2-5RS-2-5L_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33631QQihZ003QQitemZ130197877344QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW)

and i have a '98 legacy...same motor right? ej25. but im not sure about the fitment..

[DLC]

Yes, it will fit.

Looks like it comes with a cat too, very nice.

[2.5GT]

awesome..for that price i cant complain :grin:

[decke48]

some legacys have a downstream 02 bung right after the cat(about 3inches after the upstream) and some have a 02 bung back further near where the mid pipe bolts up(like in the ebay pick)

[2.5GT]

do you think the wires will stretch that far? to reach the holes..

[decke48]

it wont stretch that far . i don't know if the make an extender wire for specifically for the legacy o2s.heres one for a wrx 4pin 30in. i don't think there any different there both 4 pins http://shopping.lightningmotorsports.co ... ductid=782 (http://shopping.lightningmotorsports.com/customer/product.php?productid=782) you cant cut into o2 wires it messes up the voltage to much that you might set a check engine

how did you find those OBX headers? it seems like they almost all went away..

however I hear if you get the OBX headers you need to have custom work done because of the way the headers face vs the stock or borla headers.

[2.5GT]

ebay lol

and what do you mean work done? is it hitting on something when installed?

[1-3-2-4]

the way the OBX header output faces is not the same as the borla headers.

[2.5GT]

oh yeah..i see what you're talking about.

yeah thats what I was talking about I dunno I haven't heard anything about the OBX headers cracking but I've heard many about the borla.

[DLC]

TWE and Cobb EL are like the OBX.

TWE vs Borla

man yours cracked as well?

[2.5GT]

Thats a crazy designed header there :)

those cost a fortune tho! lol

[rougeben83]

The OBX will fit fine on the BD. Patrick Olsen over on NASIOC has had it on his for a few years now...you can PM him him over there if you're worried about the 02 sensor wiring. I don't think it'll be a problem though.

The "cat" section isn't a cat btw, it's just a resonator. You'll need to replace the resonator with a hi-flo cat if you don't want to get CEL's (which can still happen even with the mechanical spacer fix on the rear 02).

[DLC]

Yeah, my Borla set cracked.

The TWEs are a fortune, but I got lucky and snagged a used one, like rougeben83, for a fraction of the price they are new.

The design is a bit wacky, but it makes the runners long and equal-length.

Not surprised that the OBX doesn't have a cat for that price.

So does it look identical to the one i posted?

Yes, the OBX is only one design. It's based off of the Cobb EL header design I think.

[2.5GT]

so its final, it will fit...now awaits tax return :grin:
