Nice, but looks like it has the wastegate crack.

I would get that welded up just to be sure. Also, the oil supply line is different for that turbo vs the TD04. I wasn't sure if you knew that, and it would suck to get the turbo in the car and find that out.

I installed the full catback because the boxer rumble puts kids to sleep and I'm convinced having that STi resonator under the child seat helps encourage them to fall asleep even more.

Also I had to slightly modify my u-haul 3500lb hitch to get the muffler centered but it was just some dremmeling nothing serious.

I have a spare STI muffler that I plan on installing, but I might hold on to it for now and install it on my next car.... I'm highly contemplating replacing the P11, Legacy GT is on the list, just wish they were bigger (more trunk space!)

Love the boxer rumble, it's the best sound a 4 cylinder can make. Deep, no rasp, sound very turboish even na.

Yeah I hear you. Forester is nowhere near as big on the inside as I thought. But its also much more like a sports car so.... I'm ok with that.

STi catback isn't compatible with Legacy GT. You should just throw it on the Forester. I like the rumble ok I guess, its basically only from the unequal header primaries (subie folks call it a header not exhaust manifold)

I like the size of the Fozzy, it still feels small like the B15, has an awesome turning radius, and I can fit a giant shelf in the back. I was helping a friend move and we both were surprised by how much we could fit into this puppy. Back leg room is plenty too, I'm very pleased by that, to top it off plenty of head room, too much for me, but mine has no sun roof.

I bet I could weld up and make the STI muffler work on the Legacy GT. Heck I've done it on 3 Nissans I've owned so I don't see why not. Fun fact, STI muffler is stock quiet on my B15 (Stock DET with 3" exhaust). I was watching my wife autocross the B15 and the car sounded bone stock.

@Vadim you realize the Legacy GT has the muffler located on the passenger side right? Look at Connor's;

That STi catback should go on your's or Blair's car and soon. :P
