Hey guys.
I am trying to sort out UE length headers for a family member who has a 2.5L NA liberty. He wanted some UE and he wants to do it on a budget because he is basically a poor uni student. I found these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Subaru-Fores ... 3ab1bde403 wonder if they would bolt straight up or if it will require some modification. I havent looked under his car to see where it all links up. if you know of any cheaper/better please post a link. Thanks.

They will bolt up no problem but you will need to modify the center section of the exhaust to suit and cut a bit of the undercar cover out.

Depending on what model, it will also throw a CEL for P0420 rendering the car nearly undriveable

Not necessarily, the O2 sensors simply need to be relocated. I have this set up in my car and not once has it thrown a DTC fault code.

Having said this, it is not cheap to bolt these headers up after you have fabbed a new center section and extended your O2 sensor wiring. Plus you run the risk of stuffing the thread on your O2 sensors which are very expensive to replace.

Ahh them codes ahahah, I'm considering going catless with my GT but I dont want to throw a code so I am buying an AVO dump or something and getting the custom dump I have now and making that catless. Okay Okay, I will let him know what he will have to do if he goes with it. The local guy who made my dump and probably sort some of that out... but he is busy as.

Thanks Hayden and Matt.

No problem mate, be very careful if you decide to delete the catalytic converter as the fines are huge. May be worth considering a high flow cat instead.
If you need any help with the header install, let me know. I have done exactly this to my car and can get you some pictures to help you visualize what is needed.
