Forester headers on a Liberty?

[Kody.B]

Thought I'd edit my original post instead of a new one.

Will headers off an NA 2003 Forester fit on an NA Lib?

Try eBay for UELs.. Have seen them on there before (bought some for a previous car actually)
Borla replica iirc

As for the gaskets it's probably more to do with the gaskets that come with cheap exhausts can be shit.. Just a guess though.

Cheers Zach, I'll look it up

I've looked it up, I've found some that may be it (not Borla Replicas but something of the sort).
Do I need to be worried about the fitment with them being LHD?

I think that's an Unequal Length, but I don't know what they look like tbh XD

Thats where I got mine from, someone interstate had imported them from the USA and was selling them from around $400-500 delivered. Borla replicas, this was 4 years ago though and I left them on my old car when I sold it

Oh and I'm fairly sure that the fitment is the same for RHD and LHD, it wasn't a problem when I bought mine from the US.

I can't find any of the Replicas. Only headers in the US but they're a similar price to ones in Australia

[zch91]

Mine were around the 350 mark delivered from the US I think.. Going back a whole now though. Maybe find out if the best mufflers ones are UEL? Post up a pic it's easy to tell.

EDIT: They look exactly like these.. I'm guessing they're the ones you've just seen on eBay.

From what I understand, these from Best Mufflers are equal length:


And these are UEL:


Edit: yeah they're the exact ones. Are the WRX/RS engines are different to Lib 2.5's?

[zch91]

You are correct.

[Kody.B]

You are correct.

I don't get told that often XD

Bloody L platers

Haha, we can annoy you in more ways than just doing 80kph in a 100 zone

It annoys me how they say Legacy in the title yet they don't mention them again in the description -.-

It really doesnt make much of a difference.. Although while I'm thinking of it, I read somewhere on OzFoz about the UEL headers not fitting 06+ for some reason.. Obviously your lib is an 04 but something to think about..

The ones you posted above ^ are definitely the cheapest I can find on eBay..

Ill double check with a mechanic for fitment but that seems to be the way to go.
I can't get over how cheap exhausts are for Libs.
Under $1k for headers and a catback.
My friends have all spent north of 1k on headers.

I doubt that the 2.5 in the Impreza and Lib would be different in the exhaust?

Yeah, they wouldn't. I'm 98% sure they'll fit fine, and sound awesome for that matter.

Yeah Subarus are pretty well supported in the aftermarket industry thankfully... But hey if you really wanna go that way....

Hahaha, cheap and cheerful is more than fine for me!
I don't care what's underneath it, I just want the sound.
By the time I get quads on, it will probably creep over the 1k mark, since Ultrex are sold out.
That only leaves TCPs and STI mufflers as far as I know, and they're around $600 aren't they?

Thanks for your help, I suppose I'll get an idea if they'll fit if I get underneath the car and have a look.
