Our dump pipe is not the same as a wrx at all. Who ever told you that is wrong

I asked X-Force directly and they told me it's the same:

Actually, the down-pipe for 2004-2009 Liberty GT is the same as WRX latest model down-pipe.
SUBARU WRX 2009 Sedan Mild Steel Dump pipe (EM-SW08-FSC)
SUBARU WRX 2009 Sedan Stainless Steel Dump pipe (ES-SW08-FSC)


Can anyone confirm this?

And which downpipe would suit the Liberty with direct fitment (without changing the steering knuckle etc)?

Lol another croc of poo poo from X-Force. I called up their retailer here in SA back last year (not the X-Force vendor on this forum, who's actually a good bloke) , they told me that X-Force don't make an exhaust system for the Libs. This surprised me seeing as it was listed on their website with pictures and all.

I asked Taylor from this forum who deals with x-force parts and he informed me "X force wrx 08 dump pipe is what you want". So I am guessing that x-force were right.

Does the X-Force Dump Pipe (or any other brand) go straight to the cat back system or it only goes upto the midpipe?

"Actually, the down-pipe for 2004-2009 Liberty GT is the same as WRX latest model down-pipe."

So one downpipe fits pre facelift and facelift 2004-2009 liberty's and the latest wrx. What a load of horse shit from Xforce. Goodluck with getting it to fit and be suitable, let us know how you go.

Sorry I forgot to add this part: "You will need to change the flange on the turbo end to suit your twin scroll turbo".

This is coming from X-Force and also a reputable seller on this forum aswell.

Can anyone confirm which brand and part WILL be a direct fit for the 2004 Liberty 2.0L GT Auto?

That is not an easy task and will cost a bit.
Why would you not buy a DP that is designed to directly bolt on instead?

PHAT GT can make dump pipes for the auto prefacelift. and i think places like avo and hks might also.

That's why I have asked on this forum, what brands DO make a direct fit for the automatic pre-facelift Liberty?

I know PHAT GT does them, but want to find out other options also.
