@88Psychic Good luck with the search! I hope you find and get one someday. I ended up getting a second Subaru I liked them so much. A 2007 black STI. Its only a Daily driver though. No plans on modifying that one at all. But this silver RS is getting a STI turbo/intercooler swap this month :D
@mike741222 Yes, but the gears started to go bad. I ended up swapping Legacy GT 5-Speed Gears into it. Still the same 5 speed response but a lot stronger.
If you get an Impreza make sure it has zero rust. Mainly in the rear quarter panels. Other than that its awesome. It was a fun build, and definitely a fun car. Expensive though.. I paid East Coast Swappers to do my swap and a local shop put in a LegacyGT transmission in after parts in the RS transmission wore away (cant handle the power).
Up and down pipes are different. Uppipe is before the turbo and a downpipe is the exhaust flowing out of the turbo and down and out the back of the car.
thats what i would do but i might just try going all jdm about how much did you spend doing your swap

nice i was thinking about about doing the same thing, do you think the engine swap was easy because i was either going to do that or go jdm

aint uppipe and downpipe the same when talking about turbos?

More like a WRX engine swap, catless up pipe, catless 3 inch downpipe midpipe to a turboxs axle back.
My preswapped engine never sounded like this.

@CRedfield714
true u cant get that true boxer rumble unless your swapped, but i was sayying if he was still n/a then uel's and headers are the way to go.
