Am I right in assuming that a classic Impreza stainless backbox would fit a 2001 Forester? From what I can make out the only issue would be the tail would be behind the bumper.

Anyone got any pics of an Impreza exhaust on a Fozzy?

IIRC the pipe will hang lower below the diff without modification and you need different hangers.

Hi Scoobynutta
Been there, done that, even got a TSL 3.5" group N back box sitting in the shed if you are interested, very cheap and will bolt straight on to your centre pipe. It will need extending, got the one on my car now done at Top Gear in St Albans for £60
I am in Markyate, about 10 mins from you

Ahem.....sorry about the sales pitch, went off on one there.
Here are some pics of my first attempt at fitting the TSL box to the Foz meltage without modification, then my interim botch job to stop more melting, then after getting it extended properly.

A big thanks to John for his exhaust and help!

No problem mate, good to meet you and hope you like it. Let me know

John.

Did you extended just the tailpipe or the whole rear box ?

 

[FForester]

Extended on the opposite side of the tail pipe just behind the back box before the bend

I have a STi8 rear box, longer rubber hangers (SF centre section ones), extended tailpipe (Range Rover sport, looks just like the original Foz one!) and cut and shut the inlet pipe to lift it and stop it hanging low and stretching out the rubber holding the centre section.#
