Legacy 07 Wagon addons

[Legallegacy07]

Hey team,

 

 

Im looking at adding a bit of flare to my current stock Subaru Legacy 07 GT Wagon, and wanting to know what kind of body parts are cross-compatible with this JDM wagon. Firstly I am wanting to source a mesh grill for this 07 Wagon. Not a fan of the split grill the JDM 07 Legacy comes with so that is my first modification. 

 

What options do I have when it comes performance parts (springs, roll bars, strut brace etc, body kits, and even engine parts.) I am quite new to the Subaru world so any help with what kind of "performance" parts are interchangeable with the 07 Legacy Wagon would be much appreciated. (turbos, intercoolers, exhausts, suspension, interior etc)

 

 

How easily do Sedan STI parts work with Wagons? I can imagine suspension parts aren't quite plug and play, but any insight is much appreciated.

 

 

Thanks!

Majority of "performance" parts are interchangeable within B13 Legacy platform which is any Legacy from mid 2003 to mid 2008, BL and BP chassis. 

 

Keep in mind that yours is a facelift and some of the interior/exterior parts are different - different grilles/bumpers, different stereo/steering wheel/instrument panel etc. 

Rear springs will have different ratings between sedans and wagons, sedan mufflers will have shorter tips and will be slightly tucked in under a wagon bumper (still a direct bolt-on). Front swaybars will differ between turbo/NA versions, rears are all the same, the same will apply to aftermarket bracing (underbody only), strut braces are all the same.

Are you still talking about Legacies?

Thanks for that insight! 

 

Yea still talking about Legacies, but now that I really think about it, is the STI version really just a bigger/better engine/turbo combination? Are STI Legacy Wagons basically the same shell as the Legacy GT Wagon? 

 

Big thing though was that you mentioned Exhausts are pretty much the same, just slightly shorter on a Wagon as I've been looking at getting a cat back exhaust for this car and can only usually find ones for "Sedans".

Have you considered just using plastidip to black out all the chrome parts of the current grille. You'll be surprised how much ’tougher’ they look just with less chrome.

 

Engine and turbo are the same for tbSTI models. The shell is identical. They just have a few bolt on braces, suspension and interior/exterior ’sporty’ trim differences. 

 

Exhausts look weird if you get them from the wrong body type. 

If you have money to burn you should grab a Q300 setup from @mlracing.co.nz. That's what I have on mine. I prefer quad tips to twin cannons but everyone has different tastes in this department.

From my experience some aftermarket sedan mufflers actually look all good when fitted on a wagon. STI/Genome definitely has to be a correct version.
