quick question

[driftrex]

i have a bc5 legacy sedan and a wrx wagon exhaust i want to fit to it, i know it will bolt up but are they the same length? anyone know for sure before i bother trying it?

[Guest keltik]

Nope they arent, but with small modifcation you can get it to fit. I think i had to chop about 3inches out of my one

Or was it add 3 inches.....i forget

totally no use or relevance here.. but i know the sedan (bc5) to legacy wagon of same era arent the same length... requires about 3" adding gng from sedan to wagon.

same going from wrx to legacy (bh) required 3" addiing.

two examples that i know of

going fron sedan to wrx wagon tho ??? ??? Good luck ;D

note: wrx sedan and wagon use same chassis...

so if a bc5 sedan one is the shorter of the 2 (legacy wagon/sedan), and wrx wagon and sedan are the same then that sounds like it should be the right length.

unless there are 3 different lengths here?

i doubt it would be to much difference that it wouldn't fit, mite look stupid but should fit

BC5 and GC/GF exhausts are interchangable generally, both my BC5s have exhausts that came off WRXs on them, one off a GC, one off a GF, both fit perfectly, you do need to extend the tip if putting them on a BF though.

BG/BD legacies are VERY different, you need to add 10cm to the mid-pipe on a BG, but a BD shoudl be fine (this is assuming single-turbo)

Nope My '90 wagon had a sedan exhaust on it (when i brought it Autobends/Rage did not have a manual wagon kit as they were at the time pretty much non existent in NZ)

fitted perfectly also my belief that the WRX one will fit the GT u have as long as the Manual and auto ones are the same

Did u figure out if the Headgaskets were blown

I just saw this thread and was going to tell you what you've already found out.

Bugger.
