ron2368 Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I have a 92 fwd legacy with the original exhaust system , I cant believe its lasted so long. Last year at inspection my guy replaced a gasket but thats all its ever had done. Now I notice about one square inch of rust bubbling on the muffler and its up for inspection in 2 months.It is not a hole , nor is it leaking but I dont know if they will fail it for the rust or if the rust will be a hole very soon. I would be appreciative if anyone has recommendations on which way to go if I do the muffler myself. Subaru or a local parts store? thank you.

Gnuman Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Or you could try removing the rust first, and protecting the area with rust inhibiting (high temp) paint to make the stock muffler last a bit longer (like until after the inspection) so you have a bit more time to select a good one. . .

DerFahrer Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I can personally attest that getting an exhaust off, say a BD/BG Legacy (95-99), might be worthwhile. Just stick with the right body style, sedan or wagon. I have a 98 Legacy GT exhaust (midpipe and muffler) that I bolted up to my 91 Legacy sedan with no modifications whatsoever.

ron2368 Posted November 21, 2004 Author Share Posted November 21, 2004 I was going to doctor the rust spot and ask my guy if that would be ok. How can I tell what exhausts from later years would work on my car? Is it thru the body type or engine? I have no clue. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
