Just an idea, check and see if the bolts/nuts on the d/p have come loose.

If I recall mine was about £12.00 from Subaru. Check the bolts first.

You didn't mention whether your downpipe has been changed for an aftermarket one? If so & the original gasket was used then it's possible to get blowing. Lets hope one was put on

Good luck
