The backbox from an STi is VERY restrictive, as the diameter from the feed pipe is only 50 mm instead of the 60 mm for the rest of the exhaust.

We don´t know a sport in Holland, I assume that´s a non-turbo Impreza.

I'll say it again - will the STI 8 exhaust fit a MY01/02/03 Sport (ie non turbo 2.0)

Thumbs down

Not without modification i don't think Paul...

Us sport owners have limited choice inc. mainly Hayward & Scott manufactured & Magnex etc....

I can highly recommend H&S as an alternative though...

Paul

Paul thanks for the reply.

Never mind. Is the Sport exhaust a smaller diameter to a turbo or is there an different reason?
