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.

but will it fit a Sport (they want it for looks etc - after all they've got a Sport so power etc is not top priority)

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)

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

My sti 7 backbox now resides on a MY99 sport one hanger does not line up, but does not cause a problem
But it can be re-welded easily in the coprrect place.
