Can someone confirm (who has done this)

Wether a Back box from a classic Impreza is a direct swop on a Legacy Saloon?

I think it is but im not sure.
I know the centre section is longer.

cheers

ive put a back box off a 02 sti on my legacy . but you need a small bit of fabricating .The hanging points are differant and the flange needs to be taken off the old exhaust and welded into the sti exhaust this also gives you a bit more lengh as the sti exhaust is about 2 inches shorter. the box was nearly new only cost me £40 and took only an hour to fit.

thanks guys
think a mild steel one would be better than a SS BB if fabrication is required.

Better still, give poor Mr.Wallis a break and phone Heyward and Scott, who did an excellent job of mine, and are friendly and helpful to boot!

The bb i have on my92 leg wagon is from a magnex uk impreza my98.
I didn't mod the hangers, mind you the end is about 5" too short

Still it leaves a nice black mess around the bumper. . .
