I take it you have a Forester S Turbo and on a W plate will be a MY99 or MY00, so classic exhaust and ignition leads.

Classic impreza exhaust down pipe and centre pipe will fit, the backbox is slightly different to suit the Forester bumper etc.

Pay a visit to http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f75/ , always willing to help with what fits and what doesn't etc.

That is the OEM exhaust for a UK or JDM MY99/00 Forester S Turbo/STB

If its a "3 piece" then the Impreza GC8 pipe should fit................
