im not sure, im selling a TSL group N box and a guy asked me a question on ebay as to if it would fit a forester.....i just said that it would connect but the hangers would be an issue....which seems to be the case from your answer

It connects ok , but the tailpipe is generally too short . Hot gases + plastic bumper isn't a good combination.

Not sure on this, but aren't the hangers different also ? I think it is their position on the box that is different to the Impreza.

The 3 hangers are approx 1.5 " higer ( making the box sit lower ) than a Impreza and the tail pipe is approx 4" longer.
