My vehicle is non turbo, and i wanted to know if I can install an exhaust system from a wrx, or the layout of the engine is different?
When the first models start getting up around 100,000 miles is when any weaknesses will start to show.
the car is worth over $17,000 easily in my opinion with all the upgrades mentioned. Make sure the car doesn't have a salvage title. I don't know if carfax reports that. Ask if it is okay to let a mechanic check it out. Does it have any warning lights on the dash? If not this sounds like a super deal. Why is the seller selling it? What is the type of vehicle the seller is using now that he or she is selling this car? The miles sound a little low for this vehicle year and model. Most people put a ton of miles on this vehicle. Any vehicle with only 31k that is about 6 years old very rare and highly suspiciously in my opinion. That means the driver only drives about 5k a year. If the carfax shows the mileage being consistent then it's probably true and the driver just didn't drive much. It's just unusually for a driver to spend that many upgrades and not race the hell out of it. What are other sellers selling similar cars for and go from there. If this is way cheaper than all the other sellers prices I would probably avoid the sale.
Installing the exhaust from a WRX will NOT make your car sound like a WRX. Do the smart thing: if you need a new exhaust, install a factory one for your Impreza Sport. Subaru is one damn well-engineered vehicle. If you want a pocket rocket, save your money for an actual WRX or STI.
I would suggest that you simply choose a performance exhaust system designed specifically for your model Subaru Impreza. Magnaflow makes a few different options for the Impreza and you won't have to worry about making any special modifications or do anything that will void your car and/or the exhaust system warranty.
