damn, looks nice! my friend's got a white 2.5rs, not near as sweet as that.

Here are a few pics of the exhaust so you guys have an idea of what it looks like. These are about a year old. Before tint and wheels (obviously.)

Great looking Impreza! I was wondering, where did you get your exhaust? Or, the muffler, to be more specific. Thats almost exactly what I want on mine.

 

[Ma70.Ent]

Love the look! I thought you turbocharged the 2.5 RS' original engine, but then I realized you just went with the WRX engine route

 

[Imprezademics]

The muffler came with the turbo back system. Its basically a 3 piece exhaust (DP, mid-pipe, and the axleback which is the muffler section.) I dont think they make one for a Supra. Either way, its made by Stromung and i bought it from some Subaru performance website called Boxer4Racing.

Cool, thanks!

Turbocharging the 2.5RS n/a engine without beefing up the internals would restrict me to about 6 psi and approximately 265hp to the crank max. With the swap im starting with a stock motor with 227hp with plenty of room for more hp.

 

[Imprezademics]

Cool, thanks!

You could always buy the axleback from someone used and have it custom fitted to your supra. Nothing a little cutting and welding couldnt take care of.

Thats not a half bad idea, actually.

I don't really know much about Subaru engines in general, so I didn't know this

Looks good, I've always been a fan of that style Impreza.

 

[AF1JZ]

That's a very clean Impreza you have there. I like it a lot.

 

[rtrdpenguin]

Awesome! I LOVE the 2.5 RSes. I'd take one with an engine swap over a newer WRX/STI any day.

Thanks guys!

How much are those body styles running these days? I was looking into one for a fun dd.

 

[Imprezademics]

IF its in as good a shape as mine... probably around $8-9k. Im sure you can find some in the 6k range. Or you can get an older model, the Impreza L... they go for about 3k or so. All AWD. I had a guy offer me $14k for mine. I said no thanks of course.

 

[SupraOfDoom]

Looks nice. I'm assuming its AWD? How hard is the WRX motor swap? I want a killer winter car next winter since WI got 81" of snow this year and rising.
