I hate to rain on the parade but look at the motor mount configuration. Any '07 and under won't fit this manifold, as far as I can tell, because it's cat is where our crossmembers are. The 2010 legacy front subframe is way bigger and completely different according to the CAD picture above, so I forsee major work ahead for someone trying to swap this into an older car.

I'd love to be wrong though

iirc... the older sub frame reinforcement was only for US cars, crash safety and whatnot... but really... if your being serious about it just do no CAT and side port exhaust

to bad it would be on drivers side

It doesn't even look like you could get your hand in there to get it loose. Plus all the oil that would invariably get dripped all over the headers and the snail. It's like my sister in-laws toyota with the oil filter on top of the engine.
