Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

Not hard. It does help that you have the right tools though. PB blaster is your friend.

You see... the nice thing about the boxer is that the headers is immediately under the block. You can get some ramps, roll your car onto them. The one thing I am wondering about is if you need to drop the whole front half of the exhaust or not. There may be a part where it may be a little hard to get to one of the bolts. It is essentially 6 bolts or something. Maybe someone can elaborate or something.
