hey my name is matt. i live in queens, nyc and have a 98 subaru legacy gt. im lookin in to doin headers and all the way bak. wanted to know if there is a great package for a good price. i also need to know if anyone has done a manual swap to a 98 subaru legacy. if so wat parts u need and how much it cost and if there is any problems that u hvae noticed. the last is suspension. im lookin for a lower stance givin the car a more agresive look but given me the handing that ever subaru should have.

i have already a weapon r intake, hids ih headlights and fogs aswell.
any help would be greatful. thx matt

 

First of all, you should probably ditch the weapon R intake and put all the factory stuff back in. While it may make your car sound "cooler", 9 times out of 10 it's hurting your performance. I'd just get a K&N drop in panel filter and call it a day. Maybe remove the snorkel inside the fender well if it's present. There are a lot more Legacy folks over at Nasioc, and I'm sure they'd be more than willing to provide some additional information.

Cobb makes a good package but its expensive, around 1k if not more for the full exhaust setup. Borla makes a cheap alternative for the legacy and I think it would cost around 600-700 bucks for a full exhaust.

A tranny swap would run you around 3-4k, plus installing it, unless you can find someone who will sell it to you cheap. I am not to knowledgeable about what it would take.

In the suspension department, I would look into getting new sway bars and new springs and thats about it.

Just so that you know, you can put in a wrx engine into your car for around 7-8k. Might be a cheaper way in getting better power, or another alternative for you to consider.

 

thx for ur help guys. do u think that i could fit the wrx engine and tranny into my car. also wat is the other place that u said there is alot of legacy owners. i appreacte it. thx matt
