Interesting Eagerex! I’ll have to look a bit closer the next time I see one. There used to be one living several houses down from my MIL’s but I don’t think they’ve still got it.
And correct, EJ25 is the 2.5 litre. A “sports exhaust” is bit of a vague term. You can go for a cat back exhaust that’s mildly larger in diameter which could (but doesn’t always) allow better flow with less restrictions. It will still make the same noises just a bit louder.
If you want that Subaru burble you need to swap the front exhaust manifold piece, commonly known as the Y pipe for an unequal length (UEL) set. This will rob a bit of power that you won’t notice but the smiles it gives is well worth it.
Do both at the same time and you’ll really know the difference! I don’t know if there’s a kit out there for the Exiga though, so you might have to mix and match. The UEL Y pipes from any NA will fit the engine, the rest of the exhaust meeting the back of the UELs could be a guessing game without looking. Having the whole thing gabbed up at an exhaust shop will be expensive - and I’d want to go to one that knows what they’re doing with Subarus!
