Ok I just picked up a 98 legacy outback with a 02 wrx engine trans diff ect. It has a scoobysport up and down pipe and test pipe with a 06 wrx muffler. It has been flashed with what was said to be a off the self stage 2 map. what would be the next step for more power and what would it be around now?

upgrade your turbo.

First thing is first. Take it to a shop that knows Subaru's and have them take a look at it. Alot of swaps are done half assed, there may be underlying issues with the car that are gonna pop up when you go to modify it. NOT fun.

06 wrx muffler? Thats holding you back a bit, but I dont know what it takes to put an wrx exhaust on a legacy. I have a feeling it was probably modified to get it to fit.

I Got it out of nj the guy I bought it off of did the swap along with some friends he said the the harness was done buy a guy called Zephyr. How much will it cost to have it gone over and what am I looking at price wise for tuning because it was just a flash on the stock ecu.
