'97 left pre-CAT pipe
 

Strange request but, does anyone have a left pre-CAT exhaust component
for a '97 sitting in their garage or parts car? Yes, it's a different part number from the rest of the years.

I took mine to a muffler shop and he redid from motor back to cat for $200 . On both sides. Said it was a B I T C h . But doable. SUBARU wanted $400 for just the pipes.

I also have a 97 and needed both left and right pre cat, after manifold. I took old pipes off, shields off, and took them to a custom shop and he re-used the front flanges, bent and then welded new pipe, and put new rear flanges on. Think it was like 300 bucks for total. Subaru price was WAY too high, and there is absolutely NO BOLT ON aftermarket solution.
If I remember subaru didn't even offer new on the one side……..that was 2 years ago. Yep 97 is one off...

Same here. Just made 2" headpipes with new flanges that went into 2" inlet resonators (and later 2" inlet pre-cats) welded in bungs for the O2 sensors and good to go

Thanks guys. Custom fab is the likely way to go. Thought I'd take a shot that someone had spare parts.
