Wouldn't you have to do something to the exhaust though? Remember, the exhaust on the AWD is different then the one on base 2WD or the GT.Inder

I think greenfire found out the exhaust manifold is different on the AWD, just sounds like way too much else would be required to make it worth it, better to trade what you have in and buy a new or used AWD, at least that way you could still get some warranty on it.

Or you could just get a used Subaru WRX for the same money as the conversion and have waaaay more fun!

There's also no mention of how old this thing is. Even if you were to buy it for replacement parts there's no guarantee that everything will fit. There might have been slight changes over the years.
