As the title says, niterida is selling one just not sure if it will fit, wondered if anyone knew, tried google but haven't found info yet.

Of course it will

I believe you might have to get the tip extended because the rear bumper on a foz is slightly longer

Yep. Can confirm it will fit as long as the GC is from a GC8 and the Foz is a GT turbo

You want me to fit for you? I might be able to fit you in.

the WRX exhaust is 10cm shorter than the Forester.

you will also need to modify the rear hangers

Are you sure - the Liberty Wagon exhaust is only 7.5cm longer so I doubt the Forester is 10cm, especially when the Forester is just an Impreza underneath..................

im putting my chips on the table.

the rear or tips need to be lengthened by 100mm and rear hangers modified (or running longer exhaust rubbers)

I got a forester exhaust to fit on my vortex

( the muffler needs to be moved but it fits

)

The ozfoz link is only good if you are a member

I have heard that the forester exhaust is a little different to the impreza even though they share the same floor pan.

my bad. here is a section quoted

[quote="OzFoz.com"]Will a WRX/STI exhaust bolt onto my turbo Forester?

The dump and centre pipes will generally fit fine. Sometimes you may need to fit a new 02 sensor bung and plug the old one depending upon your year model (turbo WRXs and Foresters up to MY00 have the 02 sensor near the turbo]

Did it fit?

Yep, had to get some 5" chrome tip extensions and they sit about 3mm from the bottom of the bumper.
