heres a few questions i have to all the outback owners. next winter i'll be trading in my mustang for a newer reliable winter car and i was looking into a 2002-2003ish outback sedan with the h6. my problem is that its a auto and that seems to make me hesitant. i know the stick came in the 2.5s but i dont like the wagons much and my only fasination with this car is the h6 motor. i am used to bolting on and changing things for my last car but i realize there aren't many things i can find for the outback.

my biggest concern is sound. i hear they're super quiet so i was thinking intake and exhaust. money aside- does anyone know where i can find parts. performance and interior as well

also i'll be very willing to tweek the look with anything interesting i can find, taillights headlights body kits hoods etc etc. as long as its classy and very "not rice" looking i'll consider a purchase.

so are there sites out there for what i'm looking for? perhaps i'm just not looking hard enough.... thanks - adam

dude i would recommend getting a 2.5 and not the h6. mainly because performance parts are almost impossible to find for the h-6. spomotorsports does all subarus. and any 2.5 performance part will work on any 2.5 subaru.

will an 02 outback engine and auto tranny easily fit into a 97 outback?? they are both a 2.5 liter.

Yes, they will fit with some minor work.
