I know this because the aftermarket shorty DP I run won't fit on a MY06/07 without a PreMY06 midpipe. They made the DP shorter or longer basically and vice versa with the midpipe. His UP will be catless though, so if it fits, that would be an upgrade. It's got some sort of smog pump thingy on it though so do the research. Buy new OEM gaskets at the dealer or online, but remember, aftermarket parts will always be way cheaper. Might as well upgrade the UP, DP, even the turbo if you end up having to pay for them. I have the EGT probe and stock UP and DP but really wasn't planning on selling them, but let me know if it comes down to it and you need something fast. We could work something out.

He does have the mid pipe also, He has replaced headers, UP, DP, Mid and CBE on his so I think I will be ok. That is one of the main reasons that I wanted his UP because it is catless and hopefully it would make this problem not ever return. The only thing about upgrading the turbo is HAVING to buy engine management to run it along with most likely other fuel related parts to make it run right and I'm trying to be kind of frugal. I have to send my $500 (due to some asshole stealing my identity and me having to pay for it) car payment off today so after sending that I have roughly $1000 sitting in the safe for a rainy day like this to buy parts if Subaru decides to not help me. Although I have spent $450 at Lithia of it to try with this warranty thing. At least they are giving it a try. And thank god for getting paid weekly! I really appreciate the support from all you guys. I'm crossing my fingers also, I'll keep you posted.
