Any thoughts on quality:

Klarius from Euro parts
vs
EuroFlo from eBay

Or any other suggestions?

Are Larini still going? They did a lovely set of pipes for my Elise back in the day.

Have also used BM catalysts (they don't only do catalytic converters) on ebay & they were as good as others I have used "back in the day" when changing exhaust parts was a regular thing.

Running older warmer Subarus you soon find that genuine exhausts are cripplingly expensive and that some aftermarket systems are falsely advertised as correct when in fact they are either underbore and/or lack by-pass trickery in the silencers.

Before going aftermarket consider giving MIJ at Walsall a call, they've custom made and fitted new stainless systems on 2 Subarus for me at around 1/3rd the cost of an OE mild steel system and even cheaper than the aftermarket systems (and that with a 12 month warranty)
Lifetime warranty too at MIJ.
I have no association with the company other than as a satisfied customer.

One thing I have just noticed is that the Euroflo and Klarius both have the same part number!

Also found a supplier on eBay called GT Exhausts which look reasonable.

Unable to decide between GT Exhausts and Klarius, both similar price.

Ended-up buying a GT Exhausts one but that didn't go well; one mounting bar/tube was about 1" too short. They have checked their stock against their jig and apparently they are correct but doesn't fit my car well so that is going back.

Alternative reasonably priced choices seem to be Klarius from Europarts of A2A from GSF.

In the meantime I have glued-up the leak in the old silencer and refitted that. See https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
