Only difference externally between this and the 5.7 vxr's are the addition of bonnet vents, twin exit exhausts at the back and the wheels.

Same shape!

I presume you mean the cv8's, but the 5.7 vxr has the same body kit excepting the bonnet vents.

edit: oh the and fuel cap is in a different place due to the relocation of the fuel tank..

I saw a few of these in the PH classifieds, and in Hornchurch today (the sound!). Am very curious myself. I don’t know if the one I saw was sporting an aftermarket exhaust, but the sound was immense. I guess would be very different from the 4WD Impreza I currently have…

Thoughts?

If it sounded that good, then it will be aftermacket
as the standard exhausts dont sound that great IMHO smile
