Have a look over here:
www.uklegacy.com
probably more info to be had there.
I don't think Impreza pipes fit because of the Twin Turbo downpipes, and different length car.
Your Tailpipe looks a bit long, you may have a backbox off a GT estate fitted there.

Personally I would insure it for what it actually is and not a GL.

As Querty says the ukLegacy site is great for info, always a few being broken up, so you may well be able to get a loom if you give a shout in wanted section.
Hope you have lots of fun with it!

I've got a Powerflow SS decat exhaust on mine, nice burble, H&S do them too, there are a few owners in Scotland, so ask if there are any recommended 'zorst shops near you.

+1 for the above, cheap insurance not really - its fraud
It sounds like a quite tidy motor , and i had the same problem when i owned a legacy gtb,but imagine some **** runs into the side of you and its not your fault.When the accessor comes out and lifts the bonnet and sees 2 turbos under the bonnet,they wont pay out s**t,its not the car that you have insured.Bite the bullet like the rest of us and insure it for what it is,then no comebacks imho.
