The US models included the Legacy Sport Sedan, from 1991-1994 and Legacy Touring Wagon from 1992-1994. Passenger airbags weren't available until the 2nd generation arrived in 1995. Driver's side airbags were an option midway through the 1992 model year and became standard in 1993. The US-spec included the passive restraints (motorized seat belts) through the 1994 model year with exception to the right hand drive Postal model which was only available with conventional seat belts. The first Legacy was available at Japanese dealerships on February 1, 1989, with worldwide distribution starting in 1990. It was formally released Januin Japan, with an introductory price of ¥2,550,000 for the turbocharged RS (approx. Options included 4-channel ABS, licensed from Bosch and air suspension height control, which lowered the vehicle at speeds above 50 mph (80.5 km/h), and also allowed the driver to increase the vehicle's ground clearance for off-road conditions. The Legacy began with a 5-door wagon or 4-door sedan body styles with FWD and an optional full-time AWD package, and was introduced in North America, the UK, Germany, the Benelux region of Northern Europe, Japan and Australia (where it was called Liberty because the name Legacy conflicted with Legacy Australia). The Legacy also introduced an entirely new flat-4 engine series, called the EJ engine, which was quieter and more powerful than the previous EA engine. It was an all-new model, and positioned above the Leone, XT, Justy, and kei cars Rex and Sambar in Subaru's model range at the time. The Legacy was introduced in 1989 to provide Subaru a vehicle to compete in the lucrative North American mid-size market against the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Mazda 626, and Nissan Stanza.

I wouldn't worry about aftermarket CAIs for this car, the stock intake is plenty fine unless you want a different sound. The header already is a supporting mod and the filter didn't set me back anything really in the end. Save for a year, then getting a JR supercharger with oil cooler. Personally: OFT + Header (catless), drop in filter for power for now. With other cars I've owned always start with your tuning, then see what you're left with to buy parts.

A lot are going with the OFT (OpenFlash Tablet), though some choose the ECUTek tunes - more costly though (IMO better for the serious builds that need the extra features in RaceROM). Don't forget though you need to decide how you're going to tune the ECU for any mods you make. If you want power NA, flex fuel kit with full exhaust(incl. This method has worked for me lol too bad it got me purchasing a turbo. Ask yourself what you want out of the car first, do you track, just do some sprints around town, then work on that.
