Forester s I have a 2.5 it's the ej25 I want to get
something that I can put in there with a little more

No engine swap nor mods will be satisfying and risk- free...especially intake/exhaust stuff. Better that you stiffen the tire/wheel package to improve handling to get an improved feel. 225/55VR17 rubber bolts up nicely and remarkably improves handling. Think about a thicker rear swaybar if available too. DO change your ATF to protect the tranny while you're at it...and avoid synth motor oil.
