2.5 Rs and the legacy GT had a DOHC in the late 90's 98-99 and then by 00 they were SOHC and now a days basically any non turbo non 6 subaru has a 2.5 with 176 HP.
That's probably not 100% right, but it is close. I have an SOHC EJ25 in my RX, it goes like stink

The earlier ones (EJ25) from 95 to about 99 in the legacys came from the factory with stinky, no good head gaskets that blew after less then 100k in some instances, but with a new gasket, the engines are great. just something to keep in mind

96+ Legacy 2.5GT, 98+ Impreza 2.5RS, 96 Outback auto tranny, And all 97+ Outbacks. Stay away from the 96 in particular, they require premium fuel and make 10 less hp that the 97+ years.
99+ Impreza RS and 00+Legacy models will have the sohc ej25.
You can sometimes find a dohc ej25 with a bad headgsket for cheap, usually under $500 for the motor. Replace the gaskets with the multi layer updated gaskets from subaru and do all the other refreshening stuff(t-belt, idlers, seals) and call it reliable.
These motors can also be run off the ecu and wiring for any n/a ej22 motor, and it seems that the n/a ej22 ecu produces more top end power than ej25 ecu's. The ej25 ecu's are tuned for more torque down low.

oh yeah... 96 has 155hp 97+ has 165hp. Somewhere around 05/06 they got bumped up to 172hp with the addition of the AVCS system.
