Put an Aisin kit on it. Don't go with anything other than OEM or Aisin. Aisin makes the OEM kits for subies.

Best Timing belt kit for Subaru Outback
Just did my timing belt on my EJ22 (98 Outback Sport) two weeks ago. Gates kit ran me $200. I wouldn't recommend anything aftermarket under Gates.
Pros: reliable quality
Cons: inferior aftermarket alternatives

Labor isn't bad but where the hell did they get the pricing for the timing kit? OEM is like $300-400.
Pros: reasonable labor
Cons: overpriced kit

I had my 98 Legacy Outback done 2 years ago and the timing belt kit/water pump was around $300. I think they’re charging you too much for that.
Cons: overpriced kit

your timing belt kit is 3x as much as it should be could be the shops doing or they’re selecting the OEM Subaru parts which are just rebranded Japanese parts. Look up Aisin TKF and then find the correct number for your make model year. I got one for my 2005 sohc Outback and it was $270ish from rockauto the exact same Japanese parts you would find from Subaru Dealership.
Cons: overpriced kit
