Expert Reply:

The Inno Aero Crossbar Roof Rack that you referenced, which consists of # INXB145-2 for the two 57 inch Aero Crossbars, # INXS250 for the Through Feet, and # INK439 for the Fit Kit, is confirmed to fit your 2019 Subaru Legacy as long as it is the Sedan model without any existing rails or bars on the roof.

In order to safely secure 2 kayaks to these crossbars you will need to add a kayak carrier.

For this I recommend the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073. This is a really nice, versatile carrier that can secure 1 or 2 kayaks depending on the position you use it in. It has a total weight capacity of 75 pounds and the padded bases and arms cushion your kayaks to prevent any scuffs or scratches. Tie-down straps and bow/stern anchors are included to secure a single kayak but you can add another set with part # Y04031 to secure the second kayak.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this carrier so you can see exactly how it works.
