Exhaust Question

[graham_nairn]

Car is due for an MOT soon and at the moment it is without a cat.

I have been able to aquire a centre section with a cat in it from a STI8.

Does anybody know if I will have any problems fitting this to my '99 classic?

it looks as though everything will line up, the flanges at either end seem to be the same.

Any advice before I start dismantling it.

Cheers Graham.

hi there,

if your car is a classic, you would need a catted downpipe or catted centre section from a classic. as the exhaust design between the classic and newage are different.

either that or you find a friendly mot station

hope this helps, im sure others will reply in due course.

Wasnt sure. Knew some parts of the exhaust were different but the centre section looks the same.

hi there,

if you wish to check, if you go to www.scoobyworld.co.uk on their web site it shows diagrams of the classic and newage systems.

i know the back box can be fiited in a kind of sort of fashion - one hanger is the wrongway round.. the classic has the cat in the downpipe and the newage has 2/3 of them

If you ask nicely I'm sure someone could lend you a 99 cat to get you through the mot. I've got one if you can't find one local.

Thanks guys

I had a Cat in the downpipe and in the centre section.

I still have the downpipe section but its a bit trickier to fit back on.

The centre section is just two 17mm bolts at either end.

I'll have a look at those diagrams.
