i just found out recently that yes they do, all E30's with a 325 engine will share the same exhaust, where you may find some slight differences is in the brackets like i did but this was easily over come.

I think the bracket difference came about due to auto/manual difference but the exhaust system itself will be the same on every 325 unless custom

Depends if its a 2 piece or 3 piece system

The manifold for the 2 piece is different to the 3 piece - body type doesnt matter - saloon, touring or convertibe all use the same bits but you cant fit a 3 piece system to a manifold that had a 2 piece attached from the factory and vice versa
