early car exhaust onto late car

[psychochild187]

i have to fit a early exhaust for a saloon onto a late touring . will this be do-able


im gagging to get this done . really need me 6 branch on the car

As long as the touring isn't so late as to have a cat and lambda, then there shouldn't be any serious problems, as long as the manifold flange(s) are the same.

how easy is it to cut the standard exhaust on the late car to make it fit the manifold. thats if this does have a lambda or i have no money

[mrLEE30]

you could easily drill and weld a bolt on the old manifold down pipe and alllow the lambda probe to be screwed in, the cat you do not need, in fact engine technically will run better without a cat convertor (less restrictive exhaust).

but dont know the rules in uk these days on removing the cat on a ''newer'' car.

blocks ahould be the same so manifold fitting should not be too much of a prob, only difference may be some of the mounting brackets.

Nothing to stop you removing the cat from any car, but, in the UK, if it's a post August '92 car, you will have great difficulty getting it to meet the MOT emissions requirements without the cat, unless you also run it on LPG.
