Another Downpipe Compatibility Question

[habitatguy187]

Alright people have said this can't work but it looks very close to me, I just need someone with experience to verify. The first picture is a downpipe for a 1g FWD, and the second picture is a downpipe from a 2g FWD. The 2g is a lot cheaper than the 1g so this is why I'm asking if it could work.

I'd rather own the 1st one, more expensive or not. Only 1" of it is 2.5" and the rest is 3". The 2nd one doesn't size up till after the flex pipe.

I wouldn't even bother with getting a piece that was made for another year dsm, get the one for yours since it'll be a direct proper fit and as stated above, looks bigger anyways than the downpipe to the right.

^^^ I agree. I remember when I picked up the Megan Racing downpipe for my 2G when they first came out. They were off by maybe a couple mm for the AWD model (they HAVE had that fixed for years now, so don't worry), and that was a pain get to fit with the air hammer. So yeah I'd suggest that even if they look close, that's not enough for our game - get what's been built specifically for your model

P.S. - Think, even if you manuever it to fit the O2 housing, if it's just one inch too long or short, it's not going to hook up to the cat-back part, or vice versa

Yeah I know, I'm planning on putting a muffler on the end of my downpipe and dumping under the car.
