2G AWD and FWD exhaust differences

[Mychel23]

I know this is beyond a stupid question BUT will a AWD exhaust fit on a FWD? If not what is the difference?

 

[eeeewidner]

Yes and no. The center section is the only thing that will and if fits very crappy and has to be modified to fit to the over axle pipe. Not worth the headache and hassle.

 

[Mychel23]

Guess i should of said its a 96' talon

 

[GsXdSmKingGsX]

It can be done.

 

[Mychel23]

Ok i got it. Can be done but not worth it

 

[GsXdSmKingGsX]

Correct

What?

What is an axle pipe?

He's probably talking about the section that goes through the rear driver side wheel well.

FYI. Thats not what its called

Doesn't necessarily have to go OVER the axle, i have my exhaust going under the axle and have never scraped it.

Most GST exhausts go under it as well.

Your'e right. If the car was a 1g it would make more sense to explain it that way. I don't know about fitment for a 2g though. 1g is difficult to interchange exhaust parts.

1g fwd exhaust is literally that. An over axle pipe since it runs above the trailing arms and that area is very narrow for anything larger than 2.75".

I thought GST's went over and GSX's under? I could be wrong.

 

[dsmvenge]

Yes gst goes over.

 

[deviousgst]

not really. my apex n1 goes under on my gst

Its impossible to run the FWD (GS-T/TSi) exhaust on an AWD (GSX/TSi AWD) DSM or vise versa because the hangers are different and the FWD exhaust fills the driveshaft tunnel.

Here's the differences...

FWD Exhaust

AWD Exhaust

+1 good call

Impossible? I suppose swapping the drivetrain on a 2g from FWD to AWD is impossible as well because the subframe bolts arent the correct length... -1

 

[gofer]

Both those pictures are of the same car (MINE) so thanks for your useful insight on the OP's question. Yes, its IMPOSSIBLE to run a FWD DSM exhaust on and AWD DSM (and vise-versa) because of the reasons I stated above.

What does doing an AWD swap have to do with anything thats been posted thus far?

 

[dsmspick]

Cat back it shouldn't matter right? Idk all the different arguments and FWD to AWD swap and exhaust has me confused

 

[rabenne]

Im calling BS right now, I have an AWD apexi N1 exhaust that Im using on my 2g FWD right now!

My point is this. If you can do something like change the entire drivetrain of the vehicle thru modifications, what in the world makes you think you cant run an AWD exhaust on a FWD??? I know you cant put the FWD pipes on an AWD because it would be sharing space with the driveshaft...

That being said, my -1 stands because your post was not entirely accurate. Anybody with a cutoff wheel and a stick welder CAN use an AWD exhaust on a FWD car. If you did the AWD swap than you probably have access to both.

Sorry, but next time use the SEARCH , cause this has been discussed too many times.

Just the first 4 out of like 20

I wish you would take a photo or two of your AWD exhaust on your FWD DSM.

Your entire argument is invalid because you're talking about customizing the exhaust to get it to work. The OP is asking if a FWD exhaust will bolt into place on a AWD or vise versa, the answer is always going to be no.

I'm not familiar with the 1g's but the OP is asking about a '96 so your pictures won't be much help.

Post up pictures of your exhaust.
