2G AWD and FWD exhaust differences

[Kryndon]

@gofer Hey, sorry for necro-ing this thread but I'm trying to find out if it's at all possible to put a 2G AWD stock downpipe (from O2 housing to cat) on a 2G FWD DSM. I came across this thread but the pictures you linked are not showing anymore. Do you think you can reupload them at all? Thanks in advance!

It's alright, that's what the forum's for! I don't have the photos any longer and they got lost when the site moved servers so I have no idea how to get them back. That being said, the 2g AWD downpipe is different than the 2g FWD downpipe. That being said, it will still fit but the exhaust hangers are in different locations and it won't mate up with your catback exhaust, which is completely different on a 2g FWD as well.

Here you can see the routing of the exhaust from when my car was FWD to when I converted it to AWD.
