awd exhaust question

[twisted_gears]

What's the difference between a 1st Gen awd exhaust an 2nd Gen. I have a. 90 tsi with no exhaust I'm wondering if a cat back fro a second Gen woud wk

If im not mistaken, 1g's exhaust runs out the right side of the bumper, 2g's on the left. I dont see any way it would fit.

yes, 1g exhaust runs out the passenger side, where as a 2g awd exhaust runs out the driver side. I don't believe it will bolt up since they run differently.

Correct, exhaust on the 1st generation GSX exited out of the right side of the vehicle. 2nd generation GSX's exhaust exit the left side of the vehicle. It will not work, sorry.

I have seen a couple 1g cars with the exhaust exiting on the left side like the 2g cars. Just look at the teal car in this picture. I don't know if they were using any parts of an actual exhaust made for a 2g though.

Yeah, chances are it was fabbed somehow. You can make anything work, if you have either the right skills, resources, or enough money.

I was just hoping cause I can get a second Gen one free while I save to get my apexi n1

could be wrong but, I thought that the exhaust coming out the left side on a 1g was for nt cars. turbo cars were on the right and nt on the left or was that all 1g were right and 2g were left. I forget as it has been a while since i kept up with the 2. I never really liked the 2g body style myself though. Have owned 4 1g and all turbo and 3 awd. never cared to own a 2g. No offense to the 2g owners.

I have a nt for dd and the exhaust exits on the passenger side.

my bad. I guess i remembered wrong then. I know they did change with the 2g but wasnt sure if they did from nt to t. thanks for clearing that up for me. guess any 1g with the exit on the drivers side is a custom job.

no problem. i guess that was a custom job. im not sure i would put the time or money into that due to it wont help performance wise, but i guess the teal guy likes it..hey, whatever floats your boat..
