Will an AWD catback bolt up stock FWD exhaust?

[RandyJr]

Since people say an AWD turboback will not fit a FWD on a 1g, will just the catback fit a FWD?

I couldnt tell you for sure but i know there is a difference between the 2. The FWD has 5 hp less than an AWD because it is more restrictive than the exhaust on an AWD. I think the downpipes are basicly the same but I know for sure that on a FWD there is a sharp 90 degree bend(acutally i think theres 2) towards the end which on an AWD is like a 45 degree bend if that. If the hangers are in the same place it might work. Youll just have to confirm it. You need to check the back towards the end of the exhaust. If not, im sure u could make it work if u can weld. Wouldnt take much

If I'm not mistaken one of them goes over the axle and the other goes under the axle.

The FWD wont fit on anything but a FWD. That's why there are two different models for the different cars. The exhaust on a FWD runs all the way down the middle of the car. On an AWD car that is where the drive shafts are.

Right, they still occupy different spaces, so no it wont fit.

The AWD exhaut goes under the pumpkin that doesnt move. On a FWD car the entire rear axle, if you can call it that, does move up and down, so in an attempt to do something half-assed he has now scaped and bent his new setup when he goes over a bump. If you do something right the first time then there is no second time. Again, they are designed differently for a reason. I dont know of a company that will waste money making two different products when they only need one.
