I have a 93 N/A. I found an exhaust on craigslist, name brand is 5zigen, guy had it on a 2+2 model, mine isnt a 2+2, he said it wont fit my car, something about the bends? Do you guys know anything about this? Maybe something to do with the exhaust brackets?

Don't count on my own opinion, but I think the only difference should be that the pipes from the catbacks to the mufflers are longer on a 2+2. I think that's the only difference. The manifolds, pre-cats, cats, mufflers should all be the same. I have been looking into getting exhaust as well, which is how I have learned this, but since I have not done anything to the exhaust, I do not know for sure. Look into that some more, and I am sure someone else will know 100%.

He's right it wont fit without modification that you'll have to get done by an exhaust shop if even then.

Check my sig. The 2+2 is about 3 inches longer of a car, so naturally, there's no way the exhaust would be the same length. Also, the 2+2 exhaust has to route around the gas tank. The 2+0 tank sits a lot higher, so it doesn't get in the way.

Cliffnotes: Bends are entirely different, as are all of the mounting points.

thanks for the pics, well I got the exhaust, 100 bucks what a steal. :werd: I dont mind doing some cutting and welding, so well see how it goes. Plus im not one to take any of my cars to "The Shop" to have some parts changer tech work on my shet. Nor am I one to say "impossible" or "cant" to anything that comes in my way. :nono: you just gotta do it and be done with it. also the exhaust was on a 2+2, so it shouldnt be as bad to make this fit on a 2seater vs putting a 2 seater exhaust on a 2+2. Thanks for the input fellas, ill post the pics of what i had to do to make this fit
