Default exhaust question.

will the d16y8 exhaust fit a d16y7 exhaust?

reason: swapping aftermarket exhaust to stock

If it's a coupe, then yes. The Y7 has a J-pipe coming down from the catalytic to meet up with the exhaust, where-as the Y8 has a normal "header" and a catalytic on the end of that. Either way, the end up at the same place.

:sigh:

The D16Y7 cars have a manifold with a cat built in. Then you have a downpipe that goes under the engine and meets up with a B-pipe. This begining of the B-Pipe is a two bolt flange.

The D16Y8 cars have a regular manifold and downpipe that clear the engine. Then bolt to a cat. The end of the cat has a three bolt flange where it bolts to the B-pipe along with being shorter then that found on a Y7 equipped car.

****** hell, I forgot about the 3-bolt. I'm off my **** today. It's been too long since I've been under a coupe and a hatch, I'm beginning to blend the two together ...

EDIT:

Yeah, I was wrong. My brain is just ******* retarded right now (lack of sleep, cold medication, and the fact that I haven't had the time/energy to get under my car or my girlfriend's car in the last 4 months)

Top is y7, bottom is y8 ...

No, the Y8 is shorter then the Y7 along with different flange bolt patterns.

Siting your proof with an aftermarket exhaust doesn't hold much weight. What he said about the stock exhaust is true.

Do you have an aftermarket header and cat on your car? Are you talking about just the axle back portion or the B-Pipe as well? The Mufflers are interchangeable. Otherwise you must be talking about something else.

The picture posted by Eran shows the truth. Top B-Pipe is a Y7 and bottom B-Pipe is a Y8.
