It should, im not 100% on that, but the bends are the same, if anything, you will have to get it shortened at a muffler shop, no biggy.

I have the exhaust from a ej8 coupe on my Ej6 Sedan. Also, the sideskirts fit both as well. I love how things are interchangable

It won't fit. It's too long.

They cut off a specific lenght of your piping and attach the muffler back on... | | &lt;--- that much off for example and weld your muffler on to it

they will take a small section out of the striaght area just after your header/cat, and re-weld it, so the exhaust lines up correctly. as i mentioned before, all the bends are the same for the most part, its not too complicated. Can be done for $50 or less at your local muffler shop.
