Default Will DC2 exhaust work on DB8?

...with some minimal custom exhaust work? Mainly, will the B-pipe line up and slot in correctly?

Anyone done this before?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that the mid pipe is too short to meet the rear section. You might be able to make a pipe section to go between...? I'm not sure though.

This is correct. The axle back section of piping that attatches to the muffler is longer on the sedan. You would need to ask a muffler shop if they could make it work if your looking to go that route.

You can make almost any exhaust work on any car if you're willing to spend the dough to modify it to fit.

i believe you can still use it, the only problem is that you won't be able to see your exhaust haha

The difference between the DC and DB exhaust is found at the muffler. The DB tail pipe section is 4 inches longer. All you need to do is extend the tip of the muffler, otherwise it will sit tucked behind the rear bumper.

Thanks dude, I've confirmed this separately and this is exactly what I'll have muffler shop do.

Thanks fellas!
