It will bolt on to the turbo, however no to the main cat. As the RB DP is shorter than the part you will be replacing, nothing that a custom spacer can solve though

Everysingle gasket for the turbo models are expensive. Thats what it takes though, sure as hell not going to make your own.

Second that, the turbo mounts directly to the downpipe. It rusts pretty easily though, so I hope you're not in a wet area.

I didn't know those gaskets were so expensive....I might try re-using mine and see how it goes.

The turbo>downpipe gaskets can usually be reused, but if you really need the car to be running you're always better off safe than sorry. You do realize that the RB 3" downpipe will NOT bolt up to the stock cat...it will only bolt up to the RB 3" presilencer.

yeah im not worried about that...im having a full custom exhaust made...i just need the downpipe so the guy has somewhere to start from. it would have taken him too long to make the DP so i just got the RB one and he can do the rest one day while im at work and i can pick it up after.
