This has never been asked before. You're the first.

never ever

 

You need the whole Tii drivetrain, and some other stuff as well. I've even seen here that most people with the vert Tii's are not being able to use the downpipes.

 

You have to trim the cross brace on the 'verts for the 2.5 and 3" downpipes. This can be done with a torch or angle grinder with minimal effort. The stock precat/jspec downpipe fits the crossbar with no interference...the larger diameter of aftermarket pipes presents the clearance issue.

 

thx for ur info guys...helped a lot....

 

My RB REV TII exhaust with 3 inch DP fit in my T2 swapped S5v vert with no issues...


However, if you decide to upgrade the turbo and get a turbo kit you may run into some manifold wastegate placement fitment issues with the bracing.
