2G downpipe and CM 3" Cat back compatability?

[BlitzVR4]

I just bought a Apexi N1 downpipe for a 2G to put on my GVR4, because the 1G N1 downpipe butts right next to my DSS driveshaft. With the stock driveshaft I had no problem. Guess with the new diameter of the driveshaft there is no room.

My question is will a CM 3" cat back bolt up to the 2G downpipe? I tried using my Apexi N1 1G cat back and the flanges do not match. I know I can probably have a muffler shop cut the flange off and reweld it, but it is time to retire my 1G exhaust. It just does not fit and has a hole in the canister and just old.

Thanks.

Maybe /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif you know something I don't but the 2G DP I tried to put on my Galant wouldn't work. It points towards the driver side rear because that's the side the 2gs exhaust exits where as Galants and 1gs exit the passenger side.

Might be something to ask Garfield, Jonas.

TSimage, the Megan Racing 2g awd downpipes have been known to fit our cars, it might depend on what what brand you are using causing that offset.

As far as I know, the 2g AWD will work fine, but FWD etc will not.

I asked Garfield first. His suggestion is to order the exhaust with the flange not welded on and have an exhaust shop finish the welding. If I only new how to weld. Anyways I think I will just order the exhaust with the flange not welded on.

I am using the 2g awd downpipe I got it off ebay been on 96 for almost a year and it fits good

I have the 2G downpipe on now and it fits great. My question is will Galant specific exhaust from Certified Muffler bolt up to the 2G downpipe?

Try to do a mock up of how it would sit/line up if it was bolted to the downpipe, is the best I can suggest. I know the Muffler shop off of Holland Rd, does good work when it comes time for welding.
