Basically I've got a AfterburnerVortex back box for sale, it came off my classic. A chap with an 05 plate wrx has asked if it'll fit his car. I think its just the rear hanger that needs moving or removing, is that correct ??

Ta.

 

Not really sure if this helps but.....

Bought a prodrive cat back system that came off a blob from fb tuning. Fitted straight on to my dads v4 classic with no issues.

 

So do most the systems that come off new age stuff fit the classics?

 

I was told (and caught out) by a tuner that his center and rear section off his competition blob would fit straight onto my classic wrx, after piking up and inspecting the following weekend (i trusted this guy, stupidly being young and a bit green) i noticed that part of the rear section had been cut, and a piece of about 8" added and welded to it.
So in my experience with it, id say that it will require cutting and shortening, or possibly the required amount cut off and a new flange welding on.

I thought the downpipe and center section were different lenghts to a classic but the rear box was the same, just the rear hanger was the other way round..............???

 

It's just the hanger that needs either rotating or removing

 

In my case i think the hanger was on the correct side, just tipe before the backbox had to be lengthened. The car is in hibernation at the moment, so i cant tell you exact lengths atm im sorry. If you need to know exactly i can measure it up tomro for you.

 

I put a Afterburner Vortex from a Classic onto my 05 STI a few years ago, fitted no problem with just as mentioned rear hanger not connected. Never had one problem with it for three years.

 

Good to know, thanks.

 

Thanks lads.
