classic has a longer center section than a new age, the reason for this is that the down pipe is shorter than new age models.

I had a classic turbo back fitted to my WT Blob and it was fine so I would assume the reverse would work - they key was the downpipe. The hanger was a bit of a pain to sort but manageable.

If your going to use a classic catback then you need to use a classic downpipe too as stated above there is about a 10cm difference in length and if you can force it to fit it wont sit or look right.
