how hard is it to fit a classic one piece system onto a newage?
hi all
just wondering what it would involve to get my one peice cat back titanium exhaust system onto the bugeye ive just bought.
is it just the brackets/exhaust rubbers in a diffo place?
or would i need a complete new exhaust?
cheers

no joints on the system , just one piece with the open neck part (i think thats what its called, its basically open with 2 holes for 2 bolts to join onto downpipe) at 3" to join onto the downpipe or standard cat pipe

lol ok so that means i will have to get a classic downpipe, np 
next question apart from the extra length, would i need a ramap after the cat back exhaust is fitted?
its got a cat back on but i'm not sure what size pipe work it is, havnt checked,
howeevr this titanium system is 3.5" pipework and goes to 3" where it attached to the downpipe and 4.5" jap angled backbox.
would it be fine on OEM map?
cheers

just sized them up today, seems perfect fit bar the centre hanger.. but thats not a problem due to titanium being light!
however! your right its 10cms too long lol and i dont know of a way of fitting it without it looking silly.
and i'll need a remap if i do the down pipe, might just see if i can get a nur spec back box

if i get an open neck classic downpipe and bolt the exhaust on, can i drive the car off boost for a day till its mapped? or not?
as i think the newage has more cats than a classic plus with it being on standard map it might not be good

i just had an idea on how to get the classic titanium system to fit..
ive seen a v3 sti thats breaking, if i take the standard downpipe off it..and replace that cat with mine
would it be ok with the cat back system? or would it still need a remap? as the newages are more restrictive?
dont want to do a remap just yet
cheers

At worst it may try to boost spike, then the ecu will cut-in and stop your fun....
Driven fairly sensibly you will just feel it spool quicker and feel more responsive.

i wont come accross any other problems will i? lol as im fitting it the day before mapping.. does the standard cat to centre section have a gasket i can reuse?
i hope i wont need new gaskets..

ok thought i'd add to this as i'm soooo tired and pissed off lol
im currently fitting the classic downpipe for this exhaust and got 2 problems.
1) lambda sensor is in a different place on newage (centre rather than at the top near the turbo) so i dont think i'll make it reach the connection
2) the downpipe mounting bracking is too big and needs chopping and re-welding to the correct size!
currently doing that now!
will update if i can get the dam exhaust on sucessfully.. what a long day
p.s. i think my heat wrap will have to come off when making a new bracket
