Yes they will provided they are the same diameter ,only difference is the middle hangar wont fit ,but it is the rear hangars that take all the weight so no probs whatsoever.

Yes they will but also remember like for like model, turbo/STI are swapable, but na modelas like the 2.0l sport etc don't transfer other than to same/similar models as the flange is welded on at a different angle.

If memory serves correctly, the hanger on the later model box can be extended to align for the classic, but it doesn't work the other way around. I seem to remember doing something like this on my first classic.
