yes, whilst the 2piece downpipe has differing dimensions between the Bug/Blob and the Hawk the cat-back set-up is basically the same so a straight swap

yes, BUT you can't fit the primary cat off one and the 2nd cat pipe off the other as they are differing lengths / flange positions

Hi yes I understand that part. Just didn't realised that both downpipes are the same size.

the centre pipe and back box are exactly the same dimensions......

the 2pce downpipe whilst the same length overall has different flange locations between Blob/Bug and the 2.5 Hawk

JDM cars are different again
