AdamB Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) My N/A is at the garage at the moment having a new exhaust fitted, I bought a Glanza exhaust to go on my N/A but the garage is saying it won't fit? Now I didn't think there was any different between N/A and turbo exhaust systems, only different I thought was the backbox hangers between EP82 and EP91.Apparently its at the cat/downpipe section that won't fit? Anyone shed any light on this? ThanksAdam Edited January 23, 2014 by AdamB Quote
Mikeyallgood85 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 The only difference I new about was the back box hangers as you've mentioned as I had to modify my blitz one to fit cause it came off the ep82! What's the reason for it not fitting? Anything I can do to help let me know, Hope you get it sorted bud Quote
AdamB Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 I'm just about to head back down there mate, but I think that the pipe isn't long enough to reach the cat. I thought N/A and turbo cats exited in the same position so bit confused as to why it don't fit. Quote
Socks Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 NA's are have the cat underneathLong center section....With the backbox being separate I believe...Turbos are obv...Downpipe, Center Section in 2 pieces, backbox...Pretty sure it wont fit! Quote
AdamB Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) The system I have is only a 2 piece mate, front all the way to the back then the backbox separate. Since the cat is in the downpipe in both N/A and turbo I thought they exited at the same place? Edited January 23, 2014 by AdamB Quote

On an NA the downpipe/cat is one piece and finishes around the drivers footwell... Quote
Mikeyallgood85 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I've got a ct9 turbo manifold and decat + ecu if you fancy making it a turbo I'd do you a good deal! You'll need the intercooler though. Can't your dad weld on the extra so it will fit? Quote
daniel_g Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I know that Dean@RW can make up a N/a exhaust mani that suits a turbo exhaust.Someone had one on here before, JTstarlet92 or something. Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 The center hangers are different too on the N/A the first hangers are on the rear engine/Gear box mount but on the glanza there in the tunnel where the cat sits on the n/a exhaust there is one there on the n/a its used for the earth strap from the cat dont know why tho lol. I just welded an extra mount on my tunnel to take the glanza exhaust. other than that and the down pipe they are the same. Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 out of the 2 hangers in that pick there is only the one on the right hand side of the car the other one is the one I welded on. from the other side The other thing I forgot is the rear hanger on the glanza back box is longer making the exhaust lower as the n/a bumper is not as deep as the glanza one.

Thanks anyway though.
