4th & 5th Exhaust System comparison pics?...

Post by NafemanNathan » Tue May 13, 2014 11:05 pm

Does anyone have a pic of a 4th gen and 5th gen exhaust system (Ideally both full) side by side for easy comparison?

What are you trying to work out? There are so many 5th gen variants it's likely you'll get a load of different ones that might not be that helpful.

It doesn't matter about lengths, it's the overall shape, length and hanger positions.

Basically I want to have an exhaust made that although custom will be completely interchangeable between the two generations. With possibly only hanger repositioning which could be strap-on jobs (Yes strap-on! ;) ).

Yeah, I have a JDM 4G catback on my UK 5G.

Sits a little short but all the hangers lined up (bar one at the very end but it's an easy fix). There is enough wiggle room in the hanger positioning for the exhaust to still sit right once the exhaust is moved back (towards to rear of the car) a bit.

This same exhaust fits/fitted the same on both @A1ex and @andyconnolly's 5th gens IIRC.

No proper pictures but I will have it up on a ramp in a few weeks so can grab some pics and measurements of 5G hanger locations if needed. Admittedly I haven't changed the rest of it yet, but I can't see there being any issues because tons of people swap between gens/market.

Yea mine is same, backbox section sits a little to far in, I;m going back when my exhaust guy recovers to have it extended out and have it sit a little higher as I don't like how its sitting just now.. Mine did need slightly modified in hanger location on the center as well.

That's the best pic I have of fitment, it's about 2-3 inches sorted out the back than the 5g exhaust.

Iirc, 1 hanger on the back box is out of line

Cool. So if I have one made for the 5th gen then it'll just be fractionally too long for a 4th. And I'll get the mid-section hangers made detachable/slidable.

And is it just the hanger on the driver's side on the actual backbox that's in a different location? (Front of the backbox on a 4th, back of the backbox on a 5th)? As I could make that switchable as well.

Sweet!

I think I'm going to get my custom exhaust manifold fitted to the 5th gen until the 4th requires it ;)
