Stock SS downpipe + Stock N/A exhaust?

Post by Project_Legacy »

ok here is my problem. ever since i did my turbo swap, ive just been running an open 3-inch SS bellmouth downpipe. loud as hell. i want to get a full exhaust and be able to pass emissions that is coming up soon. i still have my N/A cat all the way back to the muffler attached to the car. what i am thinking is, does anyone know if the stock legacy SS downpipe would be able to fit on the N/A Catback? i know the SS downpipe has a cat on it, but i dont know how the rest of the exhaust goes. if anyone has pictures of their stock SS exhaust on their car that would be great! thanks in advance!

The diameter of the donut gasket that goes at the spring joint is different between turbos and non-turbos, so I don't know if you'd even be able to bolt the two together.

This is what the turbo exhaust looks like:

ahh ic. it looks very similar to what the N/A was besides the turbo pipes. i think that donut gasket probably is different since the piping size is different (i think). well thanks for that. i guess i will just go with the hi-flow cat and 3inch catback.
