Nope. Length and hanger position (muffler)are different. A good exhaust shop can modify it for a small fee.

ok.. it has an adjustable middle hanger.. the type that goes around the 3in. piping and bolts together to hold in place...

and btw Casey(hardware89) its 3 in piping.. and when we install it we will see how close it is... if it crazy far, we probably can just take it to a welding shop in copper and they can fix it for cheap...

I know this isn't a new thread, but I just wanted to say that if the exhaust is stock, it isn't even close to 3" in diameter. Internal on a WRX is closer to 2" even.

Unless of course it's aftermarket, in which case, carry on. :)

I had to fit a 3" turbo-back to my 91 SS. It required a LOT of modification and about 14" of pipe added to it to get it out to the bumper. All the hangers had to be moved and then it tool about 4 hours of fitting and TIG welding with the car on a friends lift to make it fit correctly.

It came with the car so I didn't have a choice.
