xShodaimex Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 WOW!! i was sooo happy when my orders came from MSA[air dam and 2.5in exhaust system!!! now after looking at my part, it says 82-83 turbo exhaust. and i literally called the guy and asked for an 81 nonturbo exhaust.. the exhaust looks great.. I'd hate to go through the hastle of returning it and all so my question now is, will it FIT?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleachZee Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 yes it will fit. The exhaust will exit out of the rear left side and will not have that extended pipe that goes over to the right like your 81 NA has stock. You may have to trim the rear lower apron just a little to clear the tail pipes. No big deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cockerstar Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Turbo and non-turbo exhausts are the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleachZee Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Turbo and non-turbo exhausts are the same? I see where I left out some details... They follow the same route under the car. The exit side in the rear is different as I mentioned. If you bought a 'bolt-in' kit from MSA I'm not sure where it bolts up to. Obviously the turbo exhaust exit at the engine will be different than the non-turbo. The owner will need to figure that one out. Some of MSA's kits are cat-back and you may need a new or different catalytic converter. On the other hand, the 1982-83 non-turbo exhaust exits out the rear left just like the turbo muffler does. So maybe it is a non-turbo exhaust but just for 1982-83 only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
