I've heard that due to a change in the shape of the gas tank an early 98 (E0) exhaust will not be an easy fit on an E1, is this correct?

I'm looking into a stock SVT exhaust from a possible E0 (no way to tell if the exhaust is "E0" or not as the car was manufactured right at the time the E1 was coming into production) and I have an E1 (99 SVT). Without any work, will this bolt up? I don't want to buy this to find out I need to spend more money to make it fit.
 
well yeah, they are not going to do it for free. I would thingk $60 would cover it. thats all it took to fix the fitment on my trubendz exhaust on the drivers side.

Are you asking about the exhaust dtour has? I believe I have the title for that car if you need info from it... It was a E0 as far as I could tell. Ding gaurds, calipers, control arms, and wheels all said E0.

welded and installed, most liekly not but who knows. I had the exhaust installed already.


you can install the exhaust but it will hit the gas tank. install yourself and head right to the exhaust shop to have the exhaust modified to not hit the gas tank :shrug:
