From the research I’ve done it appears that 2.4L and earlier 912 mufflers fit our /6 builds but I wanted to double check.
Thanks! |

They come in at an angle. Could it be modified to work ? Yes for sure. Would be a bunch of work. I could see that as a 8-10 hour project to ensure everything lines up , trial fit, weld etc. |

Buying new is cheaper. |
