Tim, you are missing the point of my question. Jim clearly shows on his diagram that the bolt pattern on the 1.7/1.8 muffler is approximately 1.5" wider than the 2.0.
Maybe I should clarify my question. Is the difference in width due to the shape of the heat exchangers or the distance between the exhaust ports on the engine itself? If I hang the 1.7 SSI's on my 2.0 (if they even fit) what would be the distance between the bolt holes on the flanges? The reason I am asking is because I have never tried to mix & match exhaust systems from different engines before. I'm sure someone out here has attempted to do this, so I figured I would ask before I bother to try it and find out on my own that it does not work. It wouldn't be too difficult to modify the flanges on the muffler if the bolt pattern is slightly off, but why even try if someone definitively knows that it won't work & I would be wasting my time. Will the HEs fit, and if so, which muffler would have to be used? |
