I know the topic has been thrashed about a bit. I searched and couldn't come up with any solid conclusion.

Simple question: Will this full combo work with my '00 RS with a 95WRX swap (TD05)?

Thanks for the help.

You mean you have a swap with a 95WRX?

As long as you have a different crossmember, I'd guess it would. I'm not 100% sure that the older JDM wrx engines had the exact same up/downpipes though. I'll let someone else confirm that.

yes it will

im using a rsr downpipe with a fujitsubo catback(both made for 02+ sti) and the rest is stock manifold/uppipe. Ur gonna be missing 1 exhaust hanger on the axleback unless u have a 02+ wrx/sti rear end crossmember which has the extra exhaust hanger.

it will work perfectly

on most exausts there is a third mount on the axel back portion of the can (this one don't seem have it) that is differnt on a GC and a GD (same thing impRS is talking about)

the can will be closer to the bumper on a GC car but you can also get kartboy long mounts

Thanks for the input guys. So there is no worries with the different turbo for the uppipe/downpipe flanges? When/if I go with this setup, I will report on my results. I'm still at least a couple months from starting my swap anyway.

I know this has been stated (and questioned) before, but just to add fuel to the fire I just put an APEXi N1 exhaust for a GGB on my 1994 GF8 and it fit just fine with no problems. (I just wish I would have had time to put the downpipe on too)
