Am I right in thinking that the only diff between saloon and estate exhausts is a longer tailpipe on the estate?? If so would a pre facelift estate exhaust be just right for a facelift saloon?

Cats rarely fail, and aftermarket ones can be sh1te, so a good second hand one is probably the best bet.

Could be right but cant see why they would change the prop shaft and diff etc or the gearbox and not much else to get in the way lol Hmm maybe fuel tank or spare wheel issues?

looking at the pics of estate vs saloon on the eternal site they look different - notably the angles of the pipes.

If no one knows for sure I'll stick em side by side tomorrow lol If not then could you put an estate backbox onto saloon midboxes to give the right shape with the extra length tailpipe? lol
