Nope.
Saloon


Estate

In a nutshell, yes.  Just dont expect the exit of the back box to be clear of the back bumper as the estate is a longer car and the exhaust length is adjusted at the back box, as I recall.

Different angles on centrebox tube outlets

But if you use the entire system, it will fit.  Just be shorter?  Thats my experience anyway.

Looks like two different bespoke handmade stainless systems so, pipe fitter differences/interpretations?

Agree with Rob on this one. The saloon has tighter bends on the ends of the centre boxes as the estate tailpipe exits further to the left than the saloon. I'd say it wouldn't fit as the rear hanger would not be anywhere near the estate bumper cut-out.

Confirm saloon exhaust will NOT fit estate.

When I bought my GM exhaust for my old car they gave me one mid section from an Estate by mistake, and a correct mid section for my saloon. They are very different angles on the mid sections due to the Estate silencer being sited further outboard due to the more central spare wheel well. The saloon fuel tank is offset to the drivers side so the silencer can sit further inboard.
Or, put another way, if Estate exhaust was fitted to a saloon, the upright spare wheel well would be in the way.
This is also evident with the irmscher "either side" double exit exhaust. The two silencer exits are a lot further apart.

Estate and saloon exhausts are not interchangeable. If they where they wouldnt list Estate and saloon separately.

So that's a definite no.

cheers guys thats made it clear for me

No.  It won't fit. I accidentally bought an estate exhaust of my saloon. You cannot get the back box to line up right with centre box exit pipes.

confirm - won't fit

[Zippy2012]

Confurm NOPE!!
the bends are all wrong between rear boxes & angle into rear box also slightly longer on estate!
