Default BA exhaust onto AU

As the title says just wondering will they fit from back of cat onwards or are they totally different. Just seems to be a lot of second hand BA systems for sale than AU and was thinking cheaper option till funds come up for new system.Thanks

No. BA's have the IRS cradle and all the shizzle, wont fit.

you could probably make it fit, but it definitely won't be a straight bolt on job

The IRS in the BA's is different. I still doubt very much it would fit.

it probably wont fit because the ba has a 5.4 litre in it and yours is a 5 litre and i think they were a wider engine

BA Exhaust's run over the IRS cradle, AU runs under.
