The only possible differences is where the downpipe may connect to the rest of the exhaust and e-manage settings

yes, you will. where the exhaust connects on each car is totally different. Nothing that an exhaust shop couldnt take care of for ya.

so i can just goto an exhaust shop and just get a custom downpipe right? would that be cheaper then buying an aftermarket downpipe from other website?

Its a matter of extending or shortening the pipe thats there. Midas can do it in their sleep.

Just remember to get the management changed. There are multiple parameters that work within the engine differently between the two.

Just do it right. Why frick around with it, just to do it a second time. In this day and age, with all the stuff thats out there, why mess around with an AFC that does less than even a half *** job of doing what you need it to do?
