Hi,
just test drove my 92 RT/10 with it's new Roeracing catback and highflows, man what a difference, it sounds like a proper sportscar now!
Special thanks to Mike at Roeracing for his friendly service.
Gotta say that it was much more of a PITA as expected. I thought that it was just cutting of the old one and clamping on the new one with a perfect fit and cut of the original hangermounts and weld them on....1 hour job...
But it wasn't. Exactly where the old exhaust needed to be cut were the hanger mounts, so they needed to come off first. Than we noticed the old exhaust wasn't exactly round and so the Roe wouldn't fit, we had to make the old one round again, luckily we were doing it at a carrepair shop, so we had everything we needed to do so.
Next we had to make the perfect fit for the endpart which comes out of the sill (so not sideskirt) But there weren't any hanger mounts on it yet so we had to put it on with tywraps a couple of times, fit the sill and so on, after some cutting and welding again, the endparts were on properly too. We decided to weld it on too, so I can be sure it stays in this position.
Next was making some hanger mounts, because the diameter of the original exhaust is different from the Roe they obviously didn't fit, so we cutted them in pieces and welded them on, not 100% straight so that the exhaust hangs perfectly in place.
The misfitment and other work we did is not the fault of Roe, they told me there was going to be some welding and cutting, for newer RT/10 it's almost bold one, fits from the box with special clamps, only the 92 is different I believe.
Here are some pictures:
before
new exhaust with highflow cats prewelded on it and the right size tube
after
watch the tweaked hangermounts and the nice polished part which comes out of the sill

rightside, watch the mounts, not welded straight, so the fit is perfect!
just wanted to share, because I couldn't find any posts concirning aftermarket exhaust fitment on a 92 and so I didn't know what to expect exactly, it's just a little bit different from the newer types, so maybe I just helped one of the other 284 owners!
