Factory turbo exhaust fit n/a car?

[Big_P]

Have an 85 600ES 2.5 turbo with the factory exhaust in good condition, and an 85 LeBaron 2.2 n/a with a crusty exhaust. Gotta pass inspection this week.

I can't imagine the two will interchange without the use of a chopsaw and welder, but it can't hurt to ask.

The down pipes might be different, but where they go into the cat might be the same, cat back. Measure the outside diameter of the down pipe going into the cat.

I have heard of many using the turbo downpipe on an N/A car for an upgrade (2.5 vs 1.75). After the downpipe it should be the same.

If your turbo car still has a 2.25" SV and downpipe the whole exhaust system will swap over. If you have a 2.5" SV and dp you'll have to slot holes in the DP flange to get it to bolt up to the early tbi exhaust manifold. But as far as the pipe's shape and all that, yes you can use the entire turbo exhaust system on an n/a, downpipe included.

I had a 2.25 turbo downpipe on my aries when it was tbi (and also when it was turbo, for a while :P).

You will need to swap out the DP, so you'll need a welder or clamps/expander but other than that, its a bolt on.

Why would you need to swap out the downpipe? I bolted both 2.25 and 2.5" turbo downpipes to the narrow pattern thats on tbi manifolds, and ive run a turbo downpipe and whole turbo exhaust on a tbi car..
