[alfa] Euro Manifolds and Downpipes

[Jon Pike <jhpike@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all..

Quick, late night question..

Has anyone converted their later, post 74 Spider to the 72-74 manifolds 
and the corrisponding downpipe/resonator section? 
Specifically,  my 77 has a cat setup,  and thereby a flanged end center 
muffler to go on the other end of the cat.
The early type downpipe has the resonator/first muffler where the cat 
would be,  and a slip joint to go to the non flanged version of the 
center muffler. 
I've been told both that the early downpipe wont line up with a cat type 
center,  and that they will.   So, I'm trying to find someone who's 
actually done this,  to see who's right,  and if it's a good idea or 
not,  to buy a new center to go with it.

While I'm at it.. I'm still looking at various ways to come up with 
affordably manufactured cat flanges,  so one could  (assuming the answer 
is "they do line up") take a euro downpipe and have it cut and welded to 
go to the cat for a bolt up conversion,  or other types of exhaust 
creativity that might benifit from one.  So let me know if you are 
interested in some of these..
