yeah my STi exhaust took a little work but the shop got it to fit, as long as it avoids "insert part here" it should be ok.
search for STi exhaust in the parts shed, it'll tell you what i had to do if you want, i can't remember.
but yeah i am sure it will fit without too much trouble, i mean it's just a pipe after all

ON friday i made a 9.5" extension to go in between my mid pipe and my exhaust pipe, and that's it. my custom titanium wrx exhaust fits almost perfect, i had to bend the lip of my rear end housing with a crescent wrench and i need a bit more length from the hangers on the back and i'm good.
i also installed new ngk wires to replace the stock ones that said "1992" on them and ngk v power plugs to replace the bosch that were in there, after that i popped in a k&n filter.
it seems to run a bit smoother but i didnt really notice any hp, but that could be because i hear my exhaust and that makes it sound like the engine is working harder than it is, i'm thinking i should maybe desnork????
things i still need to do is, intercooler, mbc, tdo4, pulleys, lowering suspension

With heavy load, exhaust temperature measured at the manifolds could get up to around 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. It might drop a few hundred degrees by the time it gets to the downpipe.

I was gonna say about 1400. Up a hill in third gear 4000 rpms, my car pinned my banks desiel EGT gauge at 1500. I know it went higher.

I,ve checked which ones we shouldn't use....
304L or 304 and 316l or 316...L stands for low carbon
316 ss is good for about 1400F

types of stainless you could use...
ss 310, this type is used as well on jet engines, max cont. heat is 2050 intermittent is 1950, this is more of a popular ss but you could also use 442 or 446 which is harder to find
304 and 316 are good to around 1450 to 1550 and thats really pushing it, it melts at less than 2000,
if anyone needs to know more let me know
