Important fitment information
Important: 200 CPI sports catalyst. Requires the later two-bolt manifold flange.

New for 2026, supplied with a replacement centre brace plate to allow the large 3″ pipe to pass over it, and rotating flanges on the manifold connection pipe. The shotgun tailpipes require the bumper to be cut. They can be fitted as supplied or cut to the preferred design.
