Erm. I know that the ST185 and ST205 downpipes are interchangeable.
I don't thing MR2->Celica works, as the exhausts are rather different. -------------------- JDM ST205

No I'm pretty sure they're the same.

Aussie makes different downpipes for the MR2 and the Alltrac. A question I have always had is whether I should use an alltrac downpipe or a MR2 downpipe since my clip was from an MR2. It seems to me since the cat is from the MR2, I would need the MR2 downpipe.

[right][snapback]246721[/snapback][/right] The only thing I think that would make a difference would be where the downpipe connects to your existing exhaust. I think the one for an MR2 is angled a little more, so it might not line up.I would say just use the downpipe from a ST185 or ST205. I'm using the Aussie from a ST205.

they are all the same thing. the only changes in the exhaust happen past the downpipe.

then there you go, they're all the same.
So you have a variety to choose from. |

QUOTE they are all the same thing. the only changes in the exhaust happen past the downpipe. Here is a picture of a MR2 cat and alltrac cat side by side (smaller is MR2):  It seems to me that this would effect where the midpipe hooks up. If so, and my midpipe was custom fabricated for the MR2 cat, I think buying a MR2 downpipe makes sense. That said, Doge used the KO downpipe made for the MR2 and got it to work. He said there was a little effort needed but perhaps even if they don't match up perfectly, you can get it to work with a little effort. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

where did you get that pic from and are you sure its not a 1st gen or maby 3rd gen cat? there is also another piece of that DP that the pic dosnt show...so the whole thing might still be the same size.
i know a friend of mine that had a jdm st185 in his alltrac. his motor died and he swaped in a jdm mr2 motor. he said the downpipes were the same and his exhaust ligned up prefect. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
