tsc3 330/325 convert to 323? HELP!

BAMAXXX · 07-06-2011, 09:17 PM

Looks like everyone has tsc3 for their 325 or 330, but I have a 323 and would like to make it fit. I know there's some sort of adapter, but I would like to know what exactly do I have to do to make it fit?
What are the main differences?
Do I have to get something cut and wielded or would an adapter be enough?
Can I convert a regular exhaust by changing something?

Does anyone have an comparative photos?

Thanks!

Flanges orientation is different and might be shorter or longer...

How much are you willing to put into this? (Time/Effort).

Easiest thing to do DIY is to buy a set of stock manifolds from a 325/330. All would bolt up, then. Considering you're driving a 323, putting on some newer cats (or even going with some Magnaflow cat/headers) would pick up a bit more power for you.

Just DO NOT run headers with the combo. You'll want to run your car into a wall. And this is coming from a guy with a really loud setup.
