i have a 97 1.8L and will probably be purchasing someones used OBX full setup (header back) who had an rd2. will everything mate up properly and fit fine?

Yeah I think the flex pipe is longer on the RD2 OBX system. And that could be the reason why my flex pipe is stretched and doesnt really fit, cause maybe it was from an RD2...

If this is the case, I'm wondering if it was only the RD2 OBX flexpipe that is longer, or is every aftermarket flexpipe longer for the RD2?

The exhaust as a whole though would fit fine I think. I dont see it being an issue at all man. At least not to the point where it cant be used.

idk i'm unsure, when the obx headers was put on my bros gk the flex pipe was 2 short. A small extension had to be made, but thats all.
