Catback Compatibility

[DevinC]

So just got my Stagea S1 c34 RS4 couple weeks ago, my first inline six turbo, so I want to hear it a bit more

Being in Canada and only having the 2nd or 3rd c34 in the counrty, there not many parts options without huge shipping costs.

I do however have access to used r32 and r33 catabcks all day everyday and I'm wondering just how close they are to fitting.

I do have a welder to extent or adjust, just not up for reworking everything

Hey Devin,

How did you go about getting a Stagea into Canada? Is there a year cut off or something to have a RHD car?

[Big Fella]

Pretty sure Canada has RHD cars in some provinces.

R33 is close just needs some bits added. If your cut and shut a system you may aswell just make a custom one

[rb30dett]

R33 needs about 4-5" extension after rear flange, the rear hangers need relocating. Buy a good cat back then drop your standard system and sit the r33 system on top of it you will see the simple mods required. Will take less than an hr to do if you know what your doing. Get a common size system too as a lot of systems from Japan are 80mm this size is near impossible to buy here.

Thanks for the info guys

Cars 15 years or older are allowed into Canada in all provinces except Quebec, each province has its own rules tho, I'm in bc so its one of the easier ones.

Ahh yep, 15 year rule. Figured there was a cutoff somewhere. I saw a heap of fugly Soarers over there, never a Stagea..

Yeah, lots of soarers, a gazillion r32 skylines(like as many as there would be if they where sold here), aquaintance makes a good living buying wrecks from the insurance company to part out lol hence my question haha.

I've never seen a Stagea in person till my mystical beast showed up on a tow truck 1.5 months after I bought it and they've been available for over a year now, so many WTF looks rollin through town.
