According to Mocki the later system will fit the earlier engines. By the time I found this out I had already bought a complete early system which incidentally is cheaper to buy.

Questions about exhausts are best posted in 'Technical' as you may get a better response there. :)

yes but you'll need to get the fixing/hanging brackets from a breaker.

or fabricate your own.... like I did
