Just found this

Merlin wrote:H22a5 and H22a8 exhausts are incompatible. The a8 has a longer downpipe, longer CAT, and shorter mid section. The best way (perhaps the only way) is to replace the whole a8 system with one from an a5. Or get sections custom made to suit what you already have.

so really all you'd need to do, is get an ebay manifold and downpipe, then a complete a5 cat/decat and catback? shouldnt be very clostly if you go second hand? like 200 quid?

Sorry to be spamming your thread spud

I might make a table at some point with what can work with what for the wiki

Not that costly at all, just a pain in the arse and spending more money I don't have
