B5 and c5 v6 exhaust compatibility (2.8q)

[jcb]

Do these platforms share exhausts?

Struggling to find a match to the one I have,
All the ones I see have twin exit pipes on a single sided system and mine has a two separate sides and single exit pipes!

Need one asap and am trying to avoid piling £500 into a car I paid £500 for!

What other v6 options are there for a 96 c5 2.8quattro avant?

Found a 2.7t cat back system that looks very similar

You have a b5 with exhaust on both sides? Surely, not a stock system? All b5's had exhaust on one side, including s4 and rs4.

ah sorry. I have an C5 with exhaust on both sides...or I did until the driver's side back box fell off last night!!
you may have answered the question though, I thought the 2.8 B5 may have been similar

there seem to be a number of things listed as compatible with other v6's, I saw one for B5C5 and also diesels that I am not sure about

I can't find a true diagram of what is on mine to confirm

B5 is very different to the C5.

Most C5 quattro exhausts should fit though, including V8/V6 etc etc. If it looks the same shape it will be compatible. The only issue you might have is different pipe sizes at the front end.
