BigAl Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hey guys, my name is Alex, just got back in to the wonderful world of Subys a few weeks ago with the purchase of my 88 GL 4x4. I will put up an intro thread once I have some pics, but just needed a question answered. I found someone parting out a 90 Loyale FWD. I am looking to buy the backseat and the full exhaust. Both cars are wagons by the way. I need a new exhaust manifold and the muffler, both of which look to be in great shape and also the backseat as mine is complete, but pretty gross. I'm almost positive the seat will work but I was hoping for some confirmation. My other question is, was the exhaust routing any different on the 2WD Loyale vs the 4WD GL. From the pictures provided it looks like it will fit, but again just needed some confirmation as alot of cars these days will route the exhaust different for 2WD and 4WD models. And to wrap it up, the exhaust manifold should be identical between the 2 cars correct? Thanks in advance. Lovin the site so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Im pretty sure the exhaust routing is the same, but i could be wrong. The eaxhaust manifold (we call it the Y pipe) is the same. Should bolt in. -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Very cool, thats what I thought. Thank you. Any idea on the rear seats ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 rear seat and y-pipe definitely. the pipe before the muffler might be routed differently though, as the rear suspension is quite a bit simpler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Right on, all I really need is the y-pipe and muffler, so I'm not super concerned with the center piping, but I might still use the cat off the other car as it was alot lower miles. Thanks for all the help guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 The rear seatw will be a direct bolt it, as long as they are both wagons. Loyals are just stripped down GLs with a hair more fancy than a DL. But the seats swap between them all. -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bratman18 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 The mid pipe is different between the 4WD and 2WD but if I remember correctly, I have used 2WD mid pipe on a 4WD before. I know for a fact you can use the 4WD on the 2WD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Like it was said, the y-pipe and the muffler are the same on the 2wd and 4wd cars. The mid section is not however as on the 2wd, it sits in the trans tunnel and will block the driveline on the 4wd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Perfect, the y-pipe and muffler are the total losses on the GL, so as long as those work I should have everything I need. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Like it was said, the y-pipe and the muffler are the same on the 2wd and 4wd cars. The mid section is not however as on the 2wd, it sits in the trans tunnel and will block the driveline on the 4wd. Nah, I've used the 2wd pipe on 4wds, it works, rides a little close to the carrieir bearing but it works, and I've never had a heat issue in TURBO car. Gives you a half inch of clearance.
