Just want to know what is needed to be modified to fit a Hatchback?
Just shorten the B-pipe or is the axle back needed to be modified also?

Not sure about the b-pipe.. but im pretty sure it has to be shortened..

The axle back has to be modified to fit... i bought a twinloop for a dc2r to put on my ek4 and the piping had to be cut and re fabricated to fit.

if its a stock dc2r muffler its too long and will rub against your swaybar and rear bumper

did you know why it needed the refab, was it because the bends were totally different?

bends totally different and needed to be changed to clear the lca's ... and the hooks are also different.

It will fit, had one on my ek4 a few years ago, I only had the muffler though.

Hakan at Performance exhaust fit it for me, no rubbing on the bumper or the sway bar; all he had to do was mate it to my axle back (which was custom) and shorten the tip as it was protruding from the rear... so yeah some custom work needed but physically the muffler does fit.
