And then TBerk Queried:
(Open question to anybody in the know)
OK, given that the A1 and A2 offset will strike swapping the manifold; How
about down pipes? And perhaps more importantly what about post-CAT exhausts?
Does the A2 twist and turn differently than the A1s? 

I am contemplating an '81 w/ 1.7 to a conventional dual-down pipe to a
stainless A2 post CAT w/ exhaust.

Reasonable?  How much of the A2 series can I graft onto an A1?

'Tanks in advance,
