OK, Good Stuff.

If we consider that the car will have the stnd. dual down pipe, a cat.,
and focus on the cat back portion;

Is the determining factor one of full vs mini spare tire compartment
size and the routing of the pipe in this area, OR is it just a question
of having extra pipe sticking out he back?

Context in my case is MkII exhausts adapted to an '81 Mk1.

tia, & pls. be patient with me.
