Can I take the exhaust from my 1988 gl hatchback and put it on 1990 loyale HB?

[lsdecoy]

will it work? anyone tried?

I only have wagons, which I have swapped such parts between, and it worked. It's probably worth trying.

88 GL hatch is an EA81 and loyale is an EA82.

 

there's another thread where it's said the exhaust manifolds have the same bolt pattern/interchange with each other but the sections from there back are routed differently.

I missed the different engine models. Mine are all EA82 from 86 to 93 is my range of hands on experience

Since the thread title refers to the Loyale as a hatch-back (I assume is what HB means), it's possible that they're both EA82s.

 

'85-'88 was confusing, as the old body style/engine cars overlapped with the newer ones, even though they were considerably different.

 

EA81s were still available in the Brat, or hatch body style. That hatch looks like this:

 

EA82s were available in Sedans, Wagons:

 

or coupes:

 

 

If both cars are EA82s, and either both turbo, or non-turbo, than yes, the exhaust should all fit. If not, some of it may work, some may not
