Coupé exhaust

Hello and greetings from Finland!

I just bought a -98 406 Coupé with 2,0 petrol engine (XU10J4R).

The exhaust of the car is leaking and it seems like it will come down at any moment. :lol: I think the exhaust pipe doesn´t fit the car perfectly. The "center box" of the exhaust doesn´t fit to its place and it must be slightly inclined...
So, my question: if I buy a exhaust of a sedan 406 (the same engine, of course!), will it fit to a Coupé? Is there any difference between exhausts of sedan and coupe? I can easily find a new exhaust to sedan but i have not found one that is said to be suitable to a coupe.

Thank you and sorry for bad English!

Good evening, erm, Finland :shock: (why do I feel like James Hetfield?)

Just checking the diagrams, the centre section is the same part numbers, the rear box is different though and I don't know if this is just the different tailpipe, it could be longer (not sure if this will be a problem for you anyway). This is original parts, so if there's some non-standard parts then all bets are off I'm afraid.

By the way your English is perfect :wink:

All the same.
The difference in part number on the back box is indeed the tail pipe - coupe is straight, saloon curves down.

Would it be possible to fit the 2.2hdi coupe exhaust to the 2.0hdi saloon? Much prefer the chrome tip and the straight exit as opposed to the pointing down style.
