I noticed by looking at your Y-pipe that is an '88 Y-pipe. They are a different length than the 85-87's. I don't know what your exhaust situation is, but the stock 85-87 exhaust will not fit with that y-pipe. Your best bet is to order the catback exhaust and an '88 specific straight pipe.

If you have an 88 Y-pipe and an 85-87 exhaust, all you need to make them work is a replacement head pipe from the Fiero Store. Get the pipe that matches the year of your Y-pipe, and cut it to fit. (it's long enough to remove the catalytic converter, if desired).

i think the rest of the exhaust is from an 88 as well... will it be ok then? (it also already has cat cutout, just a pipe there, which is the way i wanted it)

Yeah, that'll work just fine then.

Yeah, that's fine. The only real change is the location of where the Y-pipe connects to the rest of the exhaust. As long as the exhaust and Y-pipe are from the same year, you're good to go.

I've got that throttle/cruise/kickdown (whatever!) cable bracket if no one closer comes up with one.
