Largely depends on your headers, I fitted a ba pursuit system to my old au which had difillipos, it all bolted straight up.

You might just need to fiddle fart around where it mates up to the headers.
Otherwise that it should bolt up easy enough.

Try it. Worse comes to worse you will need a Y piece made up but I reckon it will probably fit. It will probably be a lot quieter on an AU than on a B series though.

While you are there get the collectors on the factory headers opened up to 2.5" - you will probably need to to make it all fit ok anyway.
