Exhaust Pic Request (EU and US)

Hoping someone can help.

Looking into all possible exhaust options on my OPF car and need to see some pictures of the exhaust system from underneath, ideally pictures taken on a ramp. Also if anyone has the technical documentation for the exhausts on each?

I want to know what the differences are between the EU and US spec models.

Thanks

Space-wise, they're identical. The euro spec combines an opf and secondary cat in the same can midway down the car. The US spec has a secondary cat only in the same space. Other than that one difference, they're identical. I took my US spec car to SuperSprint who has developed exhaust solutions for both.

Thanks for this info, was searching high and low for clarification.

I have all info and photos and put into some thread here. I also have EU car, first i remove opf filters and got check engine, after i made DME tune, 1 year after install full akrapovic exhaust...

USA cars don't have OPF, they have secondary cats instead.
