ok the early style had the tailpipe exit in a different place (angled to the left iirc)

if its a mk2 u have just buy the mk2 backbox

that is about the only off the shelf tuning part your gonna get for that engine however except a k&n or similar cos no-one bothers tuning it

if its a mk1 then the mk2 backbox will hit the bumper
if its a mk2 then the mk1 backbox will hit the bumper :P

i think most 91's were mk2 (ie rounded lights and indicators and nice interior)

soo the 91-93 box will fit properly
