IMPRETTY SURE IT WONT FIT RIGHT ON A NON VERT, THE UNDERSIDE IS DIFFERANT TOO.sorry for the caps,,, anyways the stock exaust of my 86 gt doesnt quite fit the 88 gt vert right cus stuff is differant, and based on that and being under it alot lately i think its not feasible anyways even if it could fit
