You didn't say what year your car is.
All I can offer is what I have noted trying to replace my 88 9000 turbo muffler. Apparently the two years that are interchangeable without modifications are 87 and 88.
I found a donar car (88 9Kt) with a motor to put into my car. The donor has a brand new Walker 15156 center muffler. My original center muffler has a couple of leaks at the seams of the muffler.
I felt lucky that I had a replacement. However, the donor car did not have the rear muffler. It had only a fabricated tail piece and a larger chrome tip. After side by side inspection, the center mufflers are different. The donar car muffler is shorter by 4 or 5 inches.
I was in a junkyard and found a brand new muffler from a 92. The center muffler was larger, heavier, and looked more effecicient. It too didn't fit. I did note that many people (cars in the junk yard) either eliminate the center muffler or the rear muffler. I certainly didn't want to do that.
I did find a muffler that looked to be only a couple of months old at best. It was from an 88 9kt. Now my car is as quiet as a mouse.
