The pre-2000 mufflers have two threaded bolts that point straight back towards the front of your car, and mounts directly into a tranny mount.
You can, however, fabricate a mount to make it work with your car. Perhaps a local muffler shop can do this for you.

Thankyou very much for your reply!
So is it mainly a matter of the mounts, or would some of the pipe routing etc differ? As I was investigating, I seem to be lead to believe the cat setups arent the same either.
The shop that pulled the exhaust off the previous owners car mentioned it included Cat's but as far as I am aware my 2001 'S' has cats build into the headers and another set of secondary cats? Hoping these mufflers can be somehow grafted on and get someone to make up secondary cat bypasses..
Considering the exhaust is probably going to cost in the vicinity of $1600, I really wish it was merely a bolt on affair, there arent so many places I know of that would be able to make a custom exhaust (or anyone thats done one before locally), so even though its not the cheapest option, it seems like probably a better one than getting a local shop to experiment and result in a bad sounding/bad fitting mess.
