Default Madhammer ... A4 to M6 question

Just purchased a 96 Z28 A4 with less than 51,000 miles and wanted to ask the gear heads around here if I should wait to install my Madhammer exhaust (GMMG) until i convert the car to a M6. Won't do the tranny swap for about 3 months and would like to hear this baby roar. Will anything change space wise with the swap which will make me cut the exhaust again?

Thanks and a proper intro with pictures will happen on Sunday. It actually snowed here in Odessa Texas so it will have to wait.

To my knowledge, there is no difference in the mounting positions of the exhaust between the M6 and A4.

Would not hurt to get a few more opinions though....

On a 96, the catback starts past the tranny. Why would it be a problem?

I was hoping there would be no problem with this but I figured I'd ask. Thanks for the answers. Like I mentioned I will start an intro post because I have other questions that I will need help with. All I can say is here LT1s are beasts.

The exhaust goes from the catalytic converter back on the PS so I don't see why it would effect the tranny swap. Glad to see someone doing a A4 to M6 swap. I have considered it to be a project in the near future. You'll have to let me know how it goes! Post some pics when you can id love to see it!
