This is US models, the Euro '92 was a CS-rear so our '92 was an oddball.
The center muffler hanger changed in '92 to the '93-up style, but the car sthill had the short rear and tailpipe, I think the tailpipe design may also have been offset toward the side of the car more.
So models up thru '91 will be similar (except maybe the downpipe) but then the '92 needs the '93-up style center muffler but the short tailpipe, then '93-later should be the same.
When I ordered for my '92 the center muffler came through as the '91 style and I ended up fabricating new bracketry, then had to have the offset S-shaped tailpipe made up at a muffler shop.
Note also that if you want a good fit the muffler clamps provided with the kit are NOT going to work well, I found there was insufficient clearance for the bolt-clamp ears on the front downpipe hanger and for the clamps on the ends of the center muffler, I cut off the ears on the front hanger and welded the hanger to the front pipe, and welded the center pipe, center muffler, and over-the-axle pipe together and installed it as one piece.
I was absolutely sure there wasn't going to be enough clearance, that it was going to bang into the car in about three different places, but after a little clearancing of the heat-shield along the side of the center pipe it fit perfectly with no banging, clunking, or thumping ever.
