Sorry to say this exhaust won't fit on a type3. There just isn't enough room due to the cooling fan layout. You'll need a dedicated type3 header if this is the route you want to go. >I know the heater boxes are different, but what if I use J-tubes. Type1 J-tubes are a little too short for use here too.

This is not a stupid question, as most T-3 newbie's don't realize that there is that much of a difference in parts like this. Asking questions is a very good thing to do, and will help you get the necessary info you need before shelling out your hard earned dollars on stuff you don't need.
