Typically not on the first try. The 1.8 OBX headers are notorious for coming into contact with the transmission tunnel. They also sometmie shave fitment issues with the EGR tube; either it comes up short, or overshoots the intake port. O2 placement is usually a problem too, but just requires you to extend the wiring some. You can either do it yourself or buy the kits that Racing Beat or Good-Win sell.
