That wont fit a V8 with only only intake.
It will fit all later 4-pots: SE, S4, S4s and GT3.

I have a used one on the shelf as well.

That is a V8 sports exhaust for the pre-centre exit models.

Indeed: dual entry and dual exit too.

But doesn't it look like a standard V8 silencer? (rather than a "racing" one?)

The 2.0 (GT3 and 2.0L market cars like Italy) has a LH exit, whereas the 2.2 has a RH exit (Why, I still wonder though )

As @sailorbob said this one is for a V8 engine though.

Clearly it is not a race part.  It is just the "Track us only" notation on the Sports muffler.

My bad, I didn't scroll through all the pictures and didn't see the entry and exit on the RH. But that means it doesn't fit a 4-pot, right?
As for RH or LH exit, my '90 SE had a LH exit, my '89 SE has a RH exit. I looked it up and both are as standard, for some reason it was changed. Maybe old 2.2 SE stock was used for the 2.0?

Yes, it's a V8 silencer.

Maybe, that's strange.

Are you sure your 90 SE was not a 2.0L one ?
