Regional-variant chassisRegional chassis variants can differ in steering linkage routing, brake master cylinder position, and exhaust clearance. A downpipe engineered around one market's engine bay is not automatically a drop-in on another.

- 03No published clearance to the OEM steering linkage
- 04Fabrication required for the bracketry
