I developed an exhaust leak on my 2003 AWD recently and finally had time to show it a little attention. If you go to your nearest parts store and tell them you have an all wheel drive model they will either tell you "We do not have a listing for your exhaust system" or will simply give you front wheel drive parts. Unfortunately, FWD exhaust is not the same as AWD exhaust and Walker Exhaust does not list parts for that model. Below are the correct gasket part numbers for First Generation AWD Vibe and Matrix.Manifold to Downpipe - 31378 (Walker)Downpipe to Catalytic Converter Assembly: 31360 (Walker)

hmmm.... i learned something new today....why are the parts different?

It has to do with the exhaust pipes being smaller to route around and next to the driveshaft.
