They are different exhaust manifold, flange and bore.

You would need to weld on a flange to fit the xr3i manifold downpipe.

Easy enough done

Also, with the RS system only having a backbox you will loose backpressure therefore maybe a slight decrease in performance (depending on your engine spec)
