the only difference is that Tickford welded in a restrictor in the downpipe to reduce surge from the t4 when they converted them from 3drs into rs500s

The factory exhaust fitted to the cars were one piece from the downpipe to the seperate tail section, where as the ford replacement items were two piece with a set of sleeves joining front and rear silencers in the mid section.

I had seen this on a RS500 column in a mag and wondered what people do when fitting a T4 to there cars, do they bother with the restrictor??
