This is correct. This is probably one of the first new version catbacks available and is totally redesigned from the routing to the hangar type and locations. It appears this new version exits JDM style at an angle. Totally different exhaust.

Otherwise, the exhaust won't line up. You'll run the mid pipe close to the driveshaft and the metal part of the fuel tank. And if you try to correct that by moving the exhaust bracket over to the other side, you'll end up touching your bumper and melting it...
If you read my post again, you'll see that I'm actually quoting that picture from Dr.SS . That isn't my car or exhaust. I just wanted to make sure that folks were mounting their 02 sensors below the horizon as bosch and other companies specifically dictate that you should not do that.

Well, it's not 180 degrees out, it's more like 90 degrees out. No need to split hairs though.

Actually the customer could have them welded anywhere they wanted, the 180 degree comment was due to having to rotate the mid pipe 180 degrees out to make clearance. Therefore the O2 bung was now 180 degrees from the position in the picture.

Yes Megan does mount the O2 bung at 4 o'clock. I was a bit concerned when I bolted it on over 2 years ago too... that was then, and it still seems fine now.

The previous design was slightly "JDM" canted as shown in my customer's original post. Granted the original cant only followed flush to the bumper cover, but it's not like it is something totally new to the line.

Zeus, got your PM. Thanks for the help.

As for the exhaust, I haven't had any problems with it to date... Only thing is that I'm not sure how well the mount will hold up the current way I have jury rigged up... I'm sure that Megan will come through in taking care of it as evident in previous post about their excellent customer service...

Ahh, gotcha... I ended up replacing the Test Pipe w/ a HFC that didn't include the O2 Bung, so I ended up getting a muffler shop to add one in... It's at like 3:30...
