Is this the wrong Magnaflow for a 05?

Just had my new Magnaflow delivered. The car's at the shop so I can't check mine for a day or two and I'm gonna have a major headache if I have to wait till then to find out...

When I ordered it said 02 thorugh 06 but now I here the hangers are different from 04 to 05.

Is the below correct for a '05? I.E. the inner hangers pointed in instead of parrallel to the outers?

Thanks

Thanks PGT but it's the inners I'm worried about. They are the ones that seem to change...

I can't stand the thought of hacking a 3rd exhaust system!

And you're 05 or newer I take it?

Thanks.

Do you happen to recall if your inner hangers are parallel to the outers or at 90 degrees and pointed in board?

OK, just confirmed with Cmdr Vimes who I saw had a pic of a JCW oneline. He confirms my 05 needs the perpendicular mounts that I have. So now I will sleep tonight!

I also know it's correct because I have that model of Magnaflow installed.

That is an '05-'06 model, P/N 16662, just like the one on my '06. The hangers are at 90 degrees to each other.
