New vs. old Borla cat-back for MCS?

I see Borla introduced a new Borla cat-back system for the '04 MCS. Just curious if anyone knows what the differences may be? I have an April '04 build MCS with the current Borla cat-back system (Borla part 140035) and it fits/works great. The only thing I can think is that when I installed mine, I was only able to use the outer exhaust hangers for the mufflers. Didn't really affect anything, though. everything else fit nicely.

AMPR is right. MINI changed the exhaust hangers on the 04's so Borla made a change to their exhaust to comply. Nothing else has changed.

yeah, I figured it was probably something with the rear hangers but wasn't sure. Thanks!
