Difference in exhaust for 2002-03 and 2005?

I want to purchase an exhaust from a friend and he has a 2003 MCS and I have a 2005. Is there a difference between the compatability of these years or are they the same. If there's a difference, what's required for installation? Thanks!

The 03 sits higher in the tip section on the 05, so rear valance is tight when 03 system is fitted.Also one set of hangers fits but the other set is at 90 degrees to the mount on 05.Either get a shop with a torch to twist 90 degrees or just cable tie to rubber mount.Have done 3 Minis like this no problem.
