Just ordered an invidia exhaust, but...

So I went through the order process and the receipt says it's for a 2005-2006. I own the 2003 and didnt know if there's be any fitment issues. Help!

Does your vendor not accept returns or exchanges?
I suppose return shipping, if your responsibility, encroaches on the cost for a local shop relocating the sideways-facing mounts, then the local shop alteration becomes a better option?
It shouldn't be a very involved process, maybe reach out to Invidia for the 02-04 mount measurements to bring with you to the shop?

Exhaust hangers might be different on pre face lift cars.

Yes the exhaust hangers are totally different so you need the correct ones to make it fit right so you need to cancel it or change it otherwise you will have a headache.
We offer it by a drop down menu on our website

That's good as returns are a hassle and shipping that is super expensive due to the box size. Hope we can help in the future.
