'05 exhaust and downpipe on an '03 MCS?

Hey folks, I was wondering if anybody knew if an '05 downpipe and exhaust would fit on an '03 MCS... Heavily considering an option, but don't know if it will even fit. Don't want to spend the money on something I can't install!

r53's (02-06) don't have down pipes.
exhaust manifold (header) for 05 will work for 03.
exhaust (cat back) for 05 will need hanger modification to fit the 03. it's a simple weld any muffler shop can do for you.
