Sourced an r52 stock exhaust off an 06 and was wondering if it would be a direct fit onto a 2003 r53

The hanger locations will need to be changed/adjusted..

The r53's hanger locations were changed in 2004 (i think) production, to get ready for the r52 production, and the extra bracing needed on the r52.
So it will fit physically, but will need an adjustment.....

Is there any hardware needed? Does the hanger need to be cut off and moved? Or can you unbolt it from the exhaust and rebolt in a different location?
