Questions on Magnaflow catback fitment

I found a great deal on a new Magnaflow catback......$350 shipped. The only thing is it's for a 2002 MCS and I have a 2006. Does anybody know what I need to do to fit it to mine or is it not possible?

The hangers are different. On the one you bought the hangers closest to the back of the car are straight and point towards the front of the car. On 05-06 minis the same hangers are bent towards the battery box. Here's an example with an invidia just because I am familiar with it. Note the hangers closest to the tips.

02-04 model



05-06 model

I haven't purchased it yet. It's on eBay, I was just wondering if it would be possible. Thanks for the pics.... I'll keep looking!

Any muffler shop can easily change the hangers so it'll fit.
