Is the only difference between the hatch & chamade exhausts, the length of the tailpipe coming out of the back box? All the rest of the system is the same? Same hanger locations etc?

Has anyone got any idea how much difference between the two? Is it marginal or quite a bit? I'm just wonderin cuz I've got another exhaust to replace me rattly mongoose (which is goin back to 'em for a refund) and.......the more I look at it the more I think the tailpipe's just too long & it's gonna stick out like a bitch. I've put the new backbox on the floor under the car so the hangers are directly inline with the mongoose's, and the new tailpipe is about an inch longer it seems.

Hmm. Guess I'll find out when I try & fit it!

What would you say is the case here?;

1. The new exhaust is for the hatch and is slightly longer than the standard one (65mm longer)

OR

2. The new exhaust is for the Chamade & I am gonna kill somebody

I believe I'll be gettin rid of it sir. I dunno really. I was gonna keep it as a spare, just incase like. But can't see myself using it to be honest. I got the rest of the system too. I haven't got the clamp that joins the 2 bits together tho. It's a weird thing, not like a 'normal' exhaust clamp. Doh
