Exhaust Help...think I got screwed

Well I ordered an exhaust from a guy on here and he said it fits the ACD cars. I already had a downpipe from somebody else, but I figured I would buy the entire exhaust. I get the exhaust and it looks nothing like the DP I have (same as pictured on Buschur's site). It was advertised as Buschur Racing 3" TBE, and I even asked the guy if it would fit the ACD cars.

Take a look at the pics. His exhaust is the one with 3 bolt flange from DP to O2 housing. This isn't going to fit my IX is it? The distance from the bend to the actual flange from DP to O2 is shorter on the 3 bolt version than the 2 bolt version.





Also on the DP I bought that looks correct, it looks like a gasket is welded in to the DP to O2 side. I measured it and it sure as hell isn't 3"



Please help!

Top exhaust is for a turbo kit car. Not sure who's though. Crappy hangers and a welded on aluminized section. It wont bolt to anything on your car.

The bottom exhaust (2 bolt) is for a stock turbo car. I does not have provisions for the factory donut which allows for engine movement without stressing the exhaust. The hangers are also a poor design but not as bad as the other. The 2 bolt flange probably mimics the outlet size of the turbo. The other end has a 3 bolt flange on it. It will not bolt to your factory CAT.

easy fix if you can weld an 2 bolt flange on the end of the dp.. you can usually get the piece from from Jegs.

The pipe itself is not the same length as the Buschur DP. It is significantly shorter after the bend before the DP to Turbo flange.
