Yes there is a difference, and why you pressed to need help so fast?

Cali spec is on cars that are 2k1 and some 2k that have 4-O2 plugs infront of the engine.

You need to make sure you get the right pipe otherwise you just wasted your cash.

You need a CALI spec Y. Anything above 2k1 is all Cali Spec.

You won't know until you install it. The dealer will know because it won't have Nissan's part number on it. I'd make sure it fits before you hand over the money.

Yes.

1) The pipe is physically bigger in diameter:
Stock is 2".
WSP Y is either 2.25" or 2.5".

2) The stock pipe has a "U" shaped bend on the rear pipe. The WSP Y does not.
