Just recieved y-pipe, need help

I just bought a y-pipe from someone off the org and was wondering if this is actually a 5th gen y-pipe...

I've looked at a couple pictures of 5th gen y-pipes and didn't notice a bend before the flex section as in the y-pipe i just got. I won't have the time or resources to install it before mid-march...

here's a link to the pic:

I've never seen a y-pipe that looked like that... Budget? I doubt its WS cuz I've seen those and I don't remember em looking like that... unless the person bent it to make it fit... who did you buy it from? If he has the same year and spec Max... wouldn't it be the same for you?

Another reason to see pics of it before ya get it....

Btw, that looks mighty beat-up... I hope ya didn't pay too much for that either...

It looks like the O2 bung is way down by the flange closest to the cat.... never seen that before... then again... what do I know?

Actually... looks like there's something up front like an O2 bung too... can't really tell from the picture... whatever it is... it looks odd...

I bought it off LondonSE....

It took forever to get it, and its not even the right pipe.
On a side note, i did get my ZEX nitrous kit

I don't mean to be a jerk, but was there a good reason why ya didn't verify all this BEFORE ya bought it from LondonSE? I'd think that you'd wanna have all available information considered before the making the purchase... well, maybe it'll fit or you can have some shop bend it to fit... although it looks kinda banged up and may not be that sturdy.... then again, its none of my business.... I just hope ya didn't pay too much for it...
