Y-Pipe Immediate help needed

IS this the correct Y-pipe? When i lined up the top flange/piece (in the picture below) there are 3 bolts, but my stock pipe has 4. Plus, my car looks like it has 3 sensors while this pipe has only 2. IS this the correct Y-pipe? Thanks!

is that the front flange in the picture or the rear flange? If it is the first flange, that is a fed spec y-pipe. Is your car cali spec?

pipes

cattmanmain page

cattman ypipe page look at bottom for cali info

Go there and look at the pipes, also it shows you how to know what kind of emmisions you have on your car.

I think that is a fed pipe (curls up at the end to replace front precat) and you have a cali-spec car.
Cali is a nickname for lower emmissions (NLEV). Lots of cars in congested areas get them not just cali.
