Downpipe Install N20 not fitting.

Hey guys, I recently just got this ARM catless downpipe for the n20. What I have noticed is that the downpipe on the exhaust side i think is what you call it ? isn’t flat, there’s a v band clamp there as well. The problem is my downpipe is flat and doesn’t need the v band clamp on that side. I’ve watched other videos where others cars have a flat round pipe coming down from the exhaust side but mine has the band clamp bump so i wouldn’t be able to fit it. Any help would be great. Thanks !

You need a downpipe for a N26.

That’s weird because my car says n20 all around it in the engine bay 😭 do you have any ideas what could be the reason it looks like that on an n20?

These cars the exhaust systems are the same for f30 n20/n26 minus the flange for the midpipe. So someone might have stuck a n26 stock exhaust system on the car before selling it. Thats it.
