The picture you linked to shows a few mid plates that are spot welded in place. It's a different design, that's why it's different.

In other words:not worth it.
Punch your buddy in the face for ripping you off,then get on Ebay and I'm sure for $30 you can find a sick ass JDM-as-fuck muffler.
He told me it was no good, but I threw him $20 anyways just to see if I can work with it and maybe get it working again.

I see now. Well, I'll look into it more and see if it's worth messing with or not.

It's getting thrown out because it's garbage.
