Axle back exhausts are the same for both RWD and AWD. Aftermarket midpipes are not made for AWD models.

I've heard of them having a few fitting issues.

please take a picture of your m2 exhaust and flange for us. Maybe it was damaged. Shop can probably just whack it back into shape.

But I know it wasn't bent because the stock flange and the m2 flange didn't fit

It's usually a straight bolt on, we're worried that your M2 was damaged before it reached you.

I saw his exhaust in person and it was not damaged. He went to the same shop that I went to to get it installed and they told him that it doesn't fit on but they did mine just fine.

Finally got it put on! The owner of the garage thought it would leak, but I told him to try and he did it !
