Wrong De-Cat?

Wrong De-Cat?
Purchased a De-Cat for my MY94 WRX today. I have been onto ebay this afternoon and a subaru 'specialist' is selling de-cats on there and says that for the classic it must have a completely open neck as per the picture:-
It says that if the neck only has a round hole in the neck as oppose to the oblong one in the picture then it is off a sport rather than a turbo and will not be very effective. Is this true or just salesmanship? I'm anxious as mine only has the round hole and i want to make sure it will work before fitting it.
Any ideas?

Getting it fitted saturday, can't wait.
