Because the centre hanger was rotated by 180 degrees.

TSL supplied a pair of brackets for my Group N system, one for New-Age, the other for the classic.

There is 100mm difference in length between a newage and classic exhaust system.

The difference in length is usually in the down-pipe though, the systems are the same length are they not. The main difference from the cat back is as Dunx says, the hangers

i used a full turbo back newage exhaust system on my classic, but kept the ppp backbox, the bracket that bolts to the back of the gearbox is different- so i modified a newage ppp decat pipe to make it fit. its still laying in my shed lol
