Mazda Protege 1999 1.6L LX
So I am trying to install a MSP exhaust on my 99 protege lx. I took the old axle back off and was about to take off the midpipe when I noticed that the MSP midpipe is a few feet shorter than my midpipe. What am I missing here? Does the MSP have a longer J-pipe or something? Is there another pipe I need?

Here are some pics I took so you can try and see what I am talking about. Could someone post a pic of the MSP exhaust setup?

I didn't know the 99 and 02-03 were the same I thought just those two yrs.
 
It looks like the exhaust is different on the 1.6 than the 2.0. Yours looks like one piece from the j-pipe to the axle back. the 2.0 has 2 pieces from the j-pipe to the axle back

What piece am I missing? When I got it off the forum everyone said they thought it would fit, and the pipes take the same path. Does the MSP have a second cat that goes there or something?
 
you're missing the peice that goes from the DP to the Midpipe that has the Cats on it...
