Borla axle back question

I've got a 2017 GT86, and I'm looking at the borla site for their axle backs.

They have two separate listings for 2013-2016 and 2017-2020.

The thing is I'm not seeing any specific measurements differences between the two. I thought they shared the same axle back setup for all the first gens?

The 17+ had a slightly different flange design at the midpipe to axleback connection.

If you have the 17 then order the 17 specific product/part #.

That makes sense, thanks for the information.

I have a 15 FR-S and ordered a Borla touring axleback to fit. It must have been for a 17+ as it wasn't perfect. I made a simple adapter plate and was good to go.
