Do I have the correct pacesetter y pipe? (pic)

I purchased a set of pacesetter "race" style for my 2002 Formula and I need to know how this y-pipe goes together. These header/y pipe were new, but I bought them 3rd hand and I have no packaging or anything like that. I have been looking around online and all the pictures look much different than my y-pipe. I have 4 pieces: the Y, two long bent pieces, and a smaller curved piece. Mine does not have any spots that are "crushed" like my lt1 pacesetter y pipe had.

Here is a picture of what I have in what I think may be the correct way to piece it together.

I want to make sure I have everything I need before I start on this. I told myself I would never do another set of 4th gen headers...but here I am again. Least its not on another lt1

::edit:: Just realized I posted this under my brothers SN...oh well.

Looks like a first version of the tsp Y to me.

That's the one. Thanks.

I hope it works ok, because I guess I am going to install it all tonight. FWIW I got everything (including o2 extensions) for 200$ and it is all new

2.5 hours in on the install and we got all the plugs out, all the wires off, the y pipe disconnected and the drivers side header in and everything on that side installed.

If that's an earlier version TSP Ypipe, good luck getting it to slip over the headers (if they're coated).

They aren't coated and I did get them to slip on some without them attached to anything. I probably won't have the car for another year so I see no reason to buy coated headers.

Is there a reason someone would have chosen the TSP y-pipe over the pacesetter?
