Default magnaflow cat back question - please help.

I'm new to LS1tech and don't know much about exhaust so here is the question:
I ordered a maganflow cat back (part# 15684) for my '02 LS1 Z28.
The picture I saw of the cat back shows that there is a bend on the intermediate pipe where it bolts on to the Y-pipe. However, by looking under my car, the intermediate pipe is straight all the way to the Y-pipe. So, the question is how can it be a simple bolt on installation?
I've read all the posts you guys have written regarding the installation process and it seems to be quite simple. I appreciate any help.

Thank for the quick reply FAST/ A LOVER.
It seems like everyone that sells the magnaflow uses the same picture. That's what I thought since no one here ever mentioned this discrepency.
I'm sure you're right thanks.

For anyone interested, I bought this brand new on Ebay for $330 shipped. The company still has one on Ebay right now. Item #33630.
