Magnaflow catback?

I'm curious. I just purchased a Magnaflow cat back 15759 and from the pictures online, it's showing a flange type connection after the muffler by the rear axle, like the factory and my old Thermal R&D it's replacing. The one I got today has a strange looking clamp instead of the flange. Is this correct? Did they change it or something?

Heres some pictures. I just want to know if this is a real magnaflow! It says Magnaflow on the tip and the muffler like the ones i've seen. Just there is no nice flange.
Heres the flangeless connection...

Also, should I have the exhaust welded on or just use the clamps?

Having it welded on would be better.

I heard that welding it on breaks the warranty, though. True?

No idea on the warranty... but I've never been a fan of clamps on exhaust components. They rust/break/slip too easily.

Yeah, I'm getting it welded. It should last the rest of the cars life.
Also, it's the real deal. I emailed Magnaflow and they said thats the new design. They did away with the flanges.
