It will fit but it looks stupid the tips on the exhaust just look out of place against the AP1 rear bumper

I know the rear hangers are different. I'm not sure if all AP2 or only 06+, but the hangers on the rear mufflers use 3 holes (triangle shape rubber piece because mufflers have dual prongs) instead of 2. There may be a minor difference how far the tips stick out, you can change the tips to AP1 if you think its a better look.

It will fit. You will need to use the AP1 tips to maintain the look, and the amount it sticks out from bumber is a little different. You will also probably need to use the AP1 rubber hangers. But it will bolt up and fit.

The resonator on 06+ is oval, instead of round, but it will still work. The AP2 hangers are stronger, since they have 2 braces instead of one, but the location is the same.

I have an 06, and PO hacked up the stock exhaust, so now I have an AP1 Cat and an older AP2 Cat back, and it all bolts up and works. Fitting a newer system to an older car will be just as easy.

[too bad you live out West. There's real nice AP-1 exhaust for sale on Craigslist Maine.
