Need help on Downpipe Install!!!

I tried attempting to install a downpipe for my 2022 m235i Gran coupe. Didn't got well because of the rusted and stuck on V-Band clamp bolt (Just gonna cut the bolt in half tomorrow. However before all of that happened I order one from PSRparts. They are out Finland and helped me out a lot. I got the new downpipe in and it's shaped out a 90 degree angle. Does anyone know if that will fit my car? Even on realoem.com it has the picture of the downpipe at a 90 degree but when I was underneath today it looked like mine was straight on and went through a heat shield. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of it but will update tomorrow when I cut off that Bolt and start taking the bottom of the car apart to gain access to the front V band clamp on the Turbo.

Also if anyone has any experience installing a downpipe for the F44 it would be greatly appreciated. I looked through some post and it looks like people are having a hard time finding a downpipe that isn't hella money. Or thinking it won't fit. I ordered this one and am just hoping this is it

I'll try to provide a picture of the new downpipe

Again I'm new here. Sorry for rambling but this car has become my passion project. Truly helping me smile day by day.

I got the 200 cell euro slip one. I wasn't able to put it on today due to the heat shield I ran into. Ironically got the Vband clamp off but gonna give it to a professional tomorrow.
