Weistec Downpipes Fitment Issue

Guys,

Would anyone know whether the Dowpipes for the C43 AMG (M276) are different for a Left Hand Drive vs a Right Hand Drive Car?
Waited forever to get my hands on Weistec Down Pipes for the C43 AMG (M276 - Right Hand Drive - Specifically mentioned this at the time of ordering) when I finally have them, one of the Downpipe is interfering with the Steering Rod (Picture attached).
I have written to Weistec (Sales) but have been asked to write to Weistec (Tech). Getting a bit irritated & impatient now because I don’t know how long will I have to wait for them to respond.

of course they are different, like you've mentioned the brake booster, etc. and steering column are on the opposite side, which in turn makes one side of the engine more crowded than the other, inherently.

Well, isn’t it obvious that if the steering column etc are on the other side, there will be a fitment issue on that side as well.

Just checked my emails (Inbox & spam), but nothing from Tech yet.

LHD down pipes will not fit on a RHD car.

@Shardul - Thank you for your response. I am yet waiting to hear from Weistec. Wondering what’s taking so long for them to respond.
