will exhaust from a 2000 estate fit my 51 plate estate

Got an exhaust offered to me. As above its from a 2000 and mines a 51. I'm assuming pre and post facelift the exhaust is the same.... Is this correct?

Re: coolant temp issue

Problem solved today. Whipped out the new stat and a small bit of plastic from the pipe that sits over the stat had come off and blocked the stat. Took it out. Put it back together. Problem solved.
