What's the difference between the exhaust for V70 and V70XC

I think I am getting to the root question I have:

What is the actual difference between the exhaust manifold and flex pipe for the V70 (NA) and the V70XC AWD with Turbo?

Completely different system and of course it goes out the other side

I guess you are trying to figure out about the flex joint. Everything in front and behind the flex joint is different on the two. I have not laid the two next to each other to see if the flex joint itself is the same and could be taken off the N/A pipe and welded into the turbo one.
I do know that exhaust shops have flex joints as spare parts they weld into systems. The flex joints fail and for many older FWD cars the OEM piece is not available so they have to splice in the flex joint to keep the car on the road.
