Default MadDad V2 one-piece vs. two-piece?

I am looking to get a V2 downpipe with the Whisper 3" catback and I had a
question regarding the downpipes. I read that the one piece had the advantage of coming with a turbo to downpipe gasket as well as an auxiliary wideband 02
sensor. When I read the description of the two-piece version, it also said that
there was an easily accessible bung for an 02 sensor as well as a turbo to
downpipe gasket included at no extra charge. In the pictures, it looked like the two piece did not have an easily accessible bung for the O2 sensor.... but maybe the picture just wasn't updated. So my question is: is the separable mid-pipe the only difference between the one piece and two piece now? Thanks in advance for any help.

Yep, the only difference is an extra joint in there. I had the MadDad shorty, and it did come with gaskets, as well as an O2 bung right by the turbine outlet. I now run the MadDad catted midpipe with a Crucial DP because it allows me to swap a catless pipe in if I so desire, and the coated DP stays a LOT cooler than a bare pipe with a cat in it.

Is it the Bellmouth or the Divorced DP Shorty?

I was talking about the divorced setup, I haven't had any experience with the bellmouth DP.

Thanks...

Is there any way of contacting them besides E-mail? they never replied to my E-mail. Perhaps a phone number? a Member on nasioc?

Rich has always been responsive when I tried to get in touch with him. He takes a couple days some times as he is a busy guy. His user name here is Daddy's SCP

The photo of the two-piece on the website is slightly out of date. The two piece setup is just like the one-piece in terms of having the extra 02 bung up top(this is an update from what is shown in the online photo). A turbo to dp gaskets in included. Phone # is 978-401-04624.

Rich- "The savings associated with the elimination of extra labor and production of the two piece design allowed us to add an auxiliary 02 sensor optimized for wideband/precision tuning"

I read that (as did the OP, it seems) as the one-piece DP includes a wideband O2 sensor, not just the bung Thanks for clarifying that, it had me a bit confused.
