"universal" is fine as longas it is cali certified.
Do you see the links at the bottom of magnaflows page:
The Official Site of MagnaFlow Exhaust Products - Exhaust Systems For Trucks, Suv's, American Muscle, Diesel, & Sport Compact Vehicles
All the cali cerifed FOR YOUR SPECIFIC CAR on that page would be "legal" to use. The term universal fit just means it has no flanges so the installation would require some sort of welding.
For the most part magnaflow would have a cali certified universal and a bolt on for most cars. So either one would work.
OP, as long as your mechnic friend is ok welding on exhaust, either one will work just fine. The are the same core. The bolt on just have the proper flanges to directly bolt on to your car as the original one did.
