Well, luckily, my brother just got the $200 one, so I'll take a pic of the flange on it, and then a shot of mine installed. I'm about to go to work, but I'll be home around 6pm eastern time, so look for pics a little after that.

i instaled mine over the weekend. i had the square 4 bolt flange cat kit from hooker. i just measured 4 inches back from the flange, and cut it off. its close enough to a circle there to use the adapters to make it slip fit, then just clamp it!

2 1/4??????? heck naw, if im under a car doing exhaust, im not leaving ANY stock crap down there. iv got a 2 1/2 y pipe from my headers, then i put the 2 1/2 ID to 3 od....put a cut out, then put a 3 inch test pipe for my cat then a 3 to 3 adapter to connect it all, then clamped everything. i have one leak cause the clamp broke. i dont need a cat till febuary, so till then the cut out is my cat. i jsut did a driveway install.



sorry if thats complicated!

but if you want to run no cat for now.. measure 4 inches back from the flange, cut it striaght. then go get about 2 feet of pipe the size you want, and some clamps and addapters. when you cut that flange of, its gonna look like a circle, but in reality its not a perfect circle. your just gonna have to bend the adapter a tid bit for it to slip on it good, then clamp it....kind of ghetto, but hell it works
