I just bought new edelbrock headers with a 3 inche y pipe, I need a new catalytic converter that is 3inches in and 3inches out, and it has to be one that bolts one. I cant find one like this any where, do you guys have any tips?

Check Summit for A Catco Cat, 3" in and out with a bolt on flange may be hard to find. Why won't a slip fit one work???

I honestly don't know that much about exhausts, im just guessing that it will not work, but how could i just slip it in, what would hold it there?

Just use clamps or weld it.

Summit does have one. Its a 3" in/out direct fit, part CTO-9118. I just bought one. Only one side has the flange, just like the stock one.

I've never seen a cat that has flanges on both sides. I was once looking for the same thing.

cat converter

If you have a high output 5.0 4 bolt cat then dynomax makes one because I bought one along time ago. I think others make them too so they shouldn't be too hard to find. Good luck
