It slides right onto the Hooker 2055's y-pipe, and has a flange to bolt up to an I-pipe. Hope this helps!

The wide mouth cat uses oval pipe......it has a four bolt flange on both ends........the rear pipe goes into round,but the front is oval all the way from the passenger side dump into the y pipe.I guess I could cut off about a foot of it and you could use an expander to make it round / heat and a vise.Let me know eather way I could remove it tonight and have it shipped in the morning.How does $35 shipped sound?My paypal is mike0679@gmail.com
Thanks,
Mike

Sounds like a 'Vette' or an L69 cat. Believe it or not, the L69 is bigger. Here's the oval section of the Y with the four-bolt flange:
