Exhaust system compatability HELP PLEASE!

[BIGGSIE]

This is what I have:
Apexi n1 racing down pipe
AHP 3" cat back
I can not get these to bolt up with eachother. I am told that 1G AWD's stock systems have offset flanges for the cat. My APEXI DP will totaly eliminate the cat. So I figured the cat back would just bolt up to the down pipe with no cat. Not the case, My DP flange is straight and my Cat-back flange is at a 45 degree offset, this is one problem. The other problem is that the DP seems too long, it pushes the tip and muffler back too far. Has anyone ever tried to use an APEXI DP with another cat-back? Or vise versa?? Please help, I am very anxious to get this system set up.

I'm thinking about doing this also, I have 3" custom cat-back with magnaflow muffler....I'm sure if you bring it to a exhaust shop they will be able to do something for you for cheap....

Also you have a 3" apexi DP and are you putting it to your stock 02?

Yes I am bolting it to my stock o2 housing for now it fits fine. I will port the housing eventually.

Yeah cool bc I heard different things about it fitting right, mines porting so I should be fine, but yeah an exhaust shop should be able to fit it right...
