420A Need some exhaust advice

[drosales99]

Ok so I found some headers for my 420a 99 eclipse but I have about an inch of a gap from the pipe to my cat. Would it be ok to fab a spacer instead of having to go thru the hassle of welding n extension ?!? Also I just picked up some rear stabilizer bars but I don't know where the lower 1 goes!!!!

Spacer should be fine though I'd think it would be cheaper/easier to just weld pipe. You could also look for pipe that has the same inner diameter as your exhausts outter diameter and use it to bridge the gap. You'd have to get some U clamps to tighten down both ends, but it's another option to consider.

I have a big company that would have the materials to make the spacer and gaskets. I just wanted to get 2nd opinion on thanx

oops I ment I work for a big company hahaha

Yea just fab up a spacer if you have the materials to do it

mine had about that same amount of gap, but I just pulled it together with a big C clamp and bolted it up. no problems so far.
