Will NOT fit OEM Catalytic Converter Requires 3" Flat-Flange

[pagahagan]

Hey guys so I do apologize if this question has been answered numorous times but I am trying to replace my exhaust and catalytic converter, I have ordered the 3" megan found here ( Megan Racing Catback Exhaust DSM - Modern Automotive Performance ) and it says on it that it will not line up with oem catalytic converter. That it needs a 3" flange. Does anybody know a catalytic converter that will work?
I would appreciate any help
Oh and I have a 97 Eclipse Spyder GS-t

When I bought my Megan exhaust I got a reducer flange to mate the catback with the stock cat. I never used it, PM me if you want it.

Do you really want a cat or are you willing to go to a test pipe?

I do want to keep a cat in there, if not at least high flow because I do have to take emissions. The stock cat is still on there but considering the amount of rust in the rest of the exhaust, I am assuming I will have to replace it.

High Flow converter

Does that cat have a 3" flange? It doesnt say anything about it whatsoever.

Normally, you buy the cat and flanges separate, then find someone to weld it. I have a couple 3in 3-bolt style flanges and a gasket if i remember right, pm me if they'll work for you.

Unfortunately some of us are blessed with inspectors that say otherwise, I have the same problem. I have an Apexi GT DP that I need to replace with a short DP (from ebay) and some catalytic converter with 3 inch flanges on both sides, I know RRE makes a kit for this but the cat is 190 bucks and the Dp is 230. I guess if worst comes to worst we can just get the ebay DP and the RRE cat.

hmm that is strange that the guy that started the thread about getting a catless exhaust got his car inspected in my area and I could not. In fact the inspector red_devil told me he goes to is the one that failed me.

Haha sorry for your troubles bro. I dont know why he is failing you. You may just have to go to another shop. Some places fail for random things others dont if you have nitrous WTF

Maybe you're not paying enough MONEY $$$$$ to have it inspected!

Ha I pay what he asks, maybe thats the key! Oh and I am in no way calling you out Mark
