New catco cant find gasket help

[irondiezl3]

got the magnaflow high flow problem is its a 2.5 instead of stock 2.25 i cant find a dam gasket for it anywhere? any ideas?

Check local exhaust shops. Usually they have a part or know a trick of some sort.

now that i think about it none of this makes sense the direct fit magnaflow that connects to the manifold is 2.5 and the manifold is 2.25 the other end that connects to the exhaust is 2.25 and the exhaust im putting on is 2.5 what the heck its backwords

I have a Magnaflow converter and it's 2.5 throughout the whole thing. I have the Pacesetter exhaust (2.5) and it connected just fine.

thats wierd this magnaflow which is same part number as yours on the end where it has 02 sensor port it changes to 2.25 im assuming because they figured it would be connected to stock setup i just dont get how you connect a 2.5 to 2.25 without leaks

Since there's no pictures of stuff involved, I can only speculate on options.

Exhaust is custom in its nature. Cut and weld. Get a pipe size adapter if you like. And/or weld flat flanges on each, and put a 2.5" gasket between. Flat mating surfaces, flat gasket.

if you bring a cat to an exhaust shop and they say they cant make it work then i think you should go to another shop because when it comes to exhaust is it really just all custom work. you can even cut the flanges off and just straight weld the shit together.

all set shop in town did it for me. they found a gasket to make it fit. but its technically not a direct fit like magnaflow says. owell its on $79 later got all new gaskets and bolts, studs so im happy. gunna sell my factory one its still in great shape surprisingly if anyone needs it let me know dont want much for it
