[QUOTE=KKOG;10488770]Here is my solution.

My car also had rotted out flanges to the cats. Too much rot to be able to seal well against the cats even with new gaskets.
Had to change these flanges and chose 2,5" v-band clamps.

It is only the middle and rear section of the oem exhaust that is made from stainless.

I also cleaned the exhaust and painted the exhaust tips black again as stock.

WOW! that is very good quality welds and craftsmanship! The V-band clamps are also a nice touch. I like how he made the angle cut just like factory.
