Burn baby burn.

Here we cut the division between the 3 inch part and 2.5 inch part of that pipe.

Another shot.

Then we move that 2.5 inch diameter piece that holds the O2 sensor back on to the resonator.

Lexmex

Now we see if the catalytic converter will fit.

Lexmex

Not quite, so we have to chop off some of the edges of the catalytic converter's piping.

Lexmex

A closer look.

Lexmex

And we trim off just a bit more on the O2 sensor section of piping.

Lexmex

We took off the coupler section so we could independently attach it to the catalytic converter (basically so they are straight and not crooked at the the junction).

For some reason this looks like some type of model spaceship that's been through hell.

Lexmex

Now there is a gap here, but this okay as this is planned. Reason being is that we want to put in here a separate piece to provide some more strength so that nothing gets weakened in this area in the future. I actually use a similar principle later in an adaption of an old intake piece that I will show later.

Lexmex

This is what was the result although not yet fully welded.

Lexmex

Now, I am going to move up several pictures to show the hook/hanger we had to modify so that it could reach on to the front of the catalytic converter.

Lexmex

And here's another view.

Now the last 3 shots of the final piece.
