May 31, 201510 yr 2003 Forester Ok here the situation, The flange on the back of the second cat that hooks to the intermediate pipe is a rusted beyond repair but the two inches of pipe from the rear cat is in great shape but the skeleton of the flange only gives about 3/4 of on inch to weld a pipe over it. Not enough IMO. My question is could a shop expand that pipe then slip a pipe inside then weld it in with out damage to the cat? I would hate to have to buy both cats.
May 31, 201510 yr just have them weld in a piece of pipe. it doesn't even need to flex. a locally owned muffler shop is probably better than a national chain. i had a ''flex joint '' pipe welded in my 98 for $150. i spent too much.
May 31, 201510 yr Author I have a local shop that will do a cat back in 2 inch including muffler for $100. I will take pics of what I am taking about. Edited May 31, 201510 yr by desertsubaru
