desertsubaru Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 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.

johnceggleston Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 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.

desertsubaru Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) 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, 2015 by desertsubaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertsubaru Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Flange is paper thin no saving it. Edited May 31, 2015 by desertsubaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
