Easier just to buy a Catco ($80.00 at summit) with the proper size. Use a sawsall to cut everything off, and stainless band clamps to put the new one on.

I've been running band clamps for 2 years on my current truck, grappler's been running them for 7... No probs! And they're still shiny!

I got mine through advance autoparts for 8 bux I believe...They are also available at summitracing.com

Here is a pic of my Catco universal cat with the band clamp connected to my original y-pipe. As you can see in these pics, the clamp actually molds itself to shape..And believe me, these puppies can crank down hard.
