thats why i never buy anything unless i can see it, feel it, smell it..u and others keep buying stuff online and the story keeps repeating itself..enough of this..chances are this guy got the wrong cat., just like u..just try reselling it to someone else..but, be honest with the new buyer

you cant measure a throttle body with a ruler. they always look larger or smaller speneding on the side you measure.

I have a 2.5" cat but it has 2" flanges on it. I guess this is so it flows better but works with the majority of configurations.
