Default need a new cat but got a question on size

i have an espelier cat back and DC header. the piping on the cat back's 60mm --> 2.36in. but all the high flow cats are either 2.25in or 2.5in in/out...i'm confused as to which size would fit. thanks

I would suggest going with the 2.25" cat. Keep in mind that cats are measured using inner diameter, while exhausts are measured using outer diameter, so a 2.25" cat is approximately 60mm (2.36") OD, depending upon the tubing thickness.

Virtually any size will fit if the correct flanges are welded to it.

Contact Dave at SMSP. He has had flow-testing done on a number of different cats, and he continually revises his offerings to provide the best in terms of durability and flow rate.
