I just bought this Flowmaster Exhaust for my DX Hatchback. I thought that it was the same pipe diameter as stock but it wasn't. The Flowmaster is 2".

Is there anyway I can mate these two flanges up at the axle without some custom fabrication? Or will I have to take it to a muffler shop?

have you tried bolting it up yet?

 

Nope... the bolts are rusted up as hell so if I'm gonna work on it... I want to bang it out in one shot hopefully without any hiccups. I hope someone my have some experience to share.

 

You can always get reducers at muffler shop.

I was expecting a straight up bolt-up... So are you saying I will need a reducer to be welded on?

 

is this just an axle back? or a cat back? either way it should be able to just bolt up

 

Discount/Advanced Autoparts and Autozone (both general autoparts stores in SE US) carry standard size reducers in some fashion or another. If you got a chain store like that in your area check out their exhaust section and see if they have anything like you're looking for to do a reduction in diameter.

 

Looking at the picture, it's an axle back exhaust. Why won't it just bolt up?

 

It does just bolt up. I put one on someone else's car awhile ago

 

go try it before you post questions... it WILL bolt on.
