What do you mean by "flange"? Your header should have a flange (at the output end) and your cat should have a similar flange. If your header is JDM - it won't have a 2.5" flange - it will be 60mm or so. You then would have to modify the flange on the cat to match.

go to pep boys and take your header with you and find a flange there that looks the same. your exhaust shop will weld that onto the new cat.

or a decently equipped exhaust shop will be able to supply you with all the stuff.

you'll also need a donut gasket from an early '90s legend if you have a 2.5" collector header... honda has them.

or talk to smsp on this board for these parts...

I have an extra JDM hondaparts 2.5" donut gasket I'll part with cheap. E-mail me if you're interested ( g2guru@hotmail.com ). You will need the donut gasket and the 2.5" flange.

Did you get a weld in cat or a bolt in? Like Big Phat R said you should have everything you need.

I got the same thing, you will need the donut gasket but i could not find a single muffler shope or auto parts store that had one big enough. Hopefully godspeed should send me back my *shortened* testpipe soon and i can finally try out this new header!

someone asked for price $364 for DC JDM 4-1 SS... from options auto i think..... but they're on back order everywhere i was told. I got mine dropshipped by DC and they told me they only had a few left.
