Default Tpis Header H-Adapter needed..help

I want to remove my cats but the cats are welded to the H adapter that gives the headers that neat slip fit. I will need another one if I am going to be able to do the job neatly and correctly. Do they sell just that part?

Chuck,
Here is what I would do. Pull the Longtubes out and have flanges welded on the backside of the headers. Buy 3' of 2.5" pipe and have each end flared out to 2.75". Have a muffler shop weld the flanges on the headers, pipes you flared and cut to length. They do need to be sligthly angled but its not a big problem. You will also need o2 bungs welded on the backside of the cat eliminators. I did this on my 99' but I chose to use 360deg band clamps. I am in the process of making them a bolt in and out installation. You can also add flanges to your H adapter on your cat pipe and have both a bolt in installation. I think TPIS missed the boat on the header by not adding flanges on the rear section. Good Luck. :cheers:
