Default Need info/help with TPIS headers

I just got my TPIS Headers and I got a killer deal on them. However there is not hardware except for the gaskets. I need to know if I can run these with stock cats using clamps or if I need to get the Random Tech cats in order to match the ends up? The ends of the headers are 2 7/8 or 3 inches.........I really cant tell exactly. Anyway anyone running these with stock cats? Is it possible without having to weld them in? Just need to know what is the best way to go?

Thanks for the help in advance :yesnod: :flag

Cajun...should have bought mine:)

The collector is 2 7/8"

What I did, is weld a flange on the header and also weld a flange to your exsisting h-pipe. The all you have to do is bolt them up.

There is no hardware that would make it work. The stock stuff would have to be cut no matter what!

I bought magnaflow high flow 3" round cats and was able to weld them together by a muffler shop. These cats are 30$ each from Ebay.
