Ok I bought a straight pipe to temporarily replace the cat converter. The measuring tape pics are the measurements of the gap from the missing cat. The pipe I bought is 18" long and the holes are 2 1/2". The gap under my truck where the cat used to be is 14 1/2 and the pipe hole is 2 1/2. Is the pipe I bought too long? And should I have gotten a size smaller hole to slide it in easily? Also I bought bolt clamps to clamp it down.

I need to cut the pipe? Is it too long? What about the holes is that enough to slide it in my exhaust pipes? And what adapters? The bolt down clamps won't work?

if the new pipe slides over the old you should be good. length and everything. if they are the exact same size you will need adapters

What are the bolts to the flange that connect the exhaust pipe and exhaust manifold? Couldn't I just pull 6 good ones from a newer car or truck at a salvage yard?

Do they have to be those exact bolts with the springs or just a bolt and nut ?
