Exhaust diameters and joining and things

[Ben]

Right guys i've ordered a 2.5inch 90degree bend to replace my exhaust elbow and a flexi to go onto that but now i need a piece that goes onto the flexi to join to my current downpipe, im pretty sure its just stock de cat pipe, but i cant get under to measure it. My plan is to get one of the connectors i have linked below but ask for it to be a welded join one side to join to my flexi then the other side a clamp on fitting to secure to my original downpipe after i chop a bit off. But i dont know what size to ask for with this clamp on connector, anyone help? Or even suggest a better idea if you have one? Cheers

I'm going to be doing this soon, just wondering what thickness pipe you went for, and what material its made from? I don't know how thick it would need to be to be sufficiently welded to the adaptor plate..
