10 foot section of 2.5 inch pipe and a few 180 degree 2.5 inch mandrel bends should get the job done... best way is to measure though.

If your asking this you should probably leave it to a professional...

Just because you're in skool to be a tech doesn't mean you know what you're doing.

Nissan dealer mechanics from all over the country call me several times a week asking how to fix stuff on these cars.. I'm not "trained" yet these tech are and they're calling me. Hmmmm.

WSP makes a nice B pipe that you connect from the cat to the muffler. then pick up a muffler of your choice and slap it in w/ some hangers.

they make it in 2.5 and 3.0 dia.

in my previous statement i said 10 feet of pipe. that's probably not enough. you might possible need 15-20 total... but i could be wrong. i'm doing mine once i get my new turbo but that'll be near the end of the month.
