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.

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.

if someone already done it...why are you reinventing the wheel?

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.
