Default exhaust flange doesn't line up

Hi,

Just swapped a B18B into a '94 del sol. The exhaust flange doesn't line up exactly to my stock exhaust system (exhaust pipe right before the CAT Conv). What do you recommend I should do? Thanks!

lemme guess. the motors exhaust bolt pattern is like \ while the stock exhausts bolt pattern is like /. i had that problem. i just clamped the two pipes together with a clamp and then drove to the exhaust shop.

or if you could always hack job it like... so.

Yep,

the bolt pattern is like that. how much did you pay to cut off one flange and align it? Which flange did you cut? thanks

i ended up gettin an entirely new exhaust. but yeah it shouldnt be more tehn 10 bucks or so. all you have to do is cut one flange off, rebolt it on and then weld it back on to the pipe. easy as cake.
