I bought my 240 hatch a couple of months back and noticed that it has had the catalytic converter replaced a while ago. Since then, i've been waiting to change out parts and upgrade. The replacement was fitted by cutting off the header and exhaust flanges. Not having a stock cat to go on, i'd like to ask if there is anyone who can answer a few questions on the dimensions of the cat:

1. What is the length from flange to flange?

2. Does either end have any bends in the pipe?

3. Isn't it two bolts at the header and three bolts at the exhaust?

Thanks for the interest and for any help with getting me towards some horsepower gains.
