On an NA (at least the couple I have measured) the in and out are just barely 2.25. The inlet side on the Y pipe just barely has enough meat that is 2.25 diameter to be able to weld on a new cat. AND make sure you weld it up on the car so you get the angle just right. Ask me how I know.

Probably not without some sort of adaptors on both ends of the cat.

And when I write that the in and out are just barely 2.25, I mean they are just barely, leaning toward smaller than 2.25.
