I'm sure this could be solved with big enough washers, but am wondering if anyone has a more elegant/less jerry-rigged solution.

I want to try out a muffler that's already welded to a 944 aft pipe (or whatever you call that tubing between the cat and the muffler). Problem is, it's a triangular 3-bolt flange and the mid pipe/resonator has an oval-shaped 2-bolt flange.

Any wisdom?

 

find another 944 3 bolt flange and replace the resonator one?
have an exhaust shop find a 2 bolt to match and swap it for the 3bolt?

 

I don't have another pipe lying around, if I come across one at wrench a part I'll grab it. I just wanted to see if there was a trick or good way to mate them up to see if I liked the sound (read: for free or really cheap).

If I like the new one, I'll bust out the grinder and hit up an exhaust shop.

 

Bring it up when you come visit Thursday, I'll weld it up for you.

I'm a little offended you didn't ask in the first place.

You don't like your current setup?

 

I like the setup, I just want to have a second option I can put up in a couple minutes. I'll bring it up with me
