I had the same problem I took it to the nearest muffler shop and had it welded.

I had to weld about 3" of pip in to take up the gap. It is a bad fit.

Hi Greg, I'll be glad to assist you. No, it does not. There's a split near the hangers. It will be secured by the included clamps. You can use the link below to order the assembly while it's still on sale. Have a great one! https://www.carparts.com/catalytic-converter/evan-fischer/rt96030003?can=cpab2020_20220316

No, the curvy pipe at one end separates and then there's another slip joint between two of the fatter sections. If you blow up the image you can see the joints. The connections between the front two components of the catalytic converter are welded. You'll need to get a new O2 sensor also and here's how to reinstall that. I drove mine with the plastic plug in there and it melted and blew out in the first 6 seconds of driving. It sounds like the whole exhuast is disconnected when that happens, so do the sensor replacement at the same time.

This comes in 3 prices. Plan on having to get this welded or using a putty or wrap to seal the joints as you will not be able to tighten the clamps enough to compress the pipe to seal the joints.

NO is Not! will require some welding, though states just clamp together...

Mine came in 4 pieces with clamps and gaskets

My install was on Prius in WA state, no emissions test requirements. Donut ring was not a good fit, so used original part left behind by theives. Caution with EMC reading after market cat may still continue to throw codes. One option seen online is install/modify spark foul arrester where o2 sensor enters exhaust. A $10 fix but in some states may be deemed to tamper with emissions testing.

It worked in Illinois!!

Image is correct. Be aware the fit at manifold is key. Mechanic highly recommended using as much of OEM parts so he weled in the converter. In hindsight since mine was stolen that's all I needed and used. I'll sell you the remaining exhaust for $75 plus shipping.

The image is correct…. No welding necessary. The pipe has a catalytic converter and two resonators that bolt up to the rear muffler. I used muffler putty in the joint to prevent exhaust leaks.
