Ok so I have a 90 240SX. I had a cat welded on by meineke. That cat for no apparent reason failed less than 10k miles later. So I cut the cat off.
I already have a 3in exhaust I'm going to put on that has flanges on it to my 3in test pipe for afr readings with my wideband then I'm going to put my 3in cat on there after setting everything up. The problem is the exhaust manifold was welded so now there is no flange on it.
I'm looking for a pipe that will fit on the stock exhaust manifold and clamp on with a flange on the end of it that will bolt up to my 3in test pipe/cat (pretty sure the same flange as stock). Anyone know where I can get something like this? I've looked but I can't seem to find it.
It's my daily driver so I really don't have anyway to go to a shop and get it right now. Preferably something I can order online. The pipe has to be like 4in long and slip on/tap on over the stock manifold pipe.
It's going to be temporary so I'm not concerned about it breaking or anything in 6months until I get the rest of my turbo parts together. That's why I don't want to waste money on a new welded on cat.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, that was my original plan but I only got one reply and they wanted me to drive to new york to pick it up. And 240 parts in junkyards are harder to find around here lately. Maybe I'll get a shop to weld a flange to a pipe if I can't find a part like that.

I had this problem all you need is the stock down pipe, (not the whole header just solely the little segment that splits off into two pipes coming down to one. It has three bolts you undo from the bottom of the car)

Or get a flange and have it welded on like you said.

P.S. 240s are getting hard to find anywhere contrary to popular belief they are easy to find and common cars.
I don't have a clue how in the world im gonna find certain coupe specific parts in a junkyard
