What exhaust are you trying to fit?  New? Second hand?

Most systems come with an adaptor sleeve which slides over the existing exhaust  :smiley:

Got a tape measure?  Measure your new system, measure the old system, measure the adaptor sleeve and do some maths  :tongue: :smiley:

You need a Photobucket account; upload your pics to that and then copy and paste the 4TH LINE of text under the photo into your reply  :nerd:

Stock exhaust is single piece with mid silencer and ends before the cat. Why they did this I will never know, it makes it easier I imagine in a factory environment. I remember chopping my mid silencer to bypass it with the TDI pipe.
