    My catalytic converter was stolen.
    I wasn't paying attention, and just bought a new cat. Does anyone know where I can get the exhaust flange that goes from the headers to the cat. Thanks

    I should add; I have a full machine shop at my disposal, so even if someone can just give me dimensions, that would be fine

    There should be plenty of this stuff at car dumps and auto dismantlers.
    Catalysts are cut out, and exhaust pipes are of no use to anyone and are free.

    Does your question mean the thieves cut through the exhaust manifold to steal the cats?

    The gen 3 front exhaust pipe starts at that flange, and has (in order) two catalytic converters, an exhaust heat recovery exchanger, and a resonator. Which parts of yours are gone?

    They cut just in front of the heat exchange and unbolted the flange

    If your in Long Beach Ca; it needs to be a Ca compliant CAT. Only two manufacturer's I know of supplies that, other than the dealer. You will not pass your next smog inspection.
    You'll need to either fix the car correctly or sell it in Nevada, because it will no longer be Ca smog compliant.

    Just saying..... Do whatever you want..... Good Luck.

    Besides the Toyota dealer, there is only Magnaflow.

    Those ARE the only two allowed, there is no other party with CARB compliance.
