Hello,

Thank you for the Donation....


I believe it is a welded unit and you will either need to replace the whole section or you can get a universal Cat and cut out the old one and pu in the new one, however, you may need some extra pipe (reducers). I would also take a few measurements of old one and get measuement of new one before cuting out old one.
