Catalytic Converter Install going wrong . . .
I got a 50 state approved direct fit catalytic converter (catco I think)
Bolts up properly to the exhaust manifold
But is not a snug fit to the y-pipe like the stock unit
It is a half inch short from fitting snug into the flange in the y-pipe.
The stock was snug, just needed to be tightened.
Now what?

Just decided to tighten the clamps.
Seems like there are no leaks after a 25 mile ride.
Just I be concerned about having to tighten the 1/4 space to make the flange tight as the stock was snug without any free space before tightening
