Default Borla Adjustable

Hey all,
I am getting a Borla adjustable for a 98 TA. I was just wondering if anyone knew the best way to join it to the 2.5" y-pipe. I understand the Borla is 3", so there is a slight problem there.

I am thinking welding a reducer on is not the way to go, as the reducers are carbon steel and the y pipe I have is ceramic coated and the Borla is 304 SS. I am guessing the weld wouldn't last, but has anyone tried this??

Other option is to slot the reducer and make it a slip on, then band it at both ends. Just wnated to know what others have done in the past, thanks

The Borla will go on without any modifications needed.

Son of a bitch, I just spent $90 in reducers and clamps.
