what size pipe is it? will it slip over the existing pipe, or will you need to have it butt welded.

The ends of the cutout are 3" I think. So it will slip right over. It came with clamps so I dont have to weld it on

you might need some 3 inch to 2 1/2 inch reducers to get that to work. i dont see crushing down the pipe to 2 1/2 inch sealing well. i'm sure autozone or some place like that will have them.
