What size exhaust pipe by catalytic converter?

Hey, does anyone know the outer diameter of the exhaust pipe that connects to the catalytic converter? I am replacing it with one from another Prius that was cut off and need to buy a sealing sleeve to connect the two cut pipes back together. I just need to know what size to buy.

Are you kidding me?? Lol. Yes, I can go out and grab my calipers, jack up my car, and measure it, but I live in an apartment and it would be a pain, so I though I would ask. I'm driving over to Oregon this weekend to pull one out of a wrecking yard and wanted to buy everything before making the trip and working on the car at my parents house. That way I could be back with the car running for the new week. You guys are seriously too paranoid.... Even if I was someone doing something shady, not getting answers from you guys wouldn't stop theft of a catalytic converter.... So, I guess if somehow you feel like you're saving the world by not helping me out, by all means, go ahead. I got a check engine light and replaced both O2 sensors and now know the cat is most likely plugged up at 180,000 miles.

Btw, just wanted to add. To cut a catalytic converter off of a car, you don't need to know what size the pipe is... a sawsall, chain cutter, grinder or any other methods of cutting pipe does not require knowing the pipe diameter to cut it off. Lol

No worries, but I'm still trying to find out what the outer diameter is so I can buy a slip joint of some sort to take with me. I just need to be able to connect the used one to my stock system after I cut mine off, anyone know the size? I have the stuff to check my exhaust in my storage unit, but it's a bit if a drive for me and I just moved, so everything is a mess and completely unorganized. It's strange that I can't find the answer, or find someone who knows on a car this old.... I come from dsm's and this kind of info is passed around to death.

Just a bummer because it's a small town with hardly anything as far as parts stores (rural oregon for ya). So I guess I'll probably end up leaving the car at my parents house for a week while I return to Boise and get the piece I need.

Well...... I guess I'm asking too much of you guys.... maybe I have to take a trip to oregon anyway? Maybe I can't work on my car where I live? Maybe my dad knows a guy at the salvage yard and I'm getting it for free? Maybe all I asked was what f**king size the exhaust diameter is so I can simply buy a small piece to join the two pipes together? Lol. Jesus. I used to wonder where the Prius stereotypes come from...

Hey guys, what size is the stock exhaust? It's really that simple. Why do I have to explain where I plan on getting another cat, or how far I'm driving, or how I'm taking it off or putting it on, or how much I pay, or whether I do the work during the day or night? Seriously, all I asked is the size of the stock exhaust, bunch of drama queens in here.

I'll just answer the question as to why I'm doing it the way I am. The guy already has one that was unbolted and then cut (just like the magnaflow replacement) I'm using a chain cutter and sleeve method which is almost just as easy as unbolting from the rear of the car. I've asked the guy to simply measure the outer diameter several times, but he's a flake and never responds. I never thought asking a simple question about the diameter of a pipe would be such a task.... damn. I really don't know why everyone needs specifics just to get a simple question answered. Either you know, or you don't, why all the other questions about why I'm doing what I'm doing? I need a catalytic converter replaced, no one needs to "help" me out in any other way besides answering the question I needed an answer to. I've already figured out how I'm replacing it, I don't need help in that department.

My wife and I are laughing our asses off at the fact that you actually took the time to go out in your garage and take a picture just to make sure I knew you could easily measure it, but choose not to just because you're butthurt about how I treated you. Lol. Snowflake much? I didn't know I was being so rude to you guys. I thought I was just asking a pretty simple question that maybe someone could answer, not get interrogated as to why I'm doing what I'm doing, how, where, and when, lol. You guys were claiming to "help" where help wasn't needed. But I guess I didn't realize your "feelers" were going to get that hurt while explaining i just simply needed the exhaust size, not advice about everything else. I never asked where to buy a replacement, how to replace it, where to cut it, etc etc etc. I hope you feel like a badass by taking that pic though...lol
