Can someone with a Gen 2 1997 take a picture of the catalytic converter as wide as you can to get as much of the exhaust system as possible, and measure the length of the catalytic converter from one flange to the other.
I have a 99 and I would like to know if this bolt in option for a catalytic converter replacement will work comma even though it's for a 97. The 97 and 99 both have the same single overhead cam engine and I would also like to think they have the same exhaust system layout.
If this 97 option doesn't work I may have to go with a universal and weld and slash or pack up my existing exhaust to make the universal one work.

One concerned with the bolt in option is that my actual catalytic converter that I pulled out of my 99 has the opposite flange on the engine side compared to the picture above. You can see in my attachments that my 99 catalytic converter has the studs, whereas the for the 97 bolt in option contains the plate that the studs go through.
