well, it's an ix block, so hopefully the IMS is an iX as well. I know the gear goes the other way.

Ok, so the car has been having a shitty time passing the sniffer. I fail idle emissions, but revved-up emissions is totally fine. I've gone through basically everything else, so I'm tossing a cat on it. Have ordered a weld-in magnaflow and a variety of related shiny metal bits.
Aiming to have it going before ski season this year.

I need to get under the car again tonight briefly. I will take some pictures then.

I think I'm keeping more of the 2x2" run than you did, but I want to keep the stock catback boltable to it.

first there was tube
then i cut it into bits and stuff
this was a pain in the dick to close up but I figured it out
overall it came out pretty reasonable, fits into less space than the original cat, and almost doesn't even have an exhaust leak!
then I got it smogged, passed with flying colors. one step closer to reg.
celebratory unfurling of its wings:
