Hey,
Just obtained these items recently. Everything is all good until i randomly tried to piece them together to see how they'd fit. Problem is... they don't? The three screw bits from the itr cat doesn't align with the three holes in the mugen twinloop catback. It's not by much, but not fit is no fit.

Question is would an exhaust shop be able to fix this easy? Is there anything I should be worried about?

Just a few pix so u can see that they're only slightly off

ditto!
jdm cats should bolt on to jdm catbacks and jdm headers
flanges should be 2.5"

measure from centre to centre , but they should match up exaclty like others said , your exhaust place should be able to fix by re lining the flanges by cutting and re welding back on so they can both match up correctly
should cost around $80
hope this helps

it looks like your triangle flange doesnt line up
but it should .....perfect
it mite be a civic cat( which is the same size as jdm itr cat ) but some one has put a 2.5" flange on the end instead?
civic cats have a different smaller triangle flange to jdm ones(larger)
are u sure the mugen cat back is for a dc2? just checking

i fitted a mugen dc2r twin loop with 2.5" cat and 5 zigen headers to a dc2 vtir and had no problems
