Catalytic converter question?

So I failed a smog test the other day and turns out my aftermarket cat the was on my truck is no good , so I scored an oem cat for my truck today and it came with flanges on each end of it.
Problem thou my cat. That is on there now is aftermarket and doesn't have flanges on it , it's just welded on , would any decent muffler shop be able to weld up some flanges to match the cat. ? Any idea on the cost for this luxury? I thought about cutting the flanges off the new oem cat but doesn't look like there will be any room to weld to it Any advice would be great thanks. I have a 2 1/4 custom exhuast with Doug thorley headers and a magnaflow muffler 18 inch so not to load.

LCengineering sells flanges.

http://www.lceperformance.com/2-Bolt...-p/9010030.htm

should be around $40 to get them welded on.

If your're not picky about having Toyota flanges most exhaust shops have univeral ones they can weld on.
