Piece of 55mm dia pipe, hammer, heat... Beat the end down until it fits the 50mm section and then weld.
Easier to do if you can get a former into the 55mm pipe, beat the pipe onto that and then more importantly get it out after... But do-able without.

Re: Thievery Is Afoot
Reading everyone's comments is very reassuring, but something has come to mind.
Not having a catalytic on the exhaust system is an instant fail on an MOT, right? As I am due one soon  Unless there's something about the 2.8's exhaust system I'm unaware of. ?  
Re: Thievery Is Afoot
I dont think not having the cat is illegal. You can get a cat bypass kit. Although most people, will refit the cat come mot time.
My v6 is on Gas, & as the mot should be tested as presented, then if its running on gas it should be tested on gas. I know, i wouldnt have any emmisions issues, therefore if my cat goes i wont be in a hurry to shell out for new ones. i would probably just put on a straight pipe & do away with it. I had a Porsche turbo before my black V6, i spent a few quid getting it tuned to the moon. I completely removed the cat. It was always run on Super unleaded. Come mot week i would add injection cleaner, then an octane booster the night before, & take it for a thrash 20mins before. when i turned up @ station ,the car was roasting hot. Never ever was picked up for any emmisions or lack of cats. There are a few tricks out there. You pays your money & take your chances  
Re: Thievery Is Afoot
2.8 doesnt have a cat, just a particulate filter...there is no reason why it needs one for mot.

Re: Thievery Is Afoot
Whats one of those??? Truck lost that years ago when the birds nest and other 'spare' bits were removed. No problems with emissions on any MoT it's been in for. O-no's one will be headed for the bin as well once I gets round to cutting the pipe up and making a section to replace it.

Re: Thievery Is Afoot
If a car has a CAT or Particulate Filter fitted from factory it is a fail in the MOT if it is missing.
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... 1-2014.pdf EDIT: Just read that only seems to refer to Class 4,5 and 7 vehicles. Could be wrong though. I was always under the belief that if it passes emissions you are fine.

Re: Thievery Is Afoot
If your car is pre 94 petrol and pre 2000 diesel you can remove the cat but dpf has to stay but dpf's didn't start coming about until 2001
