Default Aristo down pipe, searched need help

Hello all, I have done alott of research on what down pipe will work with the gte vvti engine in my gs300 and have gotten mixes results hoping Somone can give me first hand experience on what down pipe has the correct flange and will work with my gte vvti engine.
I am looking for a down pipe that deletes the first cat also. I understand if I have to have the flange reclockes to work and am fine with that, my main concern is that the flange is the correct by pattern.
Please help... Thanks in advance..

It would probably be much easier and a little cheaper if you just got a downpipe made.

That was my plan B, I do t have a problem fabbing one up my self but due to selling my rig welder I figures if there was already a platform to work off of it would be easier seeing how I have to go to a friends shop and use his welder and my car is not drivable at the moment..
Anyone know of a DP that is close enough where I could just possibly do minor mods to make fit?

Thanks for the help, yeah I placed an order for the flange on Friday, gonna just fab up my own DP, was trying to find a easy way out but since I have to fab it up figure I would build a few extras incase anyone wanting a direct bolt on DP for this common swap...
Thanks again for the reply...
