My son has a 1996 Honda Civic CX hatchback.  He purchased an
aftermarket exhaust system to replace the entire system from the
header all the way back.  The exhaust header has a two bolt flange on
it.  The corresponding piece of the replacement exhaust system has a
three hole flange and cannot be connected.  It also appears that the
replacement system is about 6" too short.  The system came from eBAY
from a store called Speedneedz (or something like that).  Has anyone
come across this type of problem?  To me it seems that all that is
needed is a transition piece to from from the two hole flange on the
header to the three hole flange on the exhaust pipe.  What's annoying
is that this is supposed to be a simple replacement of a stock item
without modification.  Hasn't worked out that way.  Anyone come across
this before?

Thanks.

While i was under an 89 civic a few days ago I noticed that the HEADER
connection was two holes and the CATALYTIC CONVERTER had three holes.

Are you missing the converter?

Sounds like a Cat-Back system to me...   You leave on the original
Catalytic Converter and put the new exhaust on, from the cat back...
