Racing Beat Presilencer

I have a custom downpipe that mates to the stock cat and the Apex-i N1 dual that's supposed to bolt on to the stock cat. My question is the following. Can I use the Racing Beat silencer in place of the stock cat? Will everything bolt in? Is there anything else I can use? I know I can use a muffler as a midpipe, but is there anything that bolts in?
Thanks

I don't think the RB pre-silencer is a direct replacement for the stock cat.I think it may be longer(not sure).I think is is only bolt in with thier Down pipe or header.

jack the car up and measure from bolt to bolt to see it the holes line up at least some what. and make sure its the right diameter then measure the length.

I think I'm just going to buy the Racing Beat downpipe and the presilencer so that everything will bolt in.
Thanks for your help.

Yes it is longer. Stock cat 17.5", RB presilencer 20"

I even emailed RB to ask them and they said it would not fit in place of the stock cat, catback, and same lengthed downpipe without having to chop some length off somewhere.

How do I know its longer? I used to have the RB downpipe and presilencer. It will bolt on to the stock cat only if you use the RB downpipe. And of course we are talking about the 2.5" downpipe and presilencer.
