Replacing catalytic converter from cut pipe

Question

How would I go about replacing a catalytic converter (2003 Honda CR-V incidentally) when the exhaust pipes were cut as shown in the following pics? Can I mount it somehow without welding it? Most of the "how to"s assume you just have to turn a few nuts.

You're either going to have to weld something into place or get the entire replacement (new). You won't be able to capture the exhaust gasses to go through the cat otherwise. Even welding would be tough. If you have emissions to pass, it won't pass without being sealed, either.
