Standard centre section will be 2.5” and won’t fit that 3” flange. I think I remember seeing someone mention there’s a company does reducers/crossovers. Then there’s the issue of length of existing vs the one you’ve bought.

There wont be much of a matching mating face between the two flanges. I roughly cad'd up a 3" and a 2.5" from dims i found online. There's areas at the bolt holes that only have about 1mm matching faces.
