I have been measuring exhausts over the last few days.

The CDTi is indeed 57mm outer diameter. It the exhaust you're looking at is 60mm outer diameter it should slide over but will likely have a flaired end that you will need to cut off or fit a sleeve.

I just bought a used ss cat back system with an outer diameter of 60mm and I have a ss front pipe with a dummy cat with 63.5mm outer diameter so hopefully one will fit within the other with a bit of fettling, they both have flaired ends that will need removing but I have about a meter of overlap.
