I have been looking all over the place for these damn exhaust flanges that connect to the pre-cats! I emailed Richie and he ignored me, I searched many different exhaust websites and performance parts websites and cannot find these anywhere, I am getting my own custom fabricated true dual exhaust and I need these and they need to be for 2.25" piping.

Can anyone please tell me where I can buy these???

Here is another picture of the flange, impossible to find, very annoying.

I'll need to find these too when i begin my exhaust project

Matt W

This is as close as I have come in over 4 hours of searching, for old prelude and not sure if they would even fit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...m=290685354967

Here is who I emailed:

RV6P: Obviously aren't interested in helping out, no reply to my email not even a "no"
HeelToe: Just sent email, was converted into a ticket I am awaiting response.
XRL8: Just sent email awaiting response.

Hopefully I can get these from HeelToe or XRL8

Not ignoring you. Just haven't had a chance to count and check if I have any extra yet. If I sell you a set it might screw up my next production run. 1/2" laser cut and machined flanges aren't exactly cheap to stock.

Matt W

Ah, I'm sorry, please let me know. How much do you think these would run if you did have any extra? If you also know anywhere else I can get these from that would also help. Thanks for the response!

Richie. I would need one too. I'm beginning an exhaust project soon and it is an odd flange. Is it 2.5"?

Matt W

I believe Richies are 2.25 and that is the biggest you can go, even when I put his Jpipe on my car there was one or two bolts I had to tighten by wrench because it was so close to the side of the pipe I could not fit my impact socket onto it.

Also XRL8 and Heeltoe got back to me, they do not have these and told me to cut them off of my old pipe....I am going to check the size.

I am thinking about getting these custom made locally if Richie doesn't have any extra

Matt W

Okay I just took out my old factory Jpipe, the pipping that is coming off of it is 2" pipping so that won't do, the flanges opening on the other end can fit 2.25 inch pipping into it if there is any way to get the old piping off.

I think were are going to have to get these custom unless Richie has extra, or unless you want to use 2" piping.

AbyssPearlTL

I really wonder if I could make these.... I have extra gaskets to use as a template.

Matt W

If Richie says he doesn't have any I am going to use a disk grinder to cut the other ones off and then use a die grinder to get the hole back to 2.25" size, custom fabricating will be a last resort as it will be very expensive for only 2.

AbyssPearlTL

And then use a band clamp to seal it, or are you going to weld it?

Matt W

I will have the guy who is doing my install Weld it, there won't be anything left from the original pipe because I will disk grind it flush to the flange and then use the die grinder to make the hole back the original size of 2.25".

AbyssPearlTL

Gotcha.. I'll see what I can do with the flange thing. I want to be able to unbolt the exhaust.

I normally just cut it off the old pipe and then bore them out.. quite simple.

Matt W

What would I use to bore the hole? Never done that before but sounds like an easier method..if I have the right tools.
