Where to get exhaust flanges for our car?

The OEM cat is NOT 3" and my catback exhaust IS 3" as I just stated above.

In order to use a Vband connection BOTH pipes being joined need to be 3".

You actually can weld a 3" v-band directly onto the stock cat flange. I'll be using a combo of stock flanges and v-bands on my new exhaust setup. (I pictured the old setup below.)

Looking at the picture shows that I would still need to source another 3 bolt flange for that.

Nice, easy setup to swap the cat/test pipe nonetheless!

With that setup I did still use the stock rear flange. The thought was that if I wanted to use a stock exhaust, I would still be able to swap it back on. The new setup will actually keep the front v-band and do away with the rear adapter. It would be possible to add a v-band weld flange to the rear, I just never wanted to do it. Good luck!

It's much easier for me to just use the 3 bolt flange, which is what I ordered.
