Default Flanges

I have changed the side pipes on my Blue E-M by welding a flange onto the headers. I made my flanges. My friend, Colin had a shop make him 4 flanges for his Shell Valley slip type headers. They made them out of 1/4" plate and charged him $7 each. We had to drill the 5/16" holes to bolt the flanges together but they cut the 2" holes. I welded the flanges onto his side pipes and headers. Job takes about 5 to 6 hours. A muffer shop can expand your pipes to 2".
