finding new exhaust split flanges online

Post by Skribb »

i recently replaced the donut gasket at the cat conv and main exhaust pipe from the motor and discovered one of the flanges broke rather they are 2 piece flanges and the bottom bolt rusted to the point it broke off the flange completely during tightening the flanges from both pipes together ive check all the local part stores where i live and nobody carries them or knew what i was talking about when i said it was a 2 piece flange ive look at multiple sites online with no luck and was wondering if someone may know where to find one i have a local napa store but its currently closed so not able to find out if they can get one my only other optin at this point is cutting the flared ends of the pipes off and welding them together with a sleeve but would rather fix it right right now i wrapped it with baling wire for a temp fix.

If you mean the flanges arrowed on the attached they are part of the pipe.
