Default Anyone sell exhaust manifold flages to bolt to stock LSx exhaust?

Can't seem to find them, I have a pair of 1998 Camaro LS1 exhaust manifolds I'm going to use in my car. I also got the flanges with about 3" of pipe on them but they are pretty rough.

I would like to buy new flanges and have them welded up instead of trying to work with the old ones...

There is an untapped market in these for sure Shame, because it's just a flat piece of steel....very easy to make for a machinist.

If I wasn't off from work healing from surgery.... I'd make you some dirt cheap. If you still need them in a month, I'd be willing. Let me know. I might have to make some for myself too.

Default flanges

my suggestion #1 is to go to the junk yard and look for a set of flanges, have your muffler shop weld them to your piping or #2 buy some expensive after market headers.

I keep a handful of the f-body, truck, and some other flanges in stock in mild steel. I'll check what I have around here if you want.

I cut mine from 1/4" plate using the gaskets as templates. Took about 30 mins with a torch and a grinder

I know the truck manifolds vary from drivers to pass side. The pass side has an "elongated" triangle shape, but the pass side has an equilateral triangulation.

Thanks for pointing that out, it was a different size....I made the adjustments in my first post with the pdf.
