Question Anybody sell a SS GT55 exhaust flange??

I've looked everywhere and can only find the exhaust flanges in MS or aluminum. The exhaust will be aluminum after it gets through the K-member, but stainless between that and the turbo. If I thought aluminum would last right off the turbo, I'd go that route, but I just can't see that being durable enough.

If anybody can point me in the direction of a SS exhaust flange for a standard GT55 housing, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

I asked him in a thread of his and didn't get a response so I take it he doesn't offer it

The gt55 flange is a standard flat face 5 inch Vband deal... its not a special flange like a S400 borg.... Buy a 5 inch stainless assembly with an extra clamp, and you'll have what you need for your stainless section.

And you can do aluminum right off the turbo... Just make the first little bit 11 guage tubing instead of 16... the .125 wall stuff holds up pretty good.

Thank you sir. I had a suspicion that might be the case, but I didn't want to take a $100 gamble. I appreciate your help.
