Leaky slip fits, how to switch to flanges?

I have leaky slip fits on my pacesetter long tubes. How can I switch to flanges? Can I just buy some flanges and hardware along with gaskets and some extra pipe and just have any exhaust shop put them on?

Yup, thats all there is to it. You could probably just get the flanges and all that from the shop you go to though. Make sure you go to a decent shop, ive seen some **** exhaust work (just removed some from my car)

Exactly what we do. You can get them for either butt together, or slip fits...
Last 1's I got were from Summit... About $8 ea.
