Default Where can I get flanges to weld onto my headers?

Like the title says, Im having loads of issues with exhaust leaks with slip on piping and clamps.

I wish i could weld it ALL up but thats not possible, because i need to be able to remove the mid pipe on my corvette.

Im running the Texas speed performance headers and I need some sort of flanges I can have an exhaust shop install, then weld the rest of the system...

Any ideas?

atlanta..

i was looking at the v bands, How do they offer such an advantage over everything else?

they look like to flat ends that butt up against eachother, How does the clamp keep it from leaking?

I got a set of ball and socket connectors like what on mustangs for my hookers to bolt up to my x pipe. More ground clerence and leak free plus they dropped it down from 3" to 2.5" to match the rest of my system. You can get them 3" to 3" and 3" to 2.5" and 2.5 to 2.5

PM me if you want a link. I like them better than the V bands, the pipes don't have to line up perfect to seal up
