Exhaust Flanges?
Exhaust Flanges? I'm using 2002 F-body factory manifolds and I would like to run dual exhaust on my jeep conversion. Apparently I can't just buy flanges to bolt pipes to the manifolds. Can anyone please help with some ideas or know a place to buy flanges.
Thanks
Thanks
y-pipe I have not seen one personally, but it sounds like the cat bolts to the manifold. In any case, each manifold uses a different size three bolt flange. I thought about the y-pipe idea also, but the description of the flanges from the guy I was going to buy them from made it sound like they were not what I needed. ????
Thanks
Thanks
i would think that you could get some 98-99 manifolds and cut off the flanges... they arent like the full cast manifolds of 00-02 cars, they actualy have flanges that could be seperated. ive been thinking about it for my 240Z swap

I'd love to know where to get them too. I have the truck manifold and y pipe, but the driver side dumps right into the frame rail. I just received a set of F-body manifolds, which will solve the problem nicely, if I can get a flange for it...

Flanges done Well here is what I did for mine. I used the manifold with the smaller triangle bolt pattern as a template and had two flanges cut at a steel shop from 1/2 inch steel. They used a water cutting machine so there was no heat warpage. I had them also cut the hole for the exhaust pipe at the same time. I used the old gasket as a template, lined up the holes for the exhaust pipe and drllled stud holes in the flanges. I drilled the holes the same in each flange so the same gasket could be used. I then lined up the flange on the manifold the has the big triangle bolt pattern and drilled new holes in this manifold and tapped them for studs. Tada done !!
Fast377-I don't understand how header flanges would work on these manifolds. Or should I say at least one of them. One of my manfolds has a very large non-90 degree triangle bolt pattern that a header flange would definitely not bolt up to. I did not check, but I suppose the other manifold could very easily use a header flange. One other thing, at least for myself, is I wanted a setup that would stay sealed and in my experience header flanges tend to need more attention over time for exhaust leaks.
BTW- There are some flanges listed at Stainless Works, but I did not investigate them. They may be flanges for building headers and bolt to the head. There are no images to look at.

I can second that. I picked up some SS type manifold for a ~'99 F-body, and again, there is no way a header flange is going to cut it. My intention is to use the header flange on the y-pipe, and drill the pattern into the exhaust manifold flange. There is more than enough material to do this.
