Default AMR 3" BALL SOCKET Fitting

Hey can someone help me out with a link for a 3" female Ball Socket header extension that will "Match up to my American Racing 1 7/8" headers
I did'nt buy the X-pipe cause it's too heavy and I'm going to make my own out of Titanium.

I only want to do this once so I thought I would just ask the Forums




Thanks Fella's

This should work. Is this what you're talking about?

I have used hedmans 3" ball sockets when hooking up headers to my dual exhaust on my 98 LS1 car.....it all worked according to plan. The only thing I ran into is the bolts came very loose fast so when I went into retighten them I used some high temp sealant on the ball flange and high heat lock tight on the nuts/bolts and it never came loose or leaked again!
