3 bolt header flange.

Would like to have 3 bolt header flanges installed on my kooks 1 7/8 headers. Where can I get nice and thick stainless 3" flanges. I bought a set of cheep omes but looks very thin less than 1/4" and very easy to wrap and leak.
Thanks in advance.

Going to need the flanges to be able to fix the muflix 3" y-pipe and 4" catback to the kooks headers. Any Supporting venders who might carry these?

Why go with 3 bolt flanges? V band clamp has ONE bolt and guaranteed to be leak free.

BTW, Summit sells these, 3 bolt flanges and V band clamp.

I need the 3 bolt flange because it's easy to remove and install (work on this car alot) and I'm used to it. I got flanges from summit but as I mentioned they are very thin and are mild steel. They don't seem to carry thick stainless ones.

use a vband, they're alot better, and easier to take out. either that or a band clamp. both work well and are easy to work on and leak free.

Don't the Kooks come with the 2 bolt ball socket flanges? If not, go with them...no gaskets to blow out.

Do you know if they are strong enough to not crack or break every time the motor flexes?
