Exhaust flanges, what do you like?
Building an exhaust for my Trans Am. Have a couple ideas of what to use for flanges to get rid of all the damn slip fittings! WHat do you guys like better?
From headers into the Y-Pipe
-Ball and socket flange OR
-v-band
From y-pipe into catback
-2-bolt flange like the corvettes OR
-v-band
What do you think and why? Thanks!

The down side to ball and socket is the over time the flange part gets beat up if you tighten and loosen a few times.

V-bands hands down. I just had a buddy weld some 4" v-band clamps on my Mufflex catback so I can strip it off easy when I go to the track. They're easy to remove and seal up tight so you don't have to worry about leaks.
