| Hi everyone, I have a aftermarket 2 1/4 inch cat back and a decat which i had made up to it. Problem is, the guy who put the decat on changed my 3 bolt flange on the mid pipe to a 2 bolt one and done the same with the decat so that it would fit (im thinking he did not have any 3 bolt flanges so done the easiest thing at the time) only found this out a couple of days ago when i looked underneath my car. Now i need to change the decat end part and the mid pipe to a 3 bolt flange so that i can swap my exhaust but everywhere i asked locally exhaust places wise tell me they cant get any 3 bolt flanges in and another problem will be is which position to have the 3 bolt flange put on so that i can fit my new exhaust on. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you | |

| If you can't find a 3 bolt flange anywhere, can't you have a 2 bolt flange welded onto your new exhaust instead? Failing that it sounds like you will have to buy the complete exhaust from manifold back or turbo back. You have the rear section, so its just the front section you nead now.
Or buy a secondhand section of exhaust for your model of car and have the 3 bolt flange cut off and use that. | |

| Yeah i could have the new exhaust changed to a 2 bolt to fit my decat but the problem is, the guy who im swapping the exhaust with will then have to change the mid pipe flange to a 3 bolt for his decat... No exhaust places around wolves seem to have 3 bolt flanges in stock which is weird. Tegiwa sell the exhaust flange which i need but they sell it in both 2" and 2.5", i don't know which will fit mine, and then getting it at the correct honda original fitment is going to be tough for a exhaust place id of thought. http://www.tegiwaimports.com/eshop/store/eshop_viewItem.asp?idProduct=1289 | |

| Oh right, will give him a ring tomorrow during the day and see if he can sort my dilemma out. Cant believe no exhaust places have 3 bolt flanges :/ its mad if you ask me. I know the size of it that i want because i know the diameter of my system, so if he can make me 2 that would be awesome. | |
