Flange needed for exhaust
I'm going to have a 135i stock exhaust put on my 128i but I need to find a flange I can have welded on. I talked to a local shop and the mechanic said I should easily be able to find a kit online with the 2 flanges and donut gasket but I have had no such luck.
The stub end is 2.5" OD and the bolt center to center distance is about 4.75" and it need to accept a donut style gasket to mimic the OE style. Does anyone know where I can buy a flange like this? edit It should be something like this |

I just called a local Midas and the guy basically told me good luck finding just the flange. I have a hard time believe you can't just buy the flange somewhere...

Make sure you properly coat it as well post welding, otherwise, rusty goodness here we come.

I've called several Midas shops, a wholesale parts supplier, Berk, and aFe. Midas and the parts supplier basically say good luck finding it. Berk and aFe won't sell just the flange they use separately. I don't understand how this is so difficult to find a stupid flange |

Problem solved. I ordered what looked like could be the right flange and it ended up matching perfectly with the 135i exhaust.
For others who might go down this same road, here is what I found Blox Racing (BXFL-00110) 2.5" Stainless Steel Header Collector Flange for Honda JDM http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007ZDOSFI Now I just need to go get it installed |
