Question about replacing cat with straight pipe

I took off my cat and am replacing it with a straight pipe. My question is if anyone knows where to get the ball type flange. I see Mac has an offroad pipe for $75, but I already have the "straight" portion in place, I just need a ball flange to connect the straight pipe to the cat-back. I've seen some at the local auto parts store, but nothing bigger than 2.25". I need a 3".
Any help on where to find one would be much appreciated.

The MAC pipe can be seen here, so you can see what flange I'm talking about: https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...c+offroad+pipe

i just did this on someone elses camaro and im about to do it on mine, i didnt use the flange, u put the new pipe inside the old one and clamped it down with a impact wrench then tightened it more with a breaker bar seems tight enough, doesnt leak and doesnt rattle...try that before u go spend the money on the flange

mental drawing
y pipe-reducer-clamps-pipe inplace of cat-old pipe-new pipe inside of old pipe with a clamp...

not sure if that helps or not but i thought how i explained it was hard to understand
