Where to buy pipe flanges??

I'm looking for the "Ball and socket" (for lack of a better term), OEM style flanges.

I want to fab my own exhaust, but I want to be able to put a OEM wtyle end on my work and connect it to other OEM components. I've searched Summit, and they sell exhaust fabrication parts, but I can't find those flanges...

I'm with you on those "Ball and Socket" type flanges. I just used what I had on my Camaro but if you get desperate check junkyards.. I'm sure you'd be able to find 3 or 4 of those flanges without much of a fuss.. Just make sure they're the right size.

Tom, last I checked (about two years ago) Autozone or one of those box stores carried them (in stock in the isle). I needed to fab connectors for a 'stang. IIRC it was around $13 ea. pc. Knowing what China is doing to steel prices, I don't doubt it's more now.

YES!! Thank you very much! That is exactly what I was looking for. I don't know how you found them @ Summit's site...I sure couldn't find them, but I totally appreciate it. Now I can fab on.

RD, Summit's asking $45 each for them, so I'd say that you're right about the prices. I might check a "box store" in Salt Lake though I doubt it would be much cheaper.
