does anyone know where i can get a set of midpipe flanges. i dont really see the point of paying upwards of 200 bucks for something i can make myself, just need the flanges. i've looked around at a few sites but cant find anything, thanks

 

Try here, http://stores.channeladvisor.com/verociousmotorsports
Don't know which flange it is you are looking for but verocious do a good range of exhaust parts.

 

I should also point out that the 3 bolt flange on the RX8 is not a standard size. This means that it is unlikely that you will find any third party flange to match it. In that case you would have to have one made specially.
Anybody got any info to the contrary?

Scroll down to the bottom.

 

I missed those flanges, must remember to scroll to bottom in future
But very very expensive.

 

yea i did find the sr motorsports flanges but they are way way too expensive, by the time i bought those and the material it wouldnt be much less than any other midpipe.
The reason for making my own is saving money. If anyone has a stock midpipe near or around charlotte, NC that they'd give me or sell for real cheap so that i can cut the flanges off that would be awsome

 

yeah, way too expensive

we have a plasma table here in the shop at work (stainless steel metal fab shop), I could easily make them ... if I could find the time

 

hella........

did anyone say cheap?? i did

 

does anyone have one lying around they could trace out, scan and post the measurements....i also work at a metal fab shop with a burnout table i was gonna make my own. but i would have to find something else to drive to work if i had to take exhaust apart so i could make a copy

 

Racing Beat has them. They just aren't on their website. Part #16185 Call them and ask them how much they are.

 

yea, i could go through them and get them, but at work it wouldnt take long, no wait for shipping, and best of all they would be absolutely free

 

Do you have AutoCAD where you work? I have a CAD drawing of the stock exhaust header and it's 3 bolt flange. I did this in my spare time while I had the header off the car. It wouldn't take me too long to make a CAD drawing of the 2 bolt flange at the other end of the CAT pipe, if that helps? I think I can send it as a DXF which windows can view, I think?? Or WMF (Windows Meta File) which windows can certainly open
Anyway's let me know.

 

that would be greatly appreciated and alot of help for sure.....yes we have auto cad but use vicon to cut everything out, which vicon opens a dxf so that would be perfect.

 

I have the header flange in AutoCAD already but will need to do the 2 bolt one when I can, tomorrow maybe. PM me with your email address and I will send header DWG immediately. The drawing is not fully complete but is complete enough for your 3 bolt flange.

 

what is the size of the stock exhaust? Looking at making myself just a turn down after the rear axle for autox events.

I like the flanges here but

but not sure what size to get?

 

The stock exhaust here has 2.5" pipe, or more accurately 68.00mm OD.
