Default Civic exhaust question

Alright, I recently put a B16 in my hatch and just last week I got a HP Racing header and put it on, I also have an HP Racing axle back exhaust. SO, I really need to get some bigger pipe to go between the header and the axle back but the only problem is that the stock flanges are the same size as the stock pipe. So, I can't really use them. I was wondering where people got their flanges to put on bigger piping. I know plenty of people have done it.

I took it down to a muffler place today and he told me to bring it tomorrow and he would lift it and see if he had anything that would work, but he coldn't think of anything that he had off the top of his head though. Any help is appreciated.

well, the muffler guy is really bad at his job if he doesn't have some 2.25" piping laying around somewhere. it's a very simple job, shouldn't cost you more than $100... and make sure you get rid of the cat while youre custom piping things.

he has the piping, but not the flange to connect it to the header and to the axle back. I stopped by this afternoon, but he wasn't open. Maybe I'll try somewhere in Gainesville when I get back.

Everyone just cuts the flanges off the stock piping and puts them on the new piping, and if the"exhaust guy" did not know this, run ...run very fast away and never look back he is a fool. Any midas can do it, and they do all day long...otherwise you can order the new 2.5 flanges online at a hundred different places, but for 2 1/4 their is no need for new flanges....again the exhaust guy was just an idiot.

I live in Gainesville.

I realize that the old flanges can be cut off an welded but I would rather not have full 2.25 pipe with restrictive stock diameter flanges on both sides.
