I want to flange up at the rear of my 83 so I can change out a muffler quickly and I am helping someone add cats to a TR8. We want flanges on the cats so we can get em off after smog and straight pipe back to the dual mufflers(215 buick v8 aluminum). I hate weld up jobs.

I agreed to help someone install a header and a strait pipe flanged both ends and call it a day. But the previous owner had some joker at a shitty shop wielded in new pipe to replace some rotted pipe from the cat to the muffler and no flanges were present except the one coming off the exhuast manifold!!!! So I got burn't agreeing to this and had to use a hack saw in a couple places and with very poor leverage to do the sawing. Then make several trips to the exhuast shop to cut and wield flanges onto a pipe and near the muffler to do it without getting the exhuast shop in trouble. ARGG!!!!
So my advice to anyone here is don't just wield in pipe, use flanges were they should be and then sell it. I know if I was looking at a Rex and saw a flangeless exhuast, I would bitch till the price was dropped. It also makes the tranny hard to get out and some other stuff.
