You did not give us time


http://www.racepartsolutions.com/ - These guys have donuts as well.


http://www.globaltecheng.com/Product...?idCategory=31 - These guys are limited to 90 and 45 degree bends, but prices can't be beat.

Their 14GA 409SS bends are tempting.

Thanks for all the help finding components to make my exhaust system. It turned out pretty well, but I need to add a little flex to my down pipe.


Does anyone know where I can find a 3" version of a ball joint with a graphite SS mesh gasket like this?


Or...should I give up looking and add a flex coupling like this:

i would use the flex piece... thats what i put on my 3.5 in stainless system... i think that it allows for more flex once it is installed... the ball connector is more to make it easier to fit initailly... correct me if im wrong... i got a similar ss flex piece and really like it
