Where to get a 3", 3 or 4 bolt dp flange

I want to buy a pair of 3", 3 or 4 bolt downpipe flange for my turbo and dp. It has a v-band on it now but, I've had bad expierences with them leaking all the time and I don't feel like dealing with it on this setup. Where can I buy a nice set?

Thanks,
Silvio

Usually it is just a tightening issue as dubulup stated. It can matter in which sequence you tighten it in. I haven't had any here that I couldn't get ot stop leaking just by going over the exhaust a few times. Sometimes you may need to loosen the turbine housing on the manifold, tighten the turbine to Dp then tighten the housing to the manifold. If for some reason it is beat up a bit. It is a low pressure area. You can use some high temp sealer between the faces then clamp. It won't blow out. It is used to just "fill in" the imperfections so both surfaces mate up.
