Default I need a flange for my Y pipe

I got my Ypipe installed recently had intended to do a Borla cat back. Those are not to be had, evidently {Ihad five orders cancelled). I plan on using my existing exhaust since it is fairly new: just replace mufflers.
My problem is I need a 4 bolt flange that I can weld to it to match up w/the Ypipe. Does any one know where I can buy the flange on the Y pipe or does anyone have a flange left over that will work that they will sell me?
Thanks

If no one responds, go to the local muffler shops - they will have standard flanges in stock, and will sell and/or weld one on for you. Make a paper or cardboard pattern to take with you if you don't want them to do the welding.

Thanks Wally. I didn't know they had flanges. mY machine shop is covered up and didn't want to make one. I'm stepping down from the 3" Y pipe to 2 1/2" exhaust. I have an 8" long transition reducer. Alraedy have a pattern. I'll go by local muffler shop tomorrow.

I could have one laser cut from plate steel where I work. It might take a week to get it to you though. It would just cost shipping.

][/quote] That would be great! Appreciate that. I got my 3" to 2 1/2" from Jegs. I can PM my address and work out shipping with you. Do you have dimensions?

I called Borla today, they told me the next run for the MY82 cat back system will be completed on the 20th ready to ship on or about the 23rd. I was told it fits the 83' with a single.

I have plenty of 3" 4-bolt flanges available, give me a call and I will get you set up if you still need one.

Dave, I will call you tomorrow to set this up. We road tripped the last two days and just got in last night. I assume you are closed today, the 4th.
