Center section flange

No Johnny unfortunately, its the flange itself I need, I have the gaskets you see, but the exhaust I have needs a flange welded on as it was slip jointed you see, so I either need to weld a flange on to the new one, or cut the flange off the one that's on it and make both slip jointed, but if rather not damage the one on it if you get me
Cheers tho, out with the tape and all, good man

Somebody may have a Subaru factory centre section lying around. Just cut the flange off it. Classic or Newage would do.

No it's off the other exhaust I have, the one on the car is fine, but the other cat back I bought is missing it.
See, I bought a straight pipe cat back, but I don't want to fit the whole thing. Be much easier to just swap the back box around come NCT time rather than the whole cat back, but, that that cat back is slip jointed, so there's no flange on the back box pipe if you get me
What I was thinking of doing when I bought it was to cut the flange off the new center section, and weld that onto the back box, but the flange that came on the exhaust (at the downpipe side) is the one that the donut gasket goes onto...not the flat one that it should be for a back box.
So ideally, what I'd need is, either the flange from a back box, or the flange from the back box side of the center section, cause I couldn't imagine anyone having a back box flange lying around...but as colm said, an old broken center section or something would do, just cut the flange off that.
Does that make sense? Tis a bit hard to explain lol

Mighty man conor, lemme get back to you on it. I'll check with seanie and report back, he has the whole slip jointed cat back fitted now. I'm not sure will I leave it like that or just weld the flange on, I'll tell him I have one sourced and we'll go from there
