Couple options;

Check with a Midas/Monroe and see if they have them. Their mechanics are paid for efficiency, and sometimes keep things like flanges around for their own use on repairs. They cut 100's of them off each month. These will usually be pretty rusty tho.
OR
Buy the flanges alone on ebay, and add your own downpipe and bung. This is nice because you can change the dp length as needed, and orient the bung so it doesn't interfere with other clearances.
OR
Have them lasercut. With technology today, its actually pretty reasonable to have a local metalshop chop a few out for you. (not cheap per se, but a great option to upgrade to extra thick flanges or stainless!)
