Thanks for the help.

I am going to try and find one next week.

Hopefully it all goes well so I can finally get this exhaust fixed.

Price is $31.95

Phone # 1-800-765-3785

Part # MPF 300.HH

I just talked to them on the phone and they said to talk to Matt, he's the chevy expert.
They are out of stock now, but can get more sent from Oregon, and they will ship worldwide.

Just called up Baxter's and they told me the power flanges are now a discontinued item.

So now I have to figure out something else.

I found the contact info for the people who make the Powerflanges. Haven't had time to verify it though.

HeaderHush
11225 NW Reeves St
Portland, OR 97229
503/674-8081

Available in billet aluminum, ductile iron, or stainless steel.

I will call after Christmas to see if they are still making them. I need a 3 1/2" set. If they don't I have a friend who can probably machine me a set.

If they don't make them anymore, see if your friend can also make me a set. I have 3" collectors and would like a set.

Let me know.
Thanks

I called headerhush power flanges today. I talked to the owner. He told me you can call that number 1-503-674-8081. You can order them through them for 55 dollars a complete set includes shipping and handling. He told me that baxters still sells them. but you know how that goes getting a hold of the right person. They are only available in 3 inch flanges at the monent.

Thanks for the added info, but I think I am now leaning toward the ball flanges that Summit carries. They are guaranteed not to leak and are cheaper.

I always get my pipes welded straight to the header thats one leak you can elimanate alot of times the motor mounts are allowing too much flex have someone bury the brake and put it in drive and gas on it watch the engine then try it in reverse Might need stiffer motor mounts..

I used to have header leaks all the time untill i went full solid havent had a problem since but thats a tad harsh on a fulltime streeth machine.. Might invest in some poly motor mounts them things are nice dont let it budge and inch.

Also them flex pipes that Were posted up would work out real nice and there pretty cheap too just get them welded to the header and ehaust pipe.
