Has anyone got a flange to mate an m30 downpipe to an M3 exhaust?
Looking for either a waste piece with flange attached or directions on where to purchase one!!

Cheers all! :D

if you need a CAD original for a laser / plasma / waterjet cutting place, pm me your email and i'll get one over to you. cost me about £25 iirc

Cant you just buy these? Exhaust places make up stainless systems!

you may be able to. i believe somewhere in the states sells them (well, i've read that on here once...)

dunno about exhaust places - powerflow may be able to get them. fairly unique though.

It's probobly cheaper to get one made, i had one from the states and it robbed me about £60-70 to get it over here and pay the tax on it.

The BMW gaskets are about £20 for both of them

GAP are good too, though i've not used them myself, i think a few of the others here have (maybe turbo brown, toby_unna and andy335touring...?).. i could be wrong about who though!!!! :D

or search for someone who can do laser cutting near you.
