where to find 3" flanges for cat?

I have two flanges welded onto the ends of my cat so that it just bolts up between the cat-back and y-pipe. Does anyone know where I can get some of these flanges to weld to a straight pipe? I think they're four bolts and my friend called them ball-flanges?

Any exhaust shop can hook you up, my flanges have 3 bolts.

I went to every muffler shop in town and no one had this flange. I bought a set of these online.

If you need a 3" flange you can have one with the bolts and gasket for $12 shipped.

No, that's not what I'm talking about. I need something that's more of an oval/rectangle shape. One has two bolts and the other has four. I'll take it to a local shop and see if they just have some spares since I can weld them myself.

If you dont find what you exactly want, you can make half the pipe with this fitting and any 3"pipe:




It is a better version of the one fitting you are looking for.
3" Pipe fitting is $15.00 shipped.

That's the one that's on the rear, connecting to the cat back. But the front is a four-bolt plate similar to the one in the other picture. Where did you find those? I may be able to make the front one myself out of a raw plate if I can't find one already made.

The picture of the one that I put on there is a test pipe from Mac. I don't actually have one, but I think they sell them on their website. If I am not mistaking, GM actually sells that rectangular flange, though I could be wrong.
