Anyone know where I can buy some OEM flanges for the front of the muffler connection for a 2005 xB?

I want to replace the muffler with a straight tail pipe and retain the stock pipe connections so I'll be able to put the stock muffler back on when I want to.

hack another stock exhaust, you'll not find anytihng like this available.

you can have them made.. I think you just need to have the pipe ends flanged out a little to accaept the OEM clamp.. Chopping the stock end and reusing is the best bet as metioned above.

Don't hack a stock muffler just for this. All you have to do is have the muffler shop put a plair on the end of the pipe. It's got to be small enough to fit inside the clamp. That is all.

you could have a shop flare it, but Most shops would charge more than a used muffler that nobody wants, but i have never seen any ball-end flared piping for sale for fab. purposes.

Post some sound clips when you do this!

nobody want used stock mufflers??? I'm keeping mine incase I ever go back to 100% stock. I wouldn't mind getting a second low mile one either just to have.
