I bought a BBC Hooker weld-up kit,mine come in a un-welded kit.I bought the flanges from Indy.It would be hard to bring the 2 middle pipes in on a set already welded.But when you cut the flange off you could cut the 2 middle pipes(I would cut them in the radius(bend) and weld them to the flange and get the local muffler shop to bend you 2 pieces to connect the pipes back together. These are one pair that I welded up from a BBC kit. 7954385-mmp15.jpg.jpg (124 downloads) Last edited by MRMOPAR622; 12/10/13 06:30 PM.
