Re: exhaust flange replacement

["Fred Munro" <munrof@isys.ca>]

Mike;

    I just replaced the rusted off exhaust hangers at the cat on my '91 200q
and had to replace the header to cat flange as well - it was rusted out.  A
2 piece split flange of the proper size for the pipe worked great - these
are available at shops which supply exhaust components. I think the size was
68 or 70 mm - can't remember for sure. Just measure the OD of the exhaust
pipe and ask for that size.
