I don't know...
That flange is gone on the drivers side when the exhaust is suppose to bolt up.
Look here is the rundown.
I went to a shop to get my Encore HFC installed. I watched the tech unbolt the oem pipes off so I know the flange was there during the install. Now 3 weeks ago I went back to the same shop and they couldn't take me due to an overflow of work so I went around the corner to a muffler shop that they use to put the oem system back on. Now upon unbolting it they noticed the flange was gone and immediately red flagged it. Now from when I first got my
HFC installed to 3 weeks ago my car has been to the dealer twice..
so either one of the following things has happened.
a. Flange somehow fell off
b. Flange magically poofed
c. Angry BMW tech decided to remove it
I'm all out of guesses on what could of happened.
What options do I have or can you suggest?
Do you think it is possible to make a flange like oem and slide it onto the pipes?
If I have to purchase new headers, is it possible to only buy the drivers side?
