Anyone sell the oem style exhaust connectors

Does anyone know of a company sells the exhaust connectors that mate the rear section to the xpipe? It's the section that requires the two larger clamps.

Are there any other options out there other than cut and weld or using a butt joint?

You can try a split flange (you'll need 4) , you'll need some sealer too..

You need the actual piping or the clamps?

The clamps are easy. They're about $30/40 each at the dealer. But the bell flange sections I've never seen.

They are ball and socket flanges. Like these:

Is it for an akra? RKP makes the adapters to mate the akra xpipe (straight pipe ends) to oem style rear mufflers with bell style ends on the pipes.

Searching web, seems they are no longer made.

Yes but no.

They are ball style but use clamps. The posted ball style are also smaller than what we use. I would almost say ours are oval style lol.

So no leads? I'm either going to cut up a spare exhaust and xpipe I have here or convert to just pipes and lap joints. I love how the oem ones give you some space to play without having to drop the entire exhaust.
