If the rest of the exhaust system from the cat back is due for replacement, I can recommend this as a very easy upgrade. You will need to get three sets of nuts and bolts for it.

error_401 will become famous soon enough

I do all stainless steel bolts on the exhaust, except for the headers. That is experimental and they may fall out.

It seems that I have a nice exhaust leak now since I can hear/smell it under the truck. What size are these bolts and is it simply a matter of removing the broken bolt (or what is left of it for that matter) and installing a new one or is it alot more complicated than that? Thanks

Too bad i didnt have this for you back when you posted this.

JoePublicVA, I just fixed mine a few weeks ago.

Where can one get one or two of these C Flange Brackets?

C Flange Bracket Availability

This is not a product currently available. Last year I was giving them away as part of a feedback program. I am not a manufacturer. I hope to restart a similar program soon.

Joe, you're killing me!

I thought they looked kind of custom, but wasn't 100%. Looks like a solid crowd find idea, though.
