I'm sure an engineering workshop would cut/sell you a flange. As for prices, no idea. If you can get the appropriate flange dimensions for your application and supply the shop with these, this shouldn't cost more than a couple of hundred at most. I'd be expecting <$100.
I could be mistaken though! |

Thanx mate yeh i wouldnt expect it to be overly expensive either, $100 or so sounds decent. Ill ask around and see what they can do for me.. I wasnt sure if an exhaust shop would have to facilities to do it for me either.

As a mechanical engineer in training I can tell you it wouldn't take long at all to do. They can also mill a grove on the flange so your pipes fit exactly centre and saves lining them up.

If you make up a template of how you want it cut it will make it even easier/quicker for the place cutting it as well.
