That's an interesting concept, but they don't specify how the flange is bonded to the coupler. I think I'd have concerns about the joint failing or leaking. Also, for the price, you could probably have a flange welded at a local shop, so the main advantage is really only convenience. It's still not a bad idea though.

Seems pricey imo but it looks nice and functional. ID say go for it if you want one. I wouldent because of the price, and icould fabricate one myself for less i belive. Wouldent look as nice but i could do it

I got my aluminum piping cut/welded for 20 bucks locally to have my flange installed. Seems like a cool idea though.

I'd worry about it staying sealed after many miles with vibration.

Same concept as the rest of your couplers. If you start seeing boost leaks you start checking them.
