Default flanges/gaskets for A'PEXi world sport exhaust

I bought a world sport exhaust for my 4th gen for cheap because it had a flange cut off and now i'm looking for a flange for it and gaskets, but all I can find is 2.5" flanges and was wondering if that woudl work or be too big because the 60mm piping is something liek 2.3" I'm sure I coudl have a flange made if there aren't any available that will work, but gaskets for the system i'm not sure about. any help woudl be great. thanks

might as well just have some universal 2.5" flanges welded on there and call it a day. a muffler shop can just expand that pipe a tad and it will all fit in the flange.

which flange/flanges are you missing? you can get flanges, but why not use universal? any reason?

universal flange? how can a flange be universal to fit different pipe sizes? i'm just trying to find the same flange, i'm sure I can fill in the gap using a 2.5" flange, but i'm not sure if the holes will line up.

I think he means a universal 60mm exhaust flange, like this...

check out kteller.com for some flanges

but like said earlier if you take it to a muffler shop they'll expand the tubing a tiny bit (.2 of and inch or less) and if decide to do that you'll have an easier time finding gaskets if one goes bad. The expansion will NOT hurt the flow at all so don't worry about that

i guess i wasnt clear on my first post. what i meant was, have TWO flanges welded on, so they mate. not have a universal welded on and then try to stick it on to your apexi flange, they may or may not fit.

just have them flare it out to fit the flange, it's not rocket science for them. they do it on the daily.
