Hello chaps
Does anybody know of a company who make stainless exhaust manifolds for the FB who also have a helpful, friendly customer service orientated... ok, shall i stop there?
In the unlikely event that anybody does... im looking for a pair of stainless exhaust manifold flanges for a 12A... not the whole manifold, just the flanges wot bolt onto the engine.
Any helpful suggestions appreciated.

We've got a member on here who's dad makes bespoke stainless exhausts..... if you send him a template maybe he could cut you a flange out of stainless?

I do like the look of the rear exhaust. It's not blowing at the moment but if I hit a bump it might....
Luckily my dad builds stainless exhaust systems for a living so he might have to build a replica.
Have a look at his site.

Could sketch a template and get them laser cut locally?

Thanks Guys.
I should have explained the situation a bit more... ive got a local hot rod shop (who has given me a more sensible quote than the previous one i got) lined up to make a new custom built s/s header for me and they can, if necessary, get the flange laser cut locally but they suggested that it would be cheaper if i could get hold of one 'off the shelf'... I have my doubts, Mazda Rotary stuff doesnt seem to me to be very 'off the shelf' at the best of times, its not quite the same as looking for bits for a small block Chevy but i thought i would ask anyway. Cutting up an existing header is not really a sensible option unless its very cheap second hand.

You can't just buy a 12A stainless flange. You have to get one of these as well:

Or maybe two if you're feeling flush.
