Where does one find exhaust system parts.. Ill have factory manifolds on the Olds engine in the Astre and will need to fab an exhaust system.. So where do you find the parts to mount up to the donut or flange on the exhaust manifold? is that type of item available in stainless?
Call this guy. You can't hardly buy the parts for what he charges to build a complete system.
He may have a source for stainless too.

I wont be ready for a while.. It just seems weird that you cant find the individual pieces... Best I could even come close to was downpipes.

You're looking for parts for a 50 year old car. It was a short run with limited production as it was. Not going to be any aftermarket support for it. If you can find info on the web for original part numbers you MAY find NOS stuff but it's going to be rare and probably spendy.
Custom exhaust shops will just bend up what you want/need. They have the best possibility of a source for specific flanges and donuts for the old manifolds.

NAPA has a pretty fair selection of flanges/etc... but their not stainless. You just have to invest the time on the website and search.
