Not impossible but a little more work intensive than going with that mild steel flange.

You don't *need* that piece to be SS. Your turbine housing isn't SS anyways. The SS Vbands you'll use after the adaptor will all fit together fine.

I'd highly recommend avoiding that. You want an easy to remove connection at the back of the turbo.

Whether you use the SS flange by Mazdatrix, or make your own, you can be certain either one will need to be surface ground afterwards. Mild will not be as easily warped.

More mufflers will always be quieter. Offset inlet/outlet will kil alot of noise.
3" single exhaust is NOT quiet.
