Cost will vary but any machine shop can easily do it. When I needed to have the flange on my Greddy log manifold surface ground it cost me $40 at a local place.

- 4 3" Stainless Steel 2-bolt Flanges (For the Pre-Silencer)
- 4 2.5" Non-Stainless 2-bolt Flanges
To me that seems quite expensive. I'm pretty sure I could just design them up and shoot them out to be Cut for cheaper than picking them up individually like that over the shelf. I think I'll do that and get a quote, depending on what you tell me about grounding I may just do that and design them all, not to mention I could then get stainless steel and not really worry about the shipping.  |
Yeah if you can have them made cheaper just get them cut. Main reason I go to ATP is because when I'm doing a project like this, I'll just order everything I need since they have it all. Its just easier for me, but just do whatever's easiest/cheapest for you. If I could have that stuff made real local I would......

Yeah summit will have CHEAP mufflers. And don't sweat offset entry/exit killing flow. You should be able to see straight through if you hold the muffler up, but as I'm sure you can envision, sound get cancelled from bouncing around inside them vs. shooting through a tube.
