PES charges $260 to buy it seperately, luckily I found a used one for less.

All I need now are the lines, hardware &amp; gaskets.

$260 for that? Isn't it basically 2 flanges welded together?

Default Yep, 2 flanges with about 1.5 inches connecting them.
Seeing it in person, it looks harder to fab than I thought it would be. The transition between the 2 flanges would be tough since they are such different shapes &amp; allow room for the nuts.

I would have had a real hard time paying $260 for it, so I'm glad I found a used one.

Default I could make that, if given dimensions and traced the flanges it mates to...
yay for plasma cutters and welders!

Im not the best welder yet but my buddy is badass.

for $260 I could make one in stainless.

Default just a thought, you might want the check the flatness of each interface...
before use. slight warping might create annoying exhaust leaks later.
