Product Information

On occasions the exhaust may need removing for upgrade or perhaps for access to carry out sub frame repair, at which point the original flanges will need to be grinded to be removed and a suitable replacement will be required. It also provides a good strong connection between the different parts of an exhaust section, such as the Manifold, turbo joints, down pipes, front sections, exhaust flexi sections, middle exhaust silencers and exhaust rear back boxes. Does anyone know of a kit that will fit my car, or failing that, have any tips re drilling out the rusted bolts - which seems to be the only option so far, a job which my mechanic is understandably not looking forward to. Four flanges are used to clamp together and seal the intermediate pipe to the rear muffler / backbox.

To pick the right flange, consider the flange size and material and find one that fits the vehicle’s exhaust system. Following my recent MOT on my 2003 325i Touring, my mechanic told me that the exhaust mountings need attention. Due to age and corrosion, the exhaust and cat flanges can corrode and become an MOT failure due to leaks. The heads of the studs on mine were welded to the cat flanges- from the quality of the weld, I'd say it was factory, as it was VERY clean.

Bear River Converters is not responsible for any additional charges that may occur as a result of this. This warranty does not cover damage that may be the result of improper use, including, but not limited to: road damage, overheating, missing hangers, broken motor mounts, etc. These modifications may include, but are not limited to: reducing or expanding pipe size, cutting pipe to length, welding, and/or purchasing additional parts. Our high quality stainless steel flange kit splits around the exhaust pipes, allowing you to replace the flanges without having to remove the exhaust. I fitted the talkwrench style clamps and they only made the issue worse by snapping off the pipe in this location.

Install our high quality stainless steel flange clamps which very simply attach in situ, curing vehicle faults and will last the life of the vehicle. These parts are integral to the intermediate pipe and rear muffler and are not available separately from BMW. The exhaust flanges are manufactured from poor quality steel that will rust and corrode and eventually disintegrate, causing an exhaust leak.I cut the studs off flush with the flange, used a dremel to cut of the "head" of the stud and the apparent weld bead, and then proceeded to burn up several decent drill bits over a couple of hours of tedious drilling. These are constructed of cast iron (despite being fitted to a stainless steel exhaust) and inevitably deteriorate and split.
