    You may have seen in my other thread that I recently had my catalytic converter stolen. I have ordered parts to fix it but they won't be here for almost two weeks. The jerks unbolted from the manifold so I am literally running an open manifold. It's very loud and I'll probably get stopped by the police because of it. I have asked the muffler shop to install a temporary pipe to route the exhaust through the muffler until my parts get here but they refuse. I understand of course.

    If the thieves had cut the pipe I could have installed a patch pipe myself but they unbolted at the manifold. I tried asking a parts store if they had a piece of exhaust pipe that had a flange that would bolt to my manifold but they don't carry one.

    Do you know where I can get a flange that will bolt to my manifold? I mean locally like Napa Auto parts or something like that. Part numbers and the proper name of the part I want would be great. Thank you in advance!

    Do any local junkyards have a dead Prius with the flange present, with or without the cat?

    It’s Labor Day weekend and I haven’t found one that is open that carries Prius parts. I was hoping someone know the name and dimensions of a flange fitting that will bolt to my manifold

    Guys (crooks?) that deal in "salvaged" catalytic converters would maybe cut those flanges off, hopefully with a bit of pipe.

    I doubt it. To much work for what they would get. Toss it all in the recycle pile
