new dragos pipes missing flanges
Hey quick question: I just unboxed my new pipes this morning to get ready to install and it seems the header flanges are missing? Shouldn't they be loose on the pipes from the manufacture? If they were there it doesn't look like they could be put on except before they were welded up?

You probably re-use the ones on your stock pipes. You remove the circlip from your old exhaust, then slide the old flanges over the end. Then slide the the flanges on the new pipes and install the circlips. The circlips hold the flange on.

I just removed my 09 headpipe today and there is no way you are getting the flanges off without using a hacksaw. The up yours pipe from sinister that I installed had them on from the factory and there is no way you'd get them on without hacksawing the pipes. Contact Drago, and see what they say.
