Header and xpipe connection?
I've got a set of Kooks headers that have a 2 bolt flange. I ordered an xpipe and it came without any flange. Both header and xpipe have the ball and socket set up. Is it possible to use a Torca clamp in place of the bolts and flanges? I've already emailed Kooks and the supplier, but since it's so late, I won't expect an answer until Monday at the earliest. Any help here?

The x pipe has high flow cats, 3" with 2.5" flange at the rear for oem size overaxle exhaust. What gets me, is that the x pipe is belled, but doesn't have the 2 bolt flange. Right now, I'm wondering if the ball and socket connections are different for the systems that either use the Torca Swivelseal clamps vs. the 2 bolt flange type.

Update. I was in contact with Kooks and found out they did an update on their connections. The Torca Swivelseal clamp will not work with the older 2 bolt flange headers that I have. They did offer to build me a new x pipe with the correct flange, but I decided to go with a new set of headers instead. Thanks to those that had input.
Btw, both Kooks and the vendor were great to deal with.
