🔧 Enhance Your Exhaust System with Nickson Industries 17177 Exhaust Split Flange Review

A little difficult to open like the lock is rusty, but the flange problem has been fixed! No costly muffler repairs required!

Worked as advertised but be careful not to over tighten it will bend a bit. The bottom line is that it works well and saves me the hassle of welding stainless steel tubing or, worse, paying money to replace it. 4 stars because it's bent, should be harder steel.

I bought two of these to solve a rust problem on my Volvo 240. The original split flange rusted after 27 years, making my car sound like a four-door bike. With my reluctance to remove any additional exhaust system components, these flanges did a great job of reattaching the downpipe to the catalytic converter. Time will tell how well they hold up to rust, but I was able to fix the leak without bending the brackets by over-tightening them. I would recommend them to others with a similar problem,
