Z.,

I have to hit the yard this week. Do you want me to grab one of those bolts ? You want the bolt from the header pipe where it connects to the center pipe with resonator ... or did I miss the boat ?

You are correct, the bolts for the flang where the header pipe meets the resonator pipe - but I just need the dimensions. If you can pull one and measure the size/thread and the lag length, I can visit a hardware store or fastener supply depot.

If you were offering to send, that is very cool but it takes 8-11 working days for first class mail... and I am aiming to get my system on next weekend.

Now maybe CHARLIE has one of them just lying around :D....

Im looking for a rear section for my 85 300TD wagon. Its proving to be an uphill battle so far. Every place I look up shows it exists in their system but never in stock or discontinued.

One place can order the rear section direct from ANSA, but quoting minimum $220. I have the middle section, but I dont want to put it on till I have the rear.

Front seems still in good shape. Im trying to go Canadian to save on time and shipping costs, but its also an uphill battle...

Did you manage to find something or piece one together in the end?

Im considering doing one myself, just buy the muffler part and piece togetehr piping myself and weld it up, (I guess I shouldnt say "just" because I konw it will be more than just putting one made to fit...

Any Ideas?

In the end
 

The end came faster than expected. The whole system collapsed on me on a Sunday afternoon.

It's rare that my local supplier can deliver on larger items (vs. US prices) but this time she delivered a jaw-dropper, the front and back sections for way less than US online suppliers. The mid pipe is Walker and the rear section is Ansa. Of course this is a sedan. Supposedly I got the very last Ansa one in Canada (came all the way from Vancouver).

I had the shop do it.

I had to get the bolts for the flange between the front pipe and the mid section, as well as the flange itself, from the dealer as the indy suppliers were out of stock on any hardware items. Word to the wise: the flanges are thicker on aftermarket than OE pipes. The bolts could barely be threaded and worked loose after less than a week. My shop sourced some other hardware for it.
