That my friend is a 4.5" v-band flange that has a piece of 4" x 1/2" mechanicle tubing pressed into it. I had to turn the mechanicle tubing a little on a belt sander to get it to fit but it saved me $140 as apposed to having a flange turned at a machine shop. I left enough of the tubing sticking out to weld all three surfaces together. I still have a little work to do to it and dont know if i want to try and roll the edge of the flange to get it down to 4.4" or leave it alone. I still have to weld the v-band, mechanicle tubing and 3" exhaust bend together. Mabe later this week. By the way when tightened up the two surface mate very well and i dont forsee a leak if i leave the v-band alone.
