Default Downpipe Flange Question

Ok, I was just wondering how my downpipe is going to be built. I mean will the muffler shop have a flange for the DSM O2 housing. It looks pretty standard, a 2 bolt flange. Do they have these on hand or do I have to buy one and take it to them. Also, the flange that conects to the catty, will they have that on hand? Sorry for all the newbie questions. I only have one car and cant afford the downtime while they make or order a flange. :P

I dont need the flange that addapts to the hotside of the turbo. I have an O2 housing, I need a flange that connects to this. looks like the same flange that mates the cat an downpipe. roadraceengineering.com sells them for $10. just checking if I can get the flange NE where else.

Ok, heres a pic of the flange I need.

I read that the same flange mates w/ the catty and the O2
housing. So back to my original question, wont the muffler
shop have this flange? When I take my car to have a downpipe
made there shouldnt be any complications right? I mean Its
the same flange for the catty so it will work... i hope.

IMO if the muffler shop don't have a flange like that I wouldn't be taking my car to them. YOu should be able to get one anywhere, the one on your cat should be close to fitting on there so I can't see why a muffler place wouldn't have one, if worst comes to worst you could make one yourself, a little plate, drill the big hole with a hole saw and the other two holes with a regular drill bit...
