LF: BOV welding

Don't know where to go to get my bov taken off my current pipe and welded on a new piece of pipe. Any ideas on how much or where i can go?

Need this asap.. thanks

steel or alum?

i haven't bought the pipe yet and the flange is currently on this pipe. Don't know if i need to buy a new flange or whatnot.

I've done a fair number of these. If it's aluminum then it's fairly easy to cut it off the old one and put it on the new one. Bear in mind the old pipe will not really be re-usable. With steel a lot of times they warp when they're welded. New weld flanges are usually only $20-$30 so it's easy to consume that in labour cutting and grinding the old flange to prep it for re-welding.

In any event, while possible to do either you're probably better off to just buy a new flange and get it welded on.
