Nah. OEM-style 3" OD (or it could be c.3.25 or 3.5"?) - I'll measure tomorrow and post up.

Defo not 4" as my current system has a 4" tail and it's bigger than the Prodrive one.

I assume it's for a Classic as that is what it was sold to me as. It fitted an OEM pattern centre section (on my car) fine. Not sure whether the third hanger was used or not.

Sorry about the pics. The flange is weird - it sort of has a concentric recess in it i.e. not completely flat, like normal. I can't guarantee it not blowing after a while. You can try lots of sealant for sure; it'll no doubt be okay initailly... But for how long(?)

As I said, you can get flanges from the likes of Cobra (or off your exisiting OEM bb) and simply weld it on (after first cutting off the wierd one ).

It'd obviously be your call...
