Default What does the stock flange look like?

Wondering what the stock 2 bolt flange looks like? I have the OBX LT's and Y pipe for a 1500 truck with a 2 bolt flange to mate up with the rest of my exhaust. Is the stock flange just a flat flange with a gasket, or is it a special flange with a ring type gasket? Just wondering because madman & co. said he wasn't sure what kind of flange I needed. Thanks in advance.

Here's a couple pics. No gasket. It's on the left side in both pics below.

That's what the outlet of the OBX y-pipe looks like (except it has no studs.) What does the mating flange look like? And, where could I get one?

It's a ball-flange with two holes and no gasket. Looks somewhat like this:

Any one know where I can find the flange I am looking for? It's the Ball side of the flange that'll fit into the flange pictured in thunder550's post up top.

Might try posting up in the classifieds and see if someone will cut one off their stock exhaust...or try and exhaust shop and see if they have any stock truck exhausts laying around.
