Flex Pipe

[Duster_71]

Anyone running a flex pipe between their header and exhaust pipe? I was advised to install them if I modify my exhaust. Thinking about hooker type headers to Doug's.

I personally hate flex pipe and is the first thing I tear off a car

Ya use flex pipe if you want your exhaust to fall off !!!

My duster had flex pipe on it from the head pipes out with mufflers in between and it leaked so bad there was barely any sound behind the car

It was on a 68 roadrunner I bought way back and it came apart and looked like a slinky. And the exhaust fell off.

There are two things that make a car look like no one cared, and that is flex exhaust pipe and universal radiator hoses.

Move a way from the flex pipe sir.

Unless your talking the expensive stainless weaved flex? I have used these with excellent results. Just for that little bit of give in the system. Especially at the down tube, right before the "H" pipe. You only need one.

Something like this.

I used flex pipe long enough to break in my cam and then get it to the exhaust shop.

Don't know if it varies between states but my thinking was that it was not legal to use on autos.

Legal after the mufflers. Not before.

Yes, this is the type I was referring to. Wouldn't I need one for each side and are many people utilizing these or to say are they necessary?
