rpslaughter1982 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 My exhaust currently has no flex in it. It is solid from the turbo to the backbox. I have a Nur Spec which obviously has no flex and the de-cat and turbo downpipe are the same. What do people do about this? I have a flex joint which can be welded in but what is the best position or is it neccessary? many thanks Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 make sure you have the gear box mount bracket on your gear box, to end of down pipe, this should limit/rule out any flex in the manifold. the rest of the system is on rubber hangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 It's a good idea to have a flex - not least if someone bumps into you from behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone actually fitted a flex pipe to their exhuast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I had one welded into my old car when I went single, I had it in the downpipe about 1 1/2 foot from the turbo. I thought it would be a good idea as I didn't want the entire system relying on the exhaust rubbers for movement and flexibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
