Default turboflex s-pipe coupling (flex pipe).

Hey guys i'm buying a felx pipe, but there are so many that i'm not sure which one to get. I spoke to Paul from Dezod and he said one flex pipe as close to the subframe as possible welded into the s-pipe should pretty much do a job of eliminating manifold crack.

now another question is what is the difference between braided liner and interlock liner ? and what size should i get as far as lenght ?

thanks guys.

get interlock liner

the longest you can fit - as far as straight pieces on the s-pipe your limited to a 6" piece max

Rus check out mandrel-bends.com they have flex pipes ranging from1.50-3.50 inches.
There prices are pretty decent but the only thing is you'll have to get it welded at a shop. Good luck

hey guys so pretty much ordering the flex pipe now.. quick question before i hit it.
Do you gutys think that one flex in the s-pipe would be enough for manifold not to crack anymore or should i weld one in the s-pipe and one in the d-pipe ?
also does anyone know what bracing means as far as bracing the engine or pipes ?
Paul from dezod told me 1 flex in the s-pipe is good enough as it's my pivot point.( Don from Dezod told if i really wanted for manifold to not even have a chance of cracking to brace it but i have no idea what that is)

all right, just ordered 4" vibrant turboflex pipe, $46 shipped. I went with 4" just to be sure it fits in the s-pipe. I think it should be almost as good as having 6" and definately better then having nothing.
