A look at the XS-P headers flex pipe
Saturday, Nov. 22nd.
i was driving around my county just for a little time with my car and since i was near the exhaust shop where aznbo187 has gotten his ATLP prototype made, i said why not visit them and ask them about the flex pipe.
So i pull in... and... right to work
off with the flex pipe..
this is how it looks..

the worker there said this POS is pretty cheap looking.

he said something about the inside being broken and on the outside, you'll never know.
but hey, i got my little buzzing sound gone.
what did i get it replaced with??

yup.. THAT.. name of it?? no idea... for $65 i say it was alright.
but it comes off of a RSX-S stock piping..
says he replaces most flex pipes with those and fixed broken flex pipe problems..

thats what i said when i was lookin at it.. but i said.. i'd rather lose SOME power than have this annoying buzzing noise. haven't driven my car hard yet as i'm running a funky setup on my wheels.. lol

The joint isnt a bottle neck. but i would have rather had a better flex pipe welded in.

thats a way better flowing design than the current XS style. i noticed it was a crappy design when i first bought the headers.
