well im in the market for a flex pipe... mine is starting to crack from scrappin on the ground....

saw these on flea-bay...

def cant afford 400+ headers...if so i will only the flex pipe...


was wonderin if anyone know about these

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

 

the only good part on these is the top pieces the rest your gonna have to have made

 

huh....3 parts.... headers...down pipe..n flex pipe...what are you talking about?

 

they look just like my megan racing headers...p.s. they rnt racing headers...racing is just part of the name...

megan used^^ ends in 2 days...but i think he says it has a dent..not feeling it

 

those might not b megans...if he only had a pic of the badging on it then u can b sure...

almost all the megan downpipes have a small flexpipe in the front where the front headers come down...just like the 1st link he provided...

 

If all that's wrong is the flex pipe, you may just need to have a new one welded in, unless the whole flex pipe assembly is cheaper . .

Here's an example:

I wouldnt touch those with 2 flex pipes.


Just buy a new flex pipe. I replaced mine for like 40 bucks

 

that part is good.... it has a lil tiny crack right b4 that...lil bit of air flows...only feel if u get real close.... but still the lil bit of sound it makes is drivin me nuts...


y not??.... im wondering....whats the difference with these n expensive ones... isnt a pipe jus a pipe?.... what am i missin?

 

If the leak isn't at the steel mesh-webbing, then it should be a simple weld job. Most shops have TEG welders, which is what you need to weld stainless steel.

As for the cheap stuff, well the welds aren't as good or clean, thinner steel mesh-webing are some of the things I seen. And since I have XS headers and have seen CTs, there is a difference, plus I've had some leaks myself.

2 flex joints = cheap design, more restriction, more to fail and leak.

 

i do see that....thought it was stock..cant picture my down pipe rite now...ohwell..ill see what i do but wont be buyin...

 

Stock has 1 flex pipe as do the good headers.

 

pm richie v6, he has a few sets of headers left, like the xs but with better welds and one flex pipe. saw them in person and a few members are running them already

 

I got a question.
If you did'nt have any headers and could get a set of the same two flex pipe designed ones for 46 shipped would it be worth a shot.
Has any body seen gains from these?

 

Gains aren't really the problem, it's fitment.

 

ones with two flex pipes dont fit right, hence having the 2nd flex pipe so it fits a bit better. also take into account, thinner steal is used so u will have resonance, quality of welds and flex pipes. buy it once, and install it once. its a PITA to install headers.

 

auction is over in 4 min.Just looking to see if I would see a gain.Cuz I'm broke but want some

 

2 min getem or no

 

u would see a gain but for a short time, than u need to replace the flex pipes or weld a solid pipe in where the 2nd flex pipe is in. but the concern is still with the cheap thin metal used.

 

just missed them.

not worth it. calculate the time and cost of welding in a straight pipe in place of the 2nd flex pipe, and a few thousand miles down the road replacing the flex pipe. u will still have the resonance problem, and that will kill u

 

Shipping is not refundable on ebay. So if you think about it, the guy is trying to sell them as a no return item which means, it may not be the best of quality.

 

i decided not to go with ebay....ill check up on richie v6...
