What is a Flex Pipe?
A flex pipe, also sometimes known as a flex coupling, is a
section of bellowed steel that is designed to absorb vibrations from the
engine and from the motion of the vehicle, which prevents other
components from being broken or cracked.
Some parts of the exhaust system such as exhaust manifolds, (which are
often made of cast iron) are brittle and easily break. Flex pipes
prevent these components from being exposed to excessive stress.
How to use this flex pipe.
Measure the inner diameter (ID) of your exhaust pipe where you will be
installing the flex pipe. Then, measure the length of the flex pipe that
you are replacing. Our flex pipes come with universal extensions
already welded on to the flex. Extensions give you the option to expand
the pipe size, if needed. Extensions allow for easier installation in
some situations, and also allow for clamping. However, we always
recommend welding to ensure a proper seal. If your application requires a
flex pipe next to an exhaust flange, DO NOT weld the flex pipe directly
to the flange. Instead, weld it to exhaust pipe and weld the pipe to
the flange. Flex pipes are NOT intended to replace bends such as those
found in tailpipes. Flex pipes are NOT intended to be installed near the
engine as it will cause it to overheat. Such use is likely to damage
the flex.
Original Euro Flex Pipes.
Flex pipes can be made from a variety of different materials and can
also differ in their construction techniques. Some companies use
ordinary steel and/or may use aluminized steel (ordinary steel with an
aluminum-based coating) which can rust and corrode. These materials
typically do not last very long compared to stainless steel.
Additionally, many competitors will crimp the fittings together, which
allows water to become trapped in the crimped joint, encouraging
corrosion. Some flex bellows are formed as a continuous helix, which can
create exhaust turbulence and, in general, indicates that poor
construction techniques are used. Competitors also have a loose braid
pattern on the outer and inner coverings, which allows the flex to
stretch too far, causing premature failure.
We do not compromise on our flex pipes! Not only are they lined with
stainless steel, corrugated flexible tubing, but also have inner and
outer stainless steel braiding for added protection against rust. The
double braid pattern is tightly woven to make them extra strong and
heavy duty, as we believe that you want the best product for your money
and that is why we do not offer second rate quality products.
