EXHAUST PIPE !

Post by 4x4rookie »

Anyone have a view on an exhaust system made up entirely of stainless flexible tubing ?
Have off road nissan safari with after market turbo fitted with 3in drop down exhaust pipe joined onto usual standard safari exhaust system.
Exploring removing all the old system and running 3 in straight out the back with no silencers/boxes etc.
Thought stainless flexi pipe could work as easy to fit to existing 3 in pipe and easy to bend and run out the back with no welding or mechanical bending.
Anyone done this ? Recommend type of pipe ? Where to buy and price ?
Cheers

The flexi doesn't last anywhere near as long as pipe does. Also it can't do tight radius bends. It might do the job, but for how long?
Try any exhaust shop, or truck parts supplier.
3" is on the small side so you may have to wait for them to get some in.

Be better getting steel pipe.... Otherwise when you come to get wof it will have leaks in it

Go 3inch flexi to take flex out of exhaust before you join it to 3inch steel exhaust
