you really probably need some sort of stress relief between the dp and exhaust, otherwise it could stress the manifold and precipitate cracking. i have one ~

best way is flex pipe and those OEM style bolts that use springs. GOOD LUCK!

could i weld on a flex exhaust tubing like the one they have a the auto parts that looks like an ac duct tubing? it's the kind that flexes & stays in the position you leave it in. :o

You need a real flex pipe. The crazy straw stuff at the auto store isn't the same thing. I've learned the hard way that w/o a flex pipe, you're only as strong as your weakest weld point.

factory spring bolts and ball socket flanges blow ass, and if you just directly weld them together something will break.. exhaust hanger, downpipe weld, something.. I have had all kinds of ---- break..
