Default Where to find 3" flexpipe?

I've looked on ebay but they had the really long flexpipes and was looking for the short chubby pieces. Racing Solution on carries 2.5" and I didn't see any on LSD's site. Any other suggestions otherwise I may just skimp on it since the engine doesn't rotate that much enough to snap it since it's an inline 6 in my Z and the exhaust rubber mounts "should" take up some of the engine movement play I would think.

Default Re: Where to find 3" flexpipe? Exhaust setup?

I checked out the ones on ebay but only once and awhile do the short flex sections come up otherwise they have those longass horsecock flexpipes. I may go Ice T and say ---- it and just not run a flexpipe and keep it OG. I was gonna make a seperate thread about this but I'll just include it here.

For the exhaust it's going to be 3" all the way back from the snail but I'm not sure what to do for a muffler or to even go with one. Right now it has a Supertrapp that I hate with a passion. I'm not sure if I want to toss a canister on there cause I don't want something big hanging off the back all blingy. More likely whatever goes on back there will get painted flat black. How would just two resonators sound like and then I would just toss a tip at the end?

if you dont run a flex, you will be tightening your turbo-manifold bolts weekly, breaking downpipes, and making bolts walk out of your exhaust. not that i would know or anything

a buddy of mine gave me a 3" flex to use in my exhaust, its a spoolin one. and its broken apart. i have a pretty good exhaust leak there due to it seperating. im gonna buy one of the long horsecock ones off ebay, they will prob hold up longer

Keep in mind that this isn't for a civic so it doesn't rock front and back since for a rwd setup and it'll be using a V-band setup for the Holset. The engine doesn't really move that much from side to side either.

I cracked dps and exhuast all the time without!

I just bought my from my new supplier. 26.00 and some change Canadian for 3" and 21.00 for 2.5". Found them on Ebay and contacted them directly. Nc part is they are Canadian so there is no currency change and shipping is cheap!
