Hi

With my engine in position and the output flange parallel with the diff flange, I need to correct the angle of the output on my manifold by about 4degrees to have the silencer fit inside the sill section.

Originally I was thinking I'd need to chop and weld a 2" dia bend section into the manifold, but I'm now wandering whether I could get away with a flexible exhaust joint, like one of these:

What's the consensus on this idea - a decent solution, or a bit of a bodge?

Your example is for anti vibration, not misalignment. I used a Truflex section ( 2.25' 57mm TRUFLEX STAINLESS FLEXIBLE EXHAUST PIPE BEND | eBay), saved a lot of time and head scratching, not cheap though.

Interesting, thanks for the link. Looks a little long for my application but will have a look for a smaller version. Failing that, seems like they sell suitable pre-bent lengths of stainless tube if I decide to go down the welding route.

Just beware that flexi joints are not designed to support the weight of an exhaust in the way a solid tube could. Typically a tin top will have an exhaust hanger near a flexi joint.
