Can you use flexi exhaust pipe from the manifold to the exhaust pipe ?

Can you use flexi exhaust pipe from the manifold to the exhaust pipe because my steering rod fouls the path of the exhause and it will be very tricky to make a downpipe up.

It'll be going the wrong way if it's a downpipe and you make it up. I think Mark Allanson used some in his front section, try a search.

Got my flexible bits from the local factors, only £9.00 each Rescued attachment Exhaust2.jpg

Mark
do they weld on? or clamp on?

I have some nasty convoluted crappy stuff running from my downpipes to exhaust proper - yours looks better.

do they come longer? and how flexy (hard to describe I know) are they?

They come in various diameters and lengths, I welded (now there is a surprise!!), but your could clamp them just as easily Rescued attachment Flexies.JPG

if my beastie fails its noise test i'll be needing some of this stuff, to extend the exhaust away from the engine and add an extra silencer.

thx mark

. I used one of these to repair a Merc van exhaust, cut and shut weld job. They are available in various diameters but there is still a convoluted tube inside the mesh.
