123tom123tom Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 am putting a 3" bore by 6" long flexi into my exhaust system, but was wondering do i have to put it in the down pipe from the turbo or can i put it in the start of the second decat.... or will there be too much strain on it there.

bignum Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 It needs to go in the downpipe really, then a support bracket of some kind fixing the end of the exhaust/2nd cat to the gearbox to take the weight of the exhaust and stress off the flexi.

Yes agreed, mine is in the down pipe just before the join, but i went for a 3" long, i also modified the original stay that fits to the gearbox.

That sounds like a right pig of a job, especially as there isn't that much room there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
