Exhaust question

[roadboy]

hey, im currently running a 3" custom exhaust, has flex and cat.
is it possible to remove the flex for some piping and just leave the cat by itself?
Thanks.

yes, why take out the flex though?

 

[roadboy]

its at a place where it always scrapes over speed bumps, it was done by the previous owner... and while i have extra 3" piping i was thinking if i should just remove the flex.

^^^ Don't bottom quote. It's annoying.

Is the flex section on the downpipe or the exhaust? Is it one of George's systems?

leave the flex and shorten the pipe above it to raise it up above the frame rail. What dp? my defcon is an inch below the frame rail and ive split it open on speed bumps.

the flex section is your friend! it will allow some give which will keep the header studs in the head and other pieces from being split open

sorry about bottom quoting. um the flex is right where it starts to straighten out from the dp. how often do you change the flex?
its custom from somewhere, not one of George's systems.

a better place for flex pipes are the ones build into the DP.

^ LOL...oh yea for flex pipes there are slip-fit and weld on's,
is it possible to weld a slip-fit one?

nuts, my flex is in the downward section of the dp. How ever id still leave the flex alone and raise it up like i mentioned above. You NEED it man. The tension on the head or turbo flange was never in the design plans with an aftermarket (NOT perfect fit) dp involved.
