Hey guys I was just wondering what exactly a flex pipe is made out of? I know its purpose and how it works and why someone would need one. But I don't know exactly what it is made of. I see the braided steel wires, but is that all it is? I would think that the exhaust would be able to leak through that. Anyways thanks in advance!
the braided part is just to keep the actual flex part from stretching out too far and breaking. it looks like a bendy straw underneath
my header dosent, its just the braided steel, guess i found whats causin my leak

how do you know its just the braided steel if its on your car? how long have you had it on? the flex pipe can stiil break underneath the braided part and leak.
cuz i put it on my self about 2 weeks ago and had an exhuast shop weld it up, im pissed they didnt say anythin about it when they were setting up the lower end

go back and just tell them to weld in solid pipe. you dont really need the flex pipe. if you try to get them to weld in a real flex pipe it will be expensive( not worth it IMO )
