Flexable exhaust pipe
iianorthants:
we buy flexi pipe from the local auto suppliers, as 1/5th the prices as Demontweeks/motec, cost about £15 for two meters and is very nice for replacing the front flexi joint on the disco's.
landyman Ash:
Can you tell me which local supplier as Im struggling to find it anywhere at the moment!! Cheers

--- Quote from: "Hobbit874" ---Saw a nice bobtail rangy the other week, his exhaust was this piping, but his back bumper was a 2 inch hollow pipe mounted across the back, the flexi was then mounted into this pipe, and the fumes came out of the ends of the bumper

Neat concept, but dangerous. After a run the bumper will be hot enough to cause serious burns. It's certainly not a sensible option for a street driven vehicle or anyone who's got kids.

I agree but I would insulate it. Ive run pipes through body panels and up the roll cage before and all have been heavily insulated (very cheap and easy to do) so there would be no risk of heating the cross member. Also that gives risk to metal chassis distortion so again I would not risk that.
