It will rust out at every bend and clamp that you use. The Jerk 05-06-2002, 01:23 PM damn, oh well, ill just take it to teh place when i get my brakes done! thanks, jiMMy Old Scout 05-06-2002, 01:31 PM Just do what I did. Get a few of these: http://www.jcwhitney.com/images/imagecache/I6120.gif and some straight tube and hangers and go to town. http://www.jcwhitney.com/product.jhtml?CATID=14721&BQ=jcw2 ChiScouter 05-06-2002, 01:46 PM Every time I have ever gotten a custom exhaust system I have cringed at the workmanship, fit, routing, and bizzare use of hangers I see. I am strongly considering using that flex pipe for some tight compound angle bends with my new engine. If it is 304 stainless how is it going to rust through?

I have about 1.5 ' of flex tubing. But, this is the stuff from a big truck supply store at approx. 93 cents an INCH. This is good stuff. Bent is cheaper (less expensive) but i had a wierd bend.
