The exhaust flex pipe is a key component of your exhaust system, designed to absorb vibrations from the engine. Thanks to this flex pipe, your exhaust line remains flexible. These flex pipes are made from stainless steel, except for the crimping which is in regular steel. They are intended to be welded directly onto the exhaust line.
When Should You Replace an Exhaust Flex Pipe?
Despite being made of durable stainless steel, the flex pipe's lifespan is finite. Its structure is inherently susceptible to wear and tear. Over time, the wires in the mesh may break, which increases the tension on the remaining wires. Eventually, when too many wires have broken, exhaust gases can start to escape. This issue becomes immediately apparent, as the flex pipe is situated just before the silencer. If the flex pipe is damaged, engine noise can leak through it, resulting in a noisier vehicle. Regular inspections and timely replacements are essential to avoid exhaust leaks and keep your ride quiet.
