Shops are quoting me 200 bucks to change a flex section on my budget y pipe. The whole friggen pipe costs a bit more than that!!

If anyone changed their flex how much you guys paid?

 

yeah, they tried to charge me that down here in MD, i just went ahead and bought another one, which i suggest you do.... becuase i know that leaking flex pipe sounds horrible.

 

YES IT SOUNDS LIKE HORSES ****!!!

sounds like my car got a cough it cant get rid off

 

Mine cost 30 bucks to weld on

 

HOW! did u buy a flex and just told them to cut the old one of and put a new one in?

 

Correct, call some mom and pop exhaust shops.

 

mom and pop?

 

he is saying to call his parents.

 

Or that haha.

Non commercial shops, owned my the locals. I guess its a small town thing

 

LAWL!

 

...giggles

 

Where do you buy just the flex section???

 

Sometimes the shop itself will have it or you can get them on ebay or summittracing.com. I would guess it needs to be the material the budget y pipe is made of cause people avoid welding different metals together like the plague.(Meaning like stainless to mild steel).

 

hey where r u located? my uncle owns a work shop in north brunswick, lemme know i mite be able to help u out...

 

you can buy a bare flex from LSS (I think). but for the price of shipping etc, it makes more sense to get it from a lical muffler shop. any shop should have it. just make sure the diameter isnt too small.

 

question " what is a lical muffler shop? " is that like a specialist or something he should go to??? ...........

 

lol ok ok ya got me!!

 

i hope mine doesn't rust out :P My budget does like very rusted in the flex section

 

Get a 3ply flex from ebay.

 

Where's it leaking at? If it isn't all rusted out you can wrap it w/ header wrap...

I got some of the fiberglass ish' from Summitracing for like $10.00 and wraped my SS upipe w/ it - got rid of every bit of "bees in the can" sound I had.

But I guess it depends on what exactly is wrong w/ yours...
