FLEX PIPES ARE A COMPONENT OF MANY MODERN EXHAUST SYSTEMS, ESPECIALLY IN FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES. THEY ARE DESIGNED TO ALLOW FLEX IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO PREVENT HARD COMPONENTS FROM CRACKING OR BREAKING. THIS IS IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY IN FRONT DRIVE VEHICLES BECAUSE OF INCREASED STRESS ON THE EXHAUST DUE TO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION LOCATION. THEY ARE TYPICALLY 4-10 INCHES IN LENGTH AND CONSIST OF THIN STAINLESS STEEL FORMED INTO AN ACCORDIAN SHAPE AND SURROUNDED BY BRAIDS OF STAINLESS STEEL WIRE MESH. OFTEN TIMES THESE FLEX PIPES ARE LOCATED WITH OTHER COMPONENTS, SUCH AS CATALYTIC CONVERTERS OR Y-PIPES, THAT MAKE THESE WHOLE PIECES COSTLY TO REPLACE. AT LOU’S CUSTOM EXHAUST WE CAN CUT OUT YOUR BROKEN FLEX PIECE FROM ITS LARGER COMPONENT AND WELD IN A NEW FLEX PIPE, WITHOUT HAVING TO REPLACE OTHER, MORE COSTLY, PARTS THAT ARE STILL IN WORKING CONDITION.

"I had Lou's install an x-pipe with Magnaflow straight pipe mufflers that I saw on a video clip. The system rocks with a mean low end rumble when idling and really screams when you step on it!!! The install was done perfectly and I have shown everyone with the response of WOW!!! I will be back to have c.a.r.b legal headers installed next. Thanks for a great job!!!I had Lou's install an x-pipe with Magnaflow straight pipe mufflers that I saw on a video clip.
