A flex pipe is a corrugated tube with an outer mesh designed to allow movement in the exhaust to prevent breakage and reduce vibration in the passenger cabin. OEM manufacturers use high quality flex connectors and many aftermarket units are of extremely low quality. Most have no inside liner, some have a mesh interior liner.
We use an inner-lock design on our flex pipes just as the OEM units to ensure long life and durability. If you are looking for flex pipes for sale, this is your stop!
Generally you need to replace the entire unit OR trust a exhaust repair shop to cut out the old unit and weld in a flex. Most repair shops use the lowest quality and cheapest flex pipe possible , and charge a small fortune. As a result, most consumers simply purchase a new complete unit. We have developed a solution to the most common vehicles on the road today; the Muffler Express Flex Repair pipes! Our repair pipes allow you to replace the broken or worn flex connector on your vehicle with a high quality item. We develop these from an OEM exhaust part and size it to slide overtop of your existing pipe. Most come with a flange on one side to bolt in the factory location, so only 1 cut is required. On a scale of 1 to 10 for a DIY job, this comes in at a 5 in terms of difficulty for the average user. Check out our selection of Flex Repair pipes, with applications added weekly!
