Exhaust flex section

I need a new flex section for my DP, anyone got any ideas of where I can get a good one? The first one lasted 1.5 years, which I figured was ok, it was leaking for a long time before it got bad. I bought a new flex and had a fabricator at my job weld it up, maybe 4 months ago, **** started leaking bad yesterday after I changed out the gasket on the end of the DP.

Has anyone bought a flex pipe, if so where, and how has it held up? Mine keep melting inside.

I had one that looked like this, I think it was Vibrant, not sure.

Nah, I have a spare stock downpipe if I wanted to do that. The stock one narrows down to about 2" inside, I need 3" all the way through this time, even the cat-back. Thanks though.

i've been looking at aftermarket flex pipe as well since i've started to see leaking out of mine. I believe the double walled interlock stainless steel flex pipes are the best you can get and don't cause a whistling sound which my cheap aftermarket one does on my weapon-r header.

I just go to my local parts store. When you by a flex section however, make sure you buy the kind that had the reinforced sectioned piece inside of it so the flex pipe doesn't expand inward blocking airflow.

Here is a link to the goods and you can choose your options for size and length:

Parks Automotive in Charleston literally has miles of exhaust parts. I walked back there with my buddy that works there and there is literally a 3 fricken story warehouse of exhausts and parts!

i believe thats the kind that i have on mine and its still starting to come apart, the interlock i've found on ebay and at zzperformance. Its a little more heavy duty and doesn't have such dramatic rippling inside the exhaust tubing. here's some links

I think the one I used for the Integra is made by Dynomax or Walker. I can't remeber off the top of my head, but I've put it through hell and it's been holding up fine.
