User Experiences
Many users have found creative ways to utilize this flex pipe for various exhaust system repairs and modifications:
“I removed the old exhaust on a 1999 Dakota and put in a glasspack. Using this flex pipe I was able to connect the end of the glasspack back to what was left of the original exhaust pipe that goes over the rear axle. I needed something that would bend into an S-curve to make up the height difference. As you can see it worked fine and was easy enough to bend.”
