Is there a flexible exhaust pipe?

The flex pipe is a type of tubing that connects the engine and exhaust system. Also called the exhaust flex pipe, it is made from strong yet malleable materials like steel alloy. The flex pipe absorbs the vibrations produced by your vehicle when you’re driving.

Is exhaust tubing an OD or ID?

Piping is most often measured in O.D. dimensions. It is designed to slip inside other components, most often a muffler. Mufflers and exhaust tips are most often measured in I.D.

Can you cut flexible exhaust pipe?

Flex Pipe is now ready to be cut. Cut through the tape. When measuring and cutting, keep the open side of the Flex Pipe to your right. To determine the open end, turn the end of the pipe toward you and look for the rings to wrap on top.

How is exhaust flex pipe measured?

Measure

Determine the length (X”) of pipe needed for your application by measuring the gap between the two pipes you intend to connect.
Allow a 3″ overlap at each end (add 6″ to the measurement of the gap). This is the length (Y”) of Flex Pipe needed.
Measure distance needed from the far right side inward.

How much does a flex pipe cost?

How Much Does a Flex Pipe Replacement Cost? A flex pipe replacement can cost around $50 to $175, depending on factors like brand, diameter, length, inlet diameter, and material. Labor may cost you an additional $115 to $150.

How is tubing specified?

Tubing is measured by the OUTSIDE DIAMETER (O.D.), specified in inches (e.g., 1.250) or fraction of an inch (eg. 1-1/4″). Pipe is usually measured by NOMINAL PIPE SIZE (NPS). Although it is related to the outside diameter, it is significantly different.

Does flex pipe bend?

To answer my own question, while flexpipe does flex, it is not meant to be flexed more than a very minimal amount, enough to compensate for any vibrations in the exhaust system.
