Wanting to plumb my external into the Down Pipe but finding it hard to source a short 38mm flexi.

Is it a neccessity to have a flexi in the return pipe? Does it depend on the design/length/thickness of piping?

Otherwise, does anybody know of a supplier of SHORT 38mm flexi's? Have only found 200mm which is way too long.

Thanks.

YES

it'll crack, then you re-weld, and will crack again and so on and so fourth if you don't.

i saw some on trademe the other day actually.

had been wondering this myself as about to plumb back in.

stock exhaust off gt starlet, have nice short ones, that are the correct diameter as well. may not look so pretty tho

I got mine off a ee90 corolla. No not pretty but it was free, and right diameter.

i get mine from chase exhaust components in penrose,
not sure if they have 38mm ones thou, and they usually have short ones as well.

I would have used a short one but price put me off, would definately look alot tidier.

Cheers guys and thanks for the link but I've already seen those.

As I said 200mm is too long unfortunetly.

flyer got sent aroudn to warrant places showign them a picture of a external venting to atmo, saying that is illegal,

the fact that they showed pictures on it clarified them and cleared any doubts, so technically you should not be passed anymore.

So do they fail on the noise issue or the fact that the exhaust exits in front of the passenger compartment?

by **crispy'86** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 5:28 pm

the fact that the external wastegate pipe is classed as part of the exhaust system and should therefore be plumbed into the exhaust system.

by **IH8TEC** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 5:37 pm

nah it's the forward of the passenger compartment

Is a Flexi definitely needed for a fwd plumb-back WG?
