Default flexible exhaust pipes

i saw these flexible exhaust pipes the other day and i was wondering if they would work as good as the solid exhaust pipes. they were flexible b/c it is a bunch of joints held together. its 2.25 to 2.5 inches if you were wondering

Yeah, I've never heard of anything like that... I know that most downpipes have a flex section in them to reduce vibration, but I'm guess that that's not what you're talking about?

no its not the flex part from the downpipe, it was like 6 ft long. i dont know too much about the exhaust but i found these mixed in with all the other exhaust pipes and thought it was an exhaust pipe. o well

If they are what Im thinking they are they are junk. NEVER use those. At best they are only good for a quick fix for a tractor or something.

this>>> http://www.rosedikart.com/exhaust_silencers.htm if this is what Im thinking you are talking about. There are actually 2 kinds of flexible exhaust pipe. The others are better (althought I still wouldnt use it). But if the last 2 pics in this link is the one you seen, dont use it.

What are you trying to accomplish that you want to use a flex pipe? Of all the half-assed exhausts I have had over the years I still never ventured into the "metal dryer vent" exhaust. You can buy pipes that are pre- bent and non vehicle specific if money is the concern, also it shouldn't cost too much to have a shop bend the pipes for you.

Don't use those pipes, the guy that has my car before me put one on there and it started leaking like a bitch, you bend it twice and it's screwed. I pulled if off and welded a solid piece...Stay away from flexpipes/bendable exhaust bs!
