Flexible exhaust parts

Today most cars have a flexible part in the front pipe of the exhaust. If the exhaust did not have a flexible part, the exhaust would probably break at the same point each time. The flexible part of the exhaust is in a place where a lot of vibrations and shocks from the engine take place. The flexible exhaust piece was therefore created to be able to move with the engine, to prevent the exhaust parts from tearing or breaking. The flexible exhaust part is made of a braided metal fabric or other movable construction and, like the other exhaust parts, is resistant to high temperatures. The flexible part is generally easy to replace and extends the life of the entire exhaust.

Flexible part exhaust leaks

The flexible part of the exhaust has a long life, but it can also break. Over time, the wires in the metal fabric will tear, eventually causing a leak. Because the flexible exhaust piece is already in front of the resonator and the backbox, the engine noise will no longer be muffled if the exhaust part is leaking. You can therefore quickly recognize a leak in the flexible part by the loud engine noise, which will be clearly audible. Fortunately, a new flexible part for the exhaust is often relatively cheap and easy to replace.

You can easily unscrew these clamps, after which the part can easily be removed and replaced.
