Downpipe, why flexpipe?
Did a search and could not find the specific answer...
Is flexpipe only needed if you do a custom downpipe setup? Or can I use a testpipe with the original greddy downpipe? Why is this?
Going to 3" exhaust and need to know. Setup is a 18G Greddy turbo kit on B18b, 4 door LS. Thanks for any help. Going to order from Kteller most likely or go with Thermal Turbo from K-S..

Re: Downpipe, why flexpipe? (itr206)

you can either use a flex pipe or use spring bolts like they put on the cats from the factory, its user preference though. some use thme , some dont i just used one just for peace of mind.

Anyone else have any other opinions on this? Another post says 3" is too big for a basic Greddy setup. Running stock boost.

i just made a 3 in downpipe and exhaust for my car. i didnt use a flex pipe, yet. i will once i break a weld, and i am sure i will. you would be suprised how much your motor torques on stock mounts.
i would you use one if i were you
