StreetDemand on ebay anyone herd of it? Don't buy from them I guess is what im saying. I bought my headers and exhaust from them, its been almost 8 months, and now my flex pipe is leaking alot of air and sounds horrible. I can't contact the owner so Im pretty much in the pit. Does anyone know a good place to buy new flex pipe so I can weld it on?

4-2-1 two peice dc sports headers... Anyone happen to know the dimensions?

 

I can't relate to your particular header, but I have been through... maybe 4 flexpipes. If your header/exhaust isn't lined up just right, you will have this problem and it will happen over and over again. What finally fixed my problem was a "donut gasket" that is commonly used on civics and integras. If you ask your local exhaust/muffler shop, they should be able to order one for you for around $35.

 

ok cool, i gotta stop back over there later so ill ask them about it.

Thanks alot

 

Have you checked with local muffler shops?
Sucks to hear about another scam/bad service.

 

I went over to Midus but they said, "if I can get them the flex pipe, theyll weld it on for me". But I dont no the measurements, i did it roughly... 6"long with meddle ends, 4"long for just the flex part and anywhere from 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches in diameter..

 

If you're gonna just get another flex pipe, just make sure it's 2" diameter. The muffler shop will do the rest of the measuring/adjusting of the length if the flex won't join the pipes. If they can't handle that, they are incompetent for the job, much less working on a car.

 

ok cool, if this one goes on me ill ask about that donut gasket, but just another reason not to go with ebay. Save in the begining but get burried in the end =X

 

That's fine. My experiences found that the $35 donut gasket, which somehow eluded me for so long, was cheaper than the $50-60 for a hard-to-find flexpipe.

 

What place have you been going to? or is it just local in your town?

 

I have a friend at Meineke that I know and trust to do good work. Just find a place that has a clean, well equipped, well maintained shop. That should be your judgment of their quality of work.
