Default Stainless steel braided exhaust??

I was on the freeway today and saw a truck that had what looked like stainless steel braided lines for a good portion of the exhaust. It was like 3" thick steel braided. Anyone ever heard of this, tried it, etc? Seemed like a decent alternative to expensive custom exhaust work since the braided lines can bend... What do you guys think?

I've never seen steel braided exhaust, but I've seen something similar.

It's like dryer ducting, but it's all metal. It's more or less meant to be a band-aid for exhaust leaks/missing parts of the exhaust.

Was that in response to me or just the OP? J/W.

Stuff I'm thinking of isn't steel braided.
