To the OP. did you ever find where to get the small flex joints? I tried emailing the company that came up with this kit but they didn't respond. I am also looking for a flex joint like the one on the wastegate dump tube.




edit. they do sell one that's 1.5 in but not really what I'm looking for.

1.5 PIPE = 1.90" OD. 2" Flexes may work better.
1.25 PIPE = 1.660" OD, 1.75" Flex may work.

They aren't suppose to flex so you can bend them on a radius. They are suppose to be used so if there is any movement in the exhaust from the engine revving/manifold expanding.
