65515, Flex Pipe
Posted by OperationGS, Dec-31-03 06:53 AM
Does anyone know where I can get a performance flexpipe for my 95 Eclipse GS? The stock one is leaking like crazy. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thats what I figured I would end up having to do. Do you think I should have them put in 2.25" piping versus the stock 2.0" piping?

are you NA or turbo? what are your plans for it? if you want you can just get a catback exhaust from apex'i or some other vendor. where is the flex section that you needed?

and to answer your question:
2.25 is pretty small, i'd go 2.5, 2.75 but not 3" unless you were going turbo eventually

Im running NA and most likely will stay with that setup. I need the flex pipe between the exhaust manifold and the cat. I just ordered the magnaflow cat back system.

so you basically just need a new downpipe all together? check ebay or the sale/wanted section. make a thread in there and call it "WTB: stock downpipe"

Yep thats what I'm looking for...Thanks for the information. I will try it out for sure. I dont think I can handle the sound of that leak for much longer.

I say it's time for a header. As long as money permits.

Unless you replace the whole downpipe you'll have to stay with the stock size which is 2" You'd have to custom make anything bigger. Which again, your best bet is a header.

If you want a quick fix get an exhaust shop to repair it.

i agree with ^^^. stock flex pipe alone is over $200 from satan. OBX header (header and downpipe/flexpipe)is $200 on ebay. you do the math. reguardless of what some have said about the performance of aftermarket headers, i did notice a more better throttle response. besides, its lighter and looks better.
