what size flex pipe to use with Kleemans to stock exhaust?
just as the subject says...
what size flex pipe (diameter and length) are you guys using?
also - good idea to extend the O2s to before the 2ndary cats ?

used flex pipe, and the guts that look like a chinese finger trap (mesh) part got distorted inside the flex pipe, and was blocking the majority of the flow... also saw(pics) it happened to someone else .... so I think you should use them as not to crack headers and what not.....Just don't skimp and get a decent quality.... ended up tearing out the distorted mesh guts from the flex pipe
good luck, I love my headers 
the car is a little stinky without cats I went Kleemans< 3in flex pipe< H pipe< 3in SS straight pipes< stock mufflers.

It is better to use them but if you keep your stock mid pipe on its original hangers, then you should be ok. Stock mid pipe is set up pretty well to absorb vibration and free to move better. The flex pipes can take up a lot of ground clearance if your car is lowered and you dont mount them high enough.
