Clean install, LNDMISL!
Can I ask why you wanted to have those short flexes installed? I don't believe our cars have any flexes from the factory in that location..
Also, Is your car completely stock aside from the header installation? I'm asking simply because I ordered a set from the guys here in Toronto and they should be arriving next tuesday/wednesday so that I can install them.
In your honest opinion, do they make a decent power gain? Have you had Eurocharged tune the car for the headers? Any more gains after that?
Just a curious fellow GTA buddy.
thanks,
PMG

Aside from a cat back exhaust I only have headers for my major mod. It is night & day after I had Eurocharged dyno tune it. Slav & his guys are curtious and know what they are doing.
As for making decent power? I laid down 459 rwhp. I'm new to the scene, so I'm not sure if my numbers are low, high or in the middle?

Usually the flex pipes are used because the motor will torque and eventually when the mounts break and the motor moves even more it can cause headers to crack
If your mounts are good or you strap down the motor then flex pipes are not really needed

Slow Ones!
I'm about to have mine installed - I want to make sure I have all the right parts there at the shop that they will need.
My question is if I go with the flex pipes, do they delete the primaries? I would like to keep at least 1 set of cats in the exhaust.
My plan was to bolt these EC mids to the stock primaries and then delete the secondaries. Is this not a good route to go?
Thanks guys

None if using them correctly
Here it cones NEVER USE ON A BEND.
EXHAUST INTERLOCK FLEX is for TURBO AND PERFORMANCE cars.
Flexible pipe is engineered to isolate vibration generated by the engine, thereby relieving stress on your vehicle's entire exhaust system.They are designed to reduce the premature cracking of manifolds and down pipes and help extend the life of other components. They can also be used in certain turbo waste gate dump tube applications to absorb thermal expansion, thereby reducing stress on the turbo, Waste gate flange, and the tubing.
Braided Inner Liner provides laminar flow while retaining flexibility in the coupling itself, furthermore flexi pipes are made of stainless steel and aluminised ends. Clamp on Fexi pipes they come with steel extensions for ease of installation

old question I know but still a question you should have gotten an answer on straight away + they should have mentioned what type they used in their installation therefore my guess is they simply don't know and didn't do the installation themselves BUT should always be W Interlock else they got an expensive replace coming soon.

I have a set of headers (Kleeman) off an SLK 55 that have been sitting in the garage for a couple years. The installer dented in # 8 tube to get room to install the headers (moron). I should just get the dent fixed and sell em'.

thanks for the follow up, at the time of your post I just installed my LTH and checking all the pros cons to see if I did install correctly.
