[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 409505, member: 10304"] Yep the flex is fitted, the original 2" exhaust didn't have one which is plain insanity, the new 3" exhaust has it fitted. This was an essential element of the turbo upgrade, and no end of fun fabricating the header section down to the flange past the gearbox mounting. Then I handed it over to the exhaust guys to do the final run.

[img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/10304/1525569010_ex-tail-pipe.jpg[/img] I find it unbelievable that some vehicles are not fitted with the flex section, simply asking for trouble with torque movement. Guaranteed to break something, usually the turbo flange and that's an expensive fix for the sake of a $100 item, yet I have heard stories of exhaust builders saying "we don't fit them, not necessary" duhh!!
