Flexible exhaust parts

A flexible exhaust part is, as the name suggests, an exhaust piece which is provided with a flexible part. This flexible part ensures that the vibrations and shocks of the engine are absorbed. This is very useful, because it ensures that the other  exhaust parts such as the manifold and the catalytic converter do not break as quickly. This will save you a lot of money because the exhaust parts need to be replaced less often. With a flexible part, the life of the entire exhaust is extended! The exhaust pieces are universal, so look carefully at the specific dimensions of the part. These dimensions can be found in the product specifications. Does the flexible part need to be replaced? Take a quick look at what the quality brands such as  Carpoint, FA1 and Bosal have to offer.

Today most cars have a flexible part in the front pipe of the exhaust. If the exhaust did not have a flexible part, the exhaust would probably break at the same point each time. The flexible part of the exhaust is in a place where a lot of vibrations and shocks from the  engine take place. The flexible exhaust piece was therefore created to be able to move with the engine, to prevent the exhaust parts from tearing or breaking. The flexible exhaust part is made of a braided metal fabric or other movable construction and, like the other exhaust parts, is resistant to high temperatures. The flexible part is generally easy to replace and extends the life of the entire exhaust.

Flexible part exhaust leaks

The flexible part of the exhaust has a long life, but it can also break. Over time, the wires in the metal fabric will tear, eventually causing a leak. Because the flexible exhaust piece is already in front of the  resonator and the backbox, the engine noise will no longer be muffled if the exhaust part is leaking. You can therefore quickly recognize a leak in the flexible part by the loud engine noise, which will be clearly audible. Fortunately, a new flexible part for the exhaust is often relatively cheap and easy to replace.

Replace flexible exhaust pipe

Replacing a flexible exhaust part is not a difficult job. However, it is important to have the right tools at home so that you can work safely. The car will have to be jacked up with a  car jack. In addition, it is important to use  axle stands to properly support the car so that it is stable while you get started. In most cases, the flexible exhaust pipe is secured with clamps. You can easily unscrew these clamps, after which the part can easily be removed and replaced.
