ss exhaust repair question

[geryS2]

ok, here is the problem,

well i got a full 3" exhaust, but this part seems in steel,

does anyone got the same system, or is it normally to be done fully in stainless steel ?

cheers

here is it when it was new

The flexi's are generally made from mild steel, just cut it out and weld in a new one. Make sure you use the right filler for welding mild steel to stainless steel, you need a 309 filler rod.

is it possible to put a flexi in stainless steel ?

cause to do this job , it s needed to get the full exhaust out, do not want to do it every 5 years

thanks for info

I don't think you can get them made from 100% stainless, the ribbed part that has rusted through in your first pic needs to be made from mild steel, stainless would work harden and fracture if used to make this part.

ok thanks again for info,

another question , where can we buy this part ?

Yes MIJ are a good supplier

Best ones around but far more expensive are from Witzenmann, which some models make use of an inner liner that makes it much more quiet and durable.
Will have a look @ work if i can source a supplier, i do think they have a Belgian resident factory/shop.

thanks big for that info, i was a bit surprised that this one lasted only 4-5 years, so a more durable is much welcome !

cheers ( btw i found that rear red panel, but very expensive)
