anything better than a flex pipe?

is there anything that is a better replacement for the flex pipe on an R/T?

Thanks,

Upper one at the cat inlet, or the lower one at the outlet? (If equipped)

There isn't really any better one available for the upper one, other than cutting the existing one off, and using a universal one, and hoping the length is close enough. The lower one can be eliminated.

I replaced my rotting out cat with a direct fit Magnaflow, but their inlet design is not as smooth as the oem. Whatever their cat brick may gain in flow, it is lost before it gets there.

You really need to put your model year in your sig.

the one that comes right off the header. i know the older accords and some neons use a kind of flange with flex springs... im not sure that would be 100% true though.

also, at the u pull, there is a flex pipe, but it's more a bellows type one.. is there a difference?

well if there were something better, don't you think it would be easily found by using the search button?
