Product Overview
The 1 1/2 inch stainless steel exhaust flex pipe is designed for small to medium-sized automotive engines, light trucks, and industrial machinery. Its flexible corrugated construction effectively absorbs engine vibrations and compensates for thermal expansion, protecting connected exhaust components.
Material & Compatibility
Made from high-quality stainless steel, the pipe offers excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability under high-temperature exhaust conditions. It is compatible with OEM and aftermarket exhaust systems for both diesel and gasoline engines.
Applications & Installation
Commonly used in passenger cars, light trucks, small industrial engines, and generator exhaust systems. Installation should use compatible clamps or flanges, ensuring secure mounting without over-tightening to maintain flexibility.
