Flex Pipe Question

[meangreenLXi]

Is there a performance flex pipe? If I put a pacesetter header on, won't the flex pipe be restrictive?

pacesetter doesnt have a flex section. i am not 100% sure, but i think the pacesetters should be 2 peice, like the DC sports, and if so i think its a 2" downpipe. if you really wanted to you could have an exhaust shop chop off the downpipe and run a 2.5" or 2.25" and then include a flex section.

The flex pipe looks restrictive, I just replaced the flex because it was on it's last leg, i'm getting a pacesetter(ps) header, won't I need the new flex pipe? I hear the ps joint flex sux?

yeah youll need a flex pipe, the pacesetter is 3 different pieces, just install the thing, then have the muffler shop cut it right after two pipes become one, and install and flex there, with 2.25" piping alllllllllll the way back!
