Location to weld in flexible exhaust?
«

Fitting a fall system soon, manifold to backbox. So I need to put in a flexible join to stop the manifold cracking.
So do I cut a section out the manifold and weld it in? Or do I cut and weld the de-cat? I don't want it flexing and banging on the tunnel.
Also what length? 150mm or 200mm and I'm right in thinking 2.25" 57mm?
Was looking at these

I'd always tend to weld them about 3-6 inches after the manifold comes into one a longer flexi will allow more flex but will be slightly weaker but if ur engine mounts are okay then ul be fine
