There are some professional explanations about exhaust flex pipes.
The purpose of inventing flexible pipes is to absorb vibrations that occur when engines and vehicles move, and to prevent wear and tear on other car parts. It is sometimes called a flexible coupling.
In contrast to the exhaust manifold, which is usually made of cast iron, the material is a strong piece of corrugated steel. This material allows the hose to withstand greater pressure and is less likely to break.
1.5-inch exhaust flex pipe is a popular automotive exhaust system component today. It is 1.5 inches in diameter and is custom made for automotive exhaust systems that require a 1.5 inch inner diameter.
Its length is also very flexible and can be customized to suit the needs of the car, generally ranging from 6 inches to several inches in length.
Next, we will introduce the materials of flexible pipes.
This flexible pipe is innovated based on past experience and uses stainless steel that is stronger, more durable and more corrosion-resistant.Regarding "flexibility", it has better bending, can absorb vibration well, reduce pressure, has more flexible performance, and greatly reduces the occurrence of accidents such as wear and breakage.
Many people don't know how to use a flexible exhaust hose. I hope the following content can be helpful to you.
Before selecting or replacing, first measure the outer diameter of the exhaust pipe, and secondly measure the length. This length needs to be measured comprehensively, not just the visible part. What is needed is to measure from weld to weld to ensure that the entire length needs to be replaced. The length of the hose is accurate.
After determining the size, start purchasing through purchasing channels.
What you need to pay attention to when purchasing is that you must carefully identify whether the quality of the material used in the hose meets the standard. In order to save costs, some merchants may use ordinary steel or aluminized steel with an aluminum-based coating that is prone to corrosion and rust. These materials have a short shelf life and will shorten the life of the flexible pipe.
In addition, if there are some loose weave patterns on the outer and inner cladding, the flexibility of the hose will be lost, and the flexible pipe will stretch too far, which is not conducive to the normal operation of the car's exhaust system.
It is also possible that some factories use illegal manufacturing methods to crimp fittings together, causing water to remain in the crimped joints, thereby exacerbating the damage.
Resolutely resist unqualified exhaust flexible pipes! This is related to the performance of the car and our own safety. We must choose particularly strong and durable hoses.
