One of my flex pipe started making annoying noise. What would be the best way to replace them? Does anyone sells just the flex pipes or its just better buy new downpipes ? Im on gutted cats with stock dp and awe touring . Would love to avoid the cost new awe resonated downpipes (899). Thanks for your input

Why? A new OEM one will probably be close to the price of aftermarket ones?

wonder if these can be welded on when dps are still on the vehicle or dps can be brought to the shop separately. or they might need to have the vehicle present to tack weld the pipes first.

if i can bring the dp then that would be ideal. I can remove the dps pretty easily now that I've done it a bunch of times but not sure that some generic muffler shop can do it without effing the car up and charging a bunch of labor hrs. Do you have any muffler shop in the Bay area you can recommend, btw?

I didn’t see this until now. It probably needs to be tacked in place and then bench welded for best results. Kinda feel like you be too limited. My custom job just used these to make 2.5 new Dps.
