Flexi Exhaust Pipe

I did some searching and couldn't find the answer I needed.

Is there a difference between short and long flexi pipes?

I want to run a short one like below. My exhaust has a long one atm and its torn to pieces from scraping on speed bumps etc. Its the second one ive replaced for this reason....

If it has a long one on it already its probably been cut to that length so i doubt your be able to use a shorter one ...

I dont mind adding another section of 3inch pipe in there, I guess the only difference in flexi lengths would be the amount of movement in the joint.

^ basically yes ...

Thanks mate

The top one I would use only for heat related movement like an external gate dump pipe. The second would be better. Remember a transaxle engine has more exhaust movement than a rwd so when it's fitted make sure it's not under pull tension when fitted. As when the motor moves it will try stretching the exhaust beyond its limits.

Thanks for the advice Nigel, much appreciated
