The exhaust flex pipe is a flexible tube usually made of stainless steel, which is giving the exhaust line enough flexibility during the movement of the vehicle. This helps to limit the cracks that could appear in the exhaust system if the pipe was rigid, or avoid damaging other parts to which it is attached. The exhaust flex pipe absorbs vibrations produced by the engine, preventing the other components to be affected.

The exhaust flex pipe is made in braided steel, which allows it to give this flexibility. The braiding can be double or triple depending on the type of vehicle: In general, a gas powered car will be fitted with a double braided flex pipe, while a diesel car will have a triple braided flex pipe.

After a certain time, the movements exerted on the flexible exhaust pipe by the vehicle will deform it or even crack it. The exhaust flex pipe could also get attacked by rust or could tear due to excessive pressure in the catalytic converter if it gets blocked.

In today's video Mike reviews a broken flex pipe on a vehicle and shows the main cause of these components becoming damaged over time due to worn or broken engine mounts.
