now your planning a head.
but, lol im murder here. you can get a damn good flex for 20 shipped off ebay, its a true dual wall flex, the mesh part is a 1/2 inch thick.
no idea what the shop would want for the ones they sell.
and the 6 inch flex i got lifted the goose neck a bit too. you can also add another v band clamp to the flex, so all you need to do is weld the v bans on a new flex some day to replace it.
3 inch v band clamps are also 20 shipped off ebay.
