so question time:

Was this only a dp? or did you have the flex cut off and re-welded or what?

I had the DP done, cat added and resonator added. There is no flex.

Exhaust Clip:
YouTube - 2004 Grand Prix Exhaust

I love how quiet it is at idle

how what?

you dont need a flex section, it just keeps the rest of the exhaust on the car from moving around.

Stock ones...not a big deal not to have a flex in all honestly, it does also rely on the exhaust hangers as well

Best to get rid of that Flex section on the SD headers now rather than later...

how much that cost you?

Some local guy did it for $80. Probably gonna be more for a shop, took about 3-4 hours

Welding that close to lines and the firewall...it takes some patience.

I'm having mine re-done as soon as I get my goodies in...uh huh. Goodies...that's right Dave.

I would put a flex on there before you start tearing off your exhaust hangers.

There are ton of cars out there with out a flex section. I've been running this for months now, I think the hangers are fine.

I know LS1 guys with out any flex sections on a Rear Mount Turbo setup...Its fine
