Road trip blues

[Gregory OConnor]

Kerry, The Flexpipe you are talking about runs from engine part to
engine part and a solid pipe woud do. ( I am sure you know, just
wanted to point out to others) There is a need for flex pipe section
in the exhaust system between the bushing mounted diesel engine and
the solid frame mounted tail and stack pipes. the flex section
takes up the engine torque roll and frame twist and keeps the
manifolds, pipes and brackets from tweeking and cracking

I kept snapping pipes on a truck untill it was found that the flex
section was parallel to the torque roll and would not provide any
give. I added a flex on a section that was on an angle to the engine
axis to correct the problem.
