My header

[420a98Avenger]

Hey guys...


i new here and i have a 98 avenger (420a)
and i bought the cheap ebay headers like a year ago, and now I have a problem...with my flex pipe at the bottom of my headers, ever since i was lowered and didn't have any hangers for the hi-flow cat, my flex pipe has hit the ground a million times, and now it has like 3 holes in it...do i really need it? can't i just cut it out and put a pipe with clamps there?


thanks guys

You will put stress on your headers from the rest of the exhaust system. The rest of the exhaust has a huge torque arm to put force on your headers, the flex system isolates that and keeps problems from happening. Why not get another flex system and properly suspend your cat?

Without a flex section, the manifold is more likely to crack.
