Has anyone used the above for bends? I need a new exhaust and we sell this stuff at work and it's cheeaaapp! I am completely skint and it's only a shitty poverty spec r33 2.5na. Will only be used for the bends and just normal mild steel for the rest. What you recon?
my mate did .. on an xr2tt.. it went the whole length of the car lmao. it was ok. went solid after a while and started to break apart.
As said, after a while it just ends up locking solid, then splits. You'll get a couple of months use out of it before it screws up.
Might well last up better if its mounted properly, to be fair the only experience I had of it was with a bodged up volvo exhaust that moved around shitloads.
I used a length of stainless flex-pipe from my external wastegate, I used a t-bolt hose clamp on each end rather than welding it (Got the idea from a vintage Mercedes at the local car museum) works great.
I'm just going to use the flexi pipe to sleeve over the mild steel and just use some u bolts to make sure its tight. That way I can remove/replace bite easier Might go have a play after I finish watching scrapheap challenge lol
