I am in the process of welding together an exhaust for the metro, and was wondering if anyone had made there own exhausts. I was thinking of putting a flexible piece in at the bottom of the downpipe, to take the place of where the ball is on a standard exhaust. Just in the hope that it will last for a bit longer.

Flexible sections are common place in some modern cars. Try to fit it so that it only has to deal with movement in one axis.

Jetex do a very good range of bends in both mild and stainless ... many places stock their stuff but in case you can't find it locally to you may I recomend Merlin Motorsport

Yeah thats exactly the type of flexi that i was looking for, just need to find the same in the uk now.... I think that it will look a bit better with this type of joint rather than just the flexible hose. |

These guys sell bits to make up exhausts on ebay, They will do bends and expanding to order over the phone.
