I'm pretty sure the flexible section needs to be 70mm ID.

I had mine fitted in Salisbury by Torque Technique http://www.torquetechnique.co.uk/index.html. They bought in a quantity of suitable pipe and may still have some left. Tel. 01722 744747.

Thats Power for you, they do like to inflate their prices smile

Big thumbup for Mick at Torque Technique Ltd smile the guy can work wonders bending stainless tubes.

Fitted the flexi, repaired a few other things he found, replaced all the clamps nice job and quick to.
The guy can make you any custom xorst you want..LS headers, Clive Ford style spaggeti headers (bent so no weld joints between straights and bent sections) cool. Going to get him to make me a custom trackday silencer tail pipe i can easily bolt on so no more Act cans sticking 2 foot out the rear!.

Glad that worked out well for you. I was very pleased with the job he did on my Griff's flexi coupling. Shame he doesn't do roll cages too, would be handy to have an expert that near.
