Flex downpipe

[spec_k]

So what do you guys think? Seems like all the JDM downpipes aren't made with flex joints, but I've heard good things about having that flex joint. Only problem for me is that it seems like Megan is the only one that makes it with a flex joint, and I'm not particularly excited about buying from them. Think I should just stick with JDM and go with a solid downpipe?

I've got a 89 240sx with an sr20det swap. Completely stock setup right now, but I plan on targetting 350-400 hp in the future. Not bothering with the exhaust manifold or the elbow until I upgrade my turbo. Going to be installing a high flow cat along with HKS hi-power catback once I finally decide on the downpipe.

Thanks, appreciate any feedback.

KTS makes a Downpipe with a Flex Joint.

SPLParts can get them in in three weeks.

The flex joint doesn't particularly matter though.

I'm running a stainless downpipe without a flex section and it's fine. When you might want to consider getting a flex section is if you're running a stainless tubular manifold instead of the rock solid log type manifold.
