Catalytic Converter Down Pipe

CAUTION: When a flex coupling is moved from the normal mounting position it is possible to over-flex and damage the flex coupling. Always support the flex coupling and pipe assembly to avoid over-flexing. The Flex coupling is designed to flex a maximum of six degrees which is equivalent to the pipes connected to the joint moving no more than 1 inch for every l foot length of pipe. (if the pipe connected to the joint is 3 feet long, the end of the pipe could be moved a maximum of 3 inches).
