Cotreker Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 I have been using this exhaust flex piping and not happy with how quickly it will rust out. Mine is not the high end stainless. Can I coat my new piece with some material to make it last longer? Maybe even high temp Black paint. Anyone got any great ideas. My pipe lasted about 4 to 5 years. At least I keep this spare pipe over the years. Location from the muffler to hard pipe about 32".

ddm502001 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 By the time you buy two or three lengths of that and replaced the stretched out clamps will be money ahead buying the SS, Coating will do no more than allow the ring segments to rust inside the crimps and still fail. Been installing Flex since the 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotreker Posted February 6 Author Report Share Posted February 6 Good point ddm, where do I purchase the SS pipe? Is it harder to work with. I purchased this pipe in picture from NAPA years ago in a 10' section. Thanks for your suggestions.

lappir Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 I can't remember if you have a "Weed" burner or exhaust stack. This spring when I started my truck after sitting most of the winter I found that apparently my stack collected water over the winter and I had a lot of stuff to clean off of the drome box and the back of the sleeper. I put a plastic bucked over the stack for the rest of the stay and a couple times during the summer. Had planned to do so on arrival to OK this winter, but didn't get it done and of course the last few days have been very rainy. I'd like to do something that I don't have to remember to put up there. (Or remember to remove. Last one was launched and I could not find it.) Maybe you are getting water in that flex pipe causing it to rust out.
