Sorry for the Q's. I'm a bit lost on this stuff. TIA!
I was wondering about those as well. I think they look great anybody know? No Hijack Tom I pmed the panzer to ask as well.

Braided hose is not the norm IMHO. Solid stainless is more common and D you are getting solid stainless.

Thanks for that Greg I was wondering if that was a heat or thermal barrier in a stainless lattice work that slipped over the piping?

No, it's a flex fit fitting. It's a triple layer of braiding.

What you see in the pics I posted are:
  1. Stainless Works headers w/ 3" OD collector outlets.
  2. Magnaflow MPE-59959 7.75" length cats (with 1/2" cut from each side to further reduce length) w/ 3" ID slip on connections to Stainless Works header 3" OD collectors and retained by heavy duty SS seal clamps.
  3. The Magnaflow cats have Stainless Works part # TT32.5 3" to 2 1/2" SS transition reducers (length cut to fit) welded to the discharge side (examples)
  4. which are welded to the 2 1/2" SS flex sections
  5. which are then welded to the 2 1/2" Corsa system.
In my case I wanted flex sections right after the cats to help isolate vibration and reduce the bending forces transmitted to the headers and engine by the rather rigid construction of Corsa exhaust system. The SS flex sections are 2.5" ID x 4" long, slip-on weld type from Vibrant Performance part # 45544
http://vibrantperformance.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=1022_1035_1064_1113
(example)

These flexes are gas-tight construction with inner and outer braided SS liners to help protect the SS bellows. I would have preferred to use even longer flex sections and added SS V-band clamps to ease of assembly but Corsa pipe on the driver's side did not allow for enough length between the cat outlet and the first bend to fit all of these components in and at the time I did not want to get into heavily modifying the Corsa piping. As it turned out the flex sections were all that was needed to help make assembly and removal of the exhaust system via the collector clamp joints a snap. I have about 750 miles on the sytem since installed and so far no problems to report except for an even a more accute case of perma grin.

Thank you Mr. Jag for that easy to follow explaination!

I never thought about vibration isolation in our exhaust systems. Hummmm, I wonder if that contributes to the dreaded resonance issues???

Seriously, thank you for putting so much effort into the sharing your info!
