exhaust help

would it be ok to put flexi exhaust pipe on my 88400 headers for a little so i can start my car and get to the shop

 

I don't see why not if it's not too far. I've run no exhaust for a couple of miles with no damage. Wouldn't try that twice though.

 

Go to the exhaust shop and ask them to make you up some pipes about a foot long. These will be used to get the car to the shop.

 

but i am asking would the flexi pipe work for a very temporary job

 

Yes...it would probably work. You will still be shooting flames out from underneath your car...but at least you can point them in a desireable location.

 

HUH?

 

I find when driving a car around with shorty headers and a little bit of tailpipe to clear the firewall.....you will still have flames coming out of your exhaust. Pretty cool at night.

 

well i cant find flexible pipe do you guys know where i could get some simple exhaust pipe so its not pointing at the firewall and somewhere safe
i was thinking like autozone or napa

 

Try a local muffler shop. I always keep a 55 gallon drum of "scrap" pipe. leftovers from jobs, mistakes, etc. I would normally give small pieces away or charge a little(5 or 10 bucks) for longer pieces or if they needed a flange/bend.

 

I have seen pre-bent stuff at O'reilleys.

 

Call a tow truck, and use the money, and time you'd spend making something work, and just tow it to an exhaust shop.
