I'll have a dig around to see if i can grab a pic of the vid footage I took

Post by: iianorthants on March 01, 2005, 12:25:59: we buy flexi pipe from the local auto suppliers, as 1/5th the prices as Demontweeks/motec, cost about Ã‚Â£15 for two meters and is very nice for replacing the front flexi joint on the disco's.

Neat concept, but dangerous. After a run the bumper will be hot enough to cause serious burns. It's certainly not a sensible option for a street driven vehicle or anyone who's got kids.

I agree but I would insulate it. Ive run pipes through body panels and up the roll cage before and all have been heavily insulated (very cheap and easy to do) so there would be no risk of heating the cross member. Also that gives risk to metal chassis distortion so again I would not risk that.
