Flexpipe Cracked Again

So my flexpipe cracked again. I had it fixed like a 1year ago. Last time my stock down pipe cracked so i got one off of someone on the site. I got headers and dp off this guy. The flexpipe on the dp i got off the guy was cracked too but i had it fixed and he paid for the repairs soit was a good deal. But now I don't know what to do should i just get a whole new dp or get a new flexpipe welded on again. Has anyone ever had this problem before? A

Just ebay flexpipe 4x2.4

any exhaust shop should be able to replace it with ease; roughly. a 30-60 dollar job

Here's a 2.5 Diameter x 4" long flex pipe, which should fit perfectly on your stock DP.

I know for me the stock mounts moved ALOT. Luckily the dp bolts didnt tighten enough so it flexed at the catback/dp connection. Unluckily I ordered BWoody mounts and tightened it up a few weeks later with some modified bolts but the mounts took like a month to arrive so it started to leak from the movement. I isnt bad so I just let it leak.

I say get solid mounts and screw the flex pipe. May not be the greatest but it wont crack anymore.

I have heard of ZZP's flew pipe breaking time and time again... Maybe look into a different set-up? If you happy with the sound of it then just weld in another!
