🔧 Lawson Industries Universal Flex Tube FT22508N - Stainless Steel Review

Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, I decided to install a stainless steel muffler and this one exceeded my expectations. It produced a deep growling sound and improved the horsepower of my car. However, installation was a bit challenging for me as a beginner.

I used this part to replace a broken flex cable on my Audi A4 1.8T. It fits perfectly and the quality is excellent. Welding is a bit tricky as you have to weld the top of the pipe where it's hard to see and reach. It also helps to cut the old pipe in a very straight cut to align the new part properly. I wish the lead time wasn't 3-4 weeks; I don't understand why it's taking so long.

This flexible section is not suitable for front wheel drive vehicles. I added an extra flexible connector to the back of my VW TDI to avoid resonances in the exhaust. This is the longest bend they sell and it barely bends. I think I was only able to get about 1/8 inch of bend by bending it over my knee and squeezing hard. The standard flex section moves several inches with little or no effort. It is also better to use standard Vibrant Performance flexible couplings with no inner liner.
