- August 20, 2014, 19:35:10 PMRoving90 - did you check out the ebay listing for the Road House exhaust with flexible heat shields - eBay item number:171391858707?
It's listed until September 17th, if I lived in the US I would have bought them, unfortunately with exchange rate, shipping, import taxes and 15 % GST it just isn't economical to get them shipped to the bottom of the world.....LoL

They use it for tractors and stuff.Check with some of your local shops in the area- find someone that bends exhaust tubing perhaps, or does some truck exhaust. They should have easy access to SS flex.

- August 19, 2014, 20:08:36 PMQuote from: Kiwi Caveman on August 18, 2014, 22:50:30 PMI'm going to guess between the cost of the flex and then the shipping - you could probably buy a whole 10' piece locally. Check with some of your local shops in the area- find someone that bends exhaust tubing perhaps, or does some truck exhaust. They should have easy access to SS flex.FYI - Greenbarn, I would be interested in the 2" SS flex exhaust tubing but it would be dependent on cost of shipping to Wellington 6022, New Zealand.

It appears to be SS flex exhaust tubing. I can buy it relatively inexpensively from my exhaust supplier, and could cut pieces to length pieces and ship it to those who want it. I have to buy 10 or 20 feet at at a time, though. It appears to be 2" flex, but I would want to know for sure.

It never ceases to amaze me that if you ask something "outside the box" companies just don't respond (sorry about the gripe)

- August 11, 2014, 19:07:32 PMok couple of questions:
I went out and checked my system just now, and you would need 18" for the front and 13" for the rear and that is enough for a any issues. So in chrome it will run in the area of 125.90, and no cost on shipping yet.
But my questions are more technical.
I know that the smooth heat shields are only cover only a bit over half the exhaust pipes. This will allow a lot of air flow over the exhaust to keep it cool. So a solid cover over the pipe keep a lot of the heat inside the cover, good or bad?
These are made of copper? Not sure how they would stand up to the heat.
It will be interesting on what Kiwi can find out.
