RP Remarkable Power, 2.5 inch Inlet Exhaust Flex Pipe, ID x 10 Length Flexible Tube, Stainless Steel Double Braid Heavy Duty Universal type Muffler Pipe RK7545 Replacement part

Everything worked out great! The auto shop wanted $475.00 to do this, it took me a little over an hour to do it, and I had to crawl under the SUV to do it!

Given the “proper” fix is a new cat assembly, this was a cheap way out of a failed flexi coupling on our 2013 equinox 2.4. I cut the old flex out right at the transition to the stainless bellows on the cat side and unbolted the flange just past it. I then cut the old flex from the flange and welded the new flex to the cleaned-up flange and used a standard 2.5” stainless exhaust clamp to fasten onto the cat outlet side. With a new Fel-Pro 61841 gasket, I then bolted the outlet side flange up using a new set of M10 nuts/bolts. Our Equinox no longer has loud exhaust and fumes entering the cabin!

Got a 2011 chevy equinox. Flex pipe was coming apart and the 2 parts that bolt exhaust together the gasket was blowing out. Exhaust was loud and sounded bad. I cut in front of flex pipe and behind where the flange is that bolts them together and took off hanger. Used this and a 5 inch 2.5 exhaust pipe and 2 2 5/8 clamps and a 2.5 inch butt clamp and fixed my exhaust leak. Well worth it. Glad i did it.

I'm using these for a temporary fix for my exhaust system. They're working well for what they were intended for. Brought down the noise level a lot. Easy to install and they were a good price for what they are

Perfect fit for my 2014 equinox

These worked really nice for my custom exhaust in tight areas

ON TIME

First, the pros: this thing is fairly stout. It seems to be well-made. The welds aren’t works of art, but they’re decent and complete. Remember, this is an exhaust pipe (usually going under your car); i didn’t expect a museum piece.The cons: the ‘stoutness’ of this piece makes it almost inflexible. You’ll be lucky if you get more than 1/2”-1” of waggle out of it, and that’s with really reefing on it. Also, the ID is a little too large/sloppy for my application. It claims to be 2.5”, but it’s almost 2-5/8’s. In the photos, you will see a 2.53” pipe inserted into with, with quite a decent gap between the two.Unfortunately, I missed my opportunity window to return the product, but for only $24, it is one of my more inexpensive mistakes. It just stinks that the company’s description is not quite accurate, and now I can’t use it. You’ve been warned!
