Does flex pipe make a big difference on DP ?

[turbotaone]

My car has a lot of buzz and vibration and I was
wondering if I bought a DP with the flex pipe on it
if that would help this problem? I have a 3" DP
without the flex pipe now.

James, the flex pipe makes a VERY big difference and will reduce harsh vibration.

You can get a stainlesss flex pipe at Stainless Works and add it to your current downpipe.

I was originally going to get a THDP for my car but $550 is an awful lot for something which I don't think is necessary for my performance level (low 12's). I still want to ditch the stock crimped DP though. I'm now thinking a 2.5" mandrel bent ATR stock replacement with an added flex section and a little porting on my stock puck will be a nice and cost effective upgrade-- about $250 for the 2.5" ATR downpipe and an added SS flex piece.
