General Exhaust flexi section size req?

[tonyn]

Can anybody tell me the internal diameter I would need on a replacement front flexi pipe section on my 2007 1.1 Panda?
Also, I see that they come in various lengths, 200mm, 300mm etc.
What is the best length to buy?
Thanks

Is it worth it

The whole front isn't too dear

Pretty sure you could pick one up for around £35


Front is 45mm and rear of flexi is 40mm I believe

I did replace just the flexi
But only because I couldn't get a centre pipe cheaply in Ireland
Better availability in the UK

As koalar says, problem with flexi is that the cat is different diameter to the pipe (it is 45mm / 40mm)
But aftermarket flexi will have same diameter front and rear

I had to cut slots in mine and squeeze it down

Not something I would recommend. Bit of an unsatisfactory bodge

If you really have to, I used 45mm x 250mm

Had a look under car recently to find source of a tapping/exhaust blow sound type noise and noticed this on flexijoint. Centre pipe was replaced 2 years ago with flexijoint but this doesnt look normal to me. Or is it normal for a 2 year old pipe?
