Yeah sorry about that. I am just really getting fed up with internet mechanics (whose knowledge is limited to what they have read on boards like this) spreading false information

The fact is that the factory up pipe has a flex. period. Its not opinion, its a fact. I have one with the heatsheilds taken off in my basement. Why would I just make that up? It doesnt even make sense that I would, as I have nothing to gain from lieing that it has one.

I hate dicks like this, go spouting off without even bothering to check facts.
