where is the stock uppipe flex?
People are always touting uppipes with flex sections as better to avoid leaking gasket issues and because 'the factory uppipe has a flex section.' I just gutted my factory pipe and I don't see a flex section in it anywhere. Am I missing something?

The flex section is in the pipe itself, which is under the outer heat shielding so you can't see it. You'd have to cut all the shielding off to see it, but it's in there.
