Flex Pipe

Is a flex pipe needed for the exhaust system when turbo charging the tc? To give away some of the undo stress put upon with the turbo system to the exhaust.

it's recommended

the flex is for when the engine moves due to torque and so it doesn't tweak your exhaust system.

tC comes stock with spring-loaded flex-joints (donuts) in the exhaust manifold and in the muffler. If you take the flexibility away via aftermarket parts then you risk breaking something.
