I want to buy the stock Subaru exhaust flex joint. the flanges, spring loaded bolt thingies , and doughnut gasket. preferred in a 2" . If anyone know where i can get this, maybe aftermarket like a univeral style, or off a subaru that would be great.

I keep breaking normal Flex pipes in my rally car.

Apparently they are common on aircraft and stock exhausts and are called spring bolt couplings.

It might be interesting to build a turbo crossover pipe with one of these instead of the "flex" joints that fail as well.

Manufacturer is FlangeEx Manufacturing. The product page is messed up, but here are the part numbers.

Part # SPRING BOLT COUPLING w/PIPE EXTENSIONS

FX1750 Spring Bolt Coupling 1-3/4" in/out - 10" long
FX2000 Spring Bolt Coupling 2" in/out - 10" long
FX2250 Spring Bolt Coupling 2-1/4" in/out - 10" long
FX2500 Spring Bolt Coupling 2-1/2" in/out - 10" long
FX3000 Spring Bolt Coupling 3" in/out - 10" long

Here is a Canadian reseller.
