Exhaust Flexi Pipe - Inlet And Outlet Directions?

[clip14]

Hi

I bought a 3inch flexi for my exhaust system from ebay/trademe and it did not come with an indication of an 'inlet side' and 'outlet side' i.e. which direction it should be installed for the flow direction.

All the flexi's the fitting shop had in store had an indication.

Are there any issues with the direction of flow through a flex pipe? Or is the mechanic trying to shaft me?

Cheers

It would depend on the construction as there are many different styles and qualities of flex joins. If there are no markings it wouldn't matter which way it was installed.

Thanks for the response mate. The weave looked identical on both sides as well

Will see how the install etc goes today.

Install went fine (welds were messy for my taste - will get them re done at some later point, no leaks so far) no issues with direction as far as I can tell. thanks
