Flexible pipe VW interlock 45-250VW

Flexible pipe VW interlock 45-250VW

The Flexible pipe VW interlock 45-250VW is a reinforced stainless steel exhaust flex joint designed for Volkswagen exhaust system repair and professional exhaust fabrication. Built with a durable internal interlock liner, this model provides excellent vibration absorption, high pressure resistance, and long-term reliability in both standard and performance applications.

The key advantage of the Flexible pipe VW interlock 45-250VW is its internal stainless steel interlock construction. Unlike conventional flex pipes that rely only on an external braid, the interlock liner forms a protective inner channel that shields the outer braid from direct exhaust gas flow. This significantly reduces internal wear, improves structural strength, and extends service life — particularly in turbocharged petrol and diesel engines operating under elevated temperature and pressure conditions.

Engine movement during acceleration, braking, gear changes, and thermal expansion places constant stress on the exhaust system. Without a properly functioning flex joint, this stress may cause cracked welds, exhaust leaks, catalytic converter damage, or turbocharger strain. The Flexible pipe VW interlock 45-250VW effectively compensates for engine movement and isolates vibration, helping to protect surrounding exhaust components and maintain overall system integrity.

Manufactured from high-quality corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this exhaust flex pipe offers excellent resistance to heat, oxidation, moisture, and road salt exposure. The reinforced outer stainless steel braid adds mechanical durability while maintaining the flexibility required for long-term performance.

With a 45mm inner diameter and 250mm overall length, the Flexible pipe VW interlock 45-250VW is ideal for installations requiring a narrower diameter combined with extended flexibility. The longer construction improves stress distribution and allows greater movement compensation, making it suitable for diesel engines, turbocharged applications, and custom exhaust layouts where additional flex length is beneficial.

Professional TIG or MIG welding installation is recommended to ensure correct alignment, secure mounting, and leak-free operation.
