Flexible pipe VW interlock 50-170VW

Flexible pipe VW interlock 50-170VW

The Flexible pipe VW interlock 50-170VW is a high-quality stainless steel exhaust flex joint engineered for Volkswagen exhaust system repair and custom exhaust fabrication. Designed with a reinforced internal interlock liner, this model provides enhanced structural stability, improved pressure resistance, and reliable vibration absorption in demanding driving conditions.

Unlike standard braided flex pipes, the Flexible pipe VW interlock 50-170VW features a solid internal interlock structure that protects the outer braid from direct exhaust gas flow. This construction significantly reduces internal wear, prevents premature braid failure, and increases overall service life. The reinforced interlock liner is especially beneficial for turbocharged petrol and diesel engines where exhaust pressure and temperature levels are considerably higher.

During vehicle operation, engine movement caused by acceleration, braking, torque load changes, and thermal expansion creates stress within the exhaust system. Without a properly functioning flexible joint, this stress may lead to cracked welds, exhaust leaks, catalytic converter damage, or turbocharger strain. The Flexible pipe VW interlock 50-170VW effectively isolates vibration and compensates for engine movement, reducing mechanical load on surrounding exhaust components.

Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this exhaust flex pipe delivers excellent durability against heat, oxidation, and road salt exposure. The outer stainless steel braid adds mechanical protection while maintaining the necessary flexibility required for long-term performance.

With a 50mm inner diameter and 170mm overall length, the Flexible pipe VW interlock 50-170VW offers increased flexibility compared to shorter models, allowing better stress distribution and improved vibration damping. The extended length makes it suitable for installations where additional movement compensation is required while still fitting within limited exhaust system space.

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