Broken Turbo flex pipe.
 

After getting the B2 valve in, i noticed that my flex pipe that from the turbo to the down pipe exhaust has broken, i was wanting to know if i could use this as an alternative click here

Perhaps if you can get it to attach securely to the turbo and the exhaust.

Where did it break/crack?

I might have one.

I've also got some other stuff for you.

Boy, that is a nice looking Flex Pipe on eBay!

However, if you decide not to use that and get a use one at the Junk Yard. I would suggest bringing something along to crack the Nut that tightens the Flex Pipe to the Turbo.
I have tried on 2 occasions to reomove Flex Pipes at the Junk Yard only to find that the Nuts were frozen on so bad that it was either going to ruin the band or snap the T-Bolt on it.

I repaired mine about a year and a half ago by wrapping it with a piece of sheet metal smeared with silicone. I held it in place with two hose clamps. So far so good. I did order a whole new pipe back then but I haven't installed because the repair has held up so well.

Well mine broke in two, the mid section of it just fell apart, Mercedes dealer wants $250 for it :eek:

Just fix it right. When mine failed I just replaced the whole pipe section, been great since....and it fit properly. Of course that is the only stock part of the exhaust on my car, from there onward its a 2.5" straight pipe. :D :D

Mine went last summer, broke clean off where the flex connects to the lower pipe. It sounded pretty sweet but the drone got old pretty quick. A new one is about $140 from ********; although not stainless, the one I got from ******** looks to be about the same quality as the one on ebay.

The local muffler shop installed this for me, can't remember exactly, probably around $150.
Check post #16, I had the resonators replaced with a straight pipe from there back to a stock ANSA muffler.

car-part.com or local junkyard ftw. 126 IS different than 123.

Hmmmm....

I have had a weird rattle under the hood. It is not the air cleaner, the mounts or the mount itself. I wonder if this might be the culprit?

Are these things breaking at the flanges where they mount or in the middle somewhere?

Oil return tube might not be fastened properly to the bottom of air cleaner, or exhaust heat shield might be rattling. They're in the same area, so it might throw you off.

It is a relatively simple DIY.

mine broke at flange.

X2 on that, except I just bought the flex pipe at the muffler shop ($65) and had a buddy weld it in place...

^ Something to be said about welding skills and equipment.

I am not looking into buying the entire exhaust system, Here's a pict of whats broken

Is that clamped on BEFORE the down pipe (braided SS line)?

I bet you could find it at McMaster-Carr.

Okay, I was thinking something else. You may be able to find as rrgrassi mentioned.

yeah, you had everyone confused. junk yard for that i would say. that ebay part will not work.

Fastlane has it. 617 142 00 59; EPC calls it "Flexible Metal Tube" #65 in the diagram.

What is the large part below the turbo called? It looks the size of a football and what does it do? I think mine is leaking exaust out of it, I have no boost in my turbo, trying to find the problem. i think it's an exaust leak some where there. Also does taking the resognator back by the muffler affest the turbo? thanks guys!

Mine broke also. Had a nice big crack in it on the 87 D. At first I just loosened the clamps for it, and then welded the crack shut as I rotated it. Held pretty good. looked like crap.

I could not find the part after searching so I grabbed the used one off the 87 TD I snagged the head from Saturday.

Be sure you measure the down flex pipe length because there is more than one length... A number of years ago when W. Hunter and I were first starting on my 300D we thought that we'd ordered the correct pipe. It turned out that my car is kind of weird (thus the name "Hen's tooth") in that it is a 1985 300D 49 state car with California stuff on it (vacuum system) and the down pipe dimension we found out would have actually been listed for a 1984 49 state vehicle. (The car does not have the Calif trap ox or air cleaner.) We had to send back what was supposed to be the correct 1985 down flex pipe for the 1984 pipe... Go figure... but nothing on this car has been easy... It was built on Halloween day in 1984!

Turbo Exhaust/Flexible Pipe Clamp
 

Does anyone know what part # is for #77 in this diagram? I had to cut mine out because the bolt was rusted out and stuck, and I cannot find the part number or a generic replacement. I tried ordering a generic clamp but the inner clamping section was too wide and it wouldn't work.

Does anyone know the part number or a suitable clamp to replace it?

These have been an ongoing PITA for me on Mutt the Race Truck. The issue has been that I need a different flange to make up to my race-only thru-the-fender exhaust pipe and it's almost impossible to weld to those as they're as thin as tissue paper (well, not quite but you catch my drift). There's a guy in town who does welding for me when it's beyond my skill level and we has been able to make something work but 'tain't easy. I wish I could find a good aftermarket supplier so we could at lest start with a fresh one. TIG welding SS that is impregnated with crud isn't easy.
