DPF flexi joint

Canadiesel · 07-05-2020, 11:25 PM

Can someone with their DPF removed measure the length and diameter of the flexi joint?

I did some work on the rear end and lowered the exhaust but put too much strain on the flexi joint at the DPF and its leaking now. I just want to have a new flexi joint ready to weld in when I remove the old one.

Not interested in deleting the DPF at this point so please don't say "just buy a downpipe"

Thanks

I’m betting you can get a doaner or cheap replacement one. I suggest this as getting that flex welded doesn’t seem simple. Full admission that I’m not a professional welder though. Go to Facebook group North American BMW Diesel Owners Group. Plenty sources of DPF there for next to nothing.
