DA 85 Header, Flex or no flex???
Hi Folks,
I am planning to install the KS tuned pipe on my DA 85 and I am wondering about the header. Should I buy one with flex or no flex?? I am asking because troybuiltmodels are saying that the flex one may break over time.
'The non flex pipes are made with 2.5 degrees of right thrust built in so they install easily and won't leak or break.'
Thanks

flex or fix . as you wish 
any angle or drop are no problem. if you like flex . keep it two parts and use teflon tap to rap it after connect engine and canister . like fix header . just solid two parts together . easy choice

Would a brace to a point about 4 inches from exhaust port help keep the vibration down somewhat and just use a hi temp silicone connecter in the one joint to can/pipe/whatever? Capt,n
